Return the CRC32‐C checksum of the specified data.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlde_crc32c.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
static
unsigned int
calculate(
    void const* data,
    std::size_t length,
    unsigned int crc = k_NULL_CRC32C);
----

== Description

Return the CRC32‐C value calculated for the specified `data` over the specified `length` number of bytes, using the optionally specified `crc` value as the starting point for the calculation. Note that if `data` is 0, then `length` also must be 0.

== Return Value

the CRC32‐C checksum of the specified data
