<code class="sig">Hash.crc32(s) -&gt; int</code>
<div class="desc"><p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check">CRC-32</a> checksum of a string's bytes — the standard IEEE 802.3 variant (reflected polynomial <code>0xEDB88320</code>), the same one used by zip, gzip and PNG. Its well-known check value: <code>Hash.crc32("123456789")</code> is <code>0xCBF43926</code>. Use it to catch accidental corruption in a save file, downloaded asset, or config blob: store the checksum alongside the data and compare on load. It detects damage, not tampering — an attacker can trivially forge a matching CRC, so it is not a security check (see the section note).</p></div>
