47/**
48 * Computes Adler32 checksum for a stream of data. An Adler32
49 * checksum is not as reliable as a CRC32 checksum, but a lot faster to
50 * compute.
51 *<p>
52 * The specification for Adler32 may be found in RFC 1950.
53 * (ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification version 3.3)
54 *<p>
55 *<p>
56 * From that document:
57 *<p>
58 * "ADLER32 (Adler-32 checksum)
59 * This contains a checksum value of the uncompressed data
60 * (excluding any dictionary data) computed according to Adler-32
61 * algorithm. This algorithm is a 32-bit extension and improvement
62 * of the Fletcher algorithm, used in the ITU-T X.224 / ISO 8073
63 * standard.
64 *<p>
65 * Adler-32 is composed of two sums accumulated per byte: s1 is
66 * the sum of all bytes, s2 is the sum of all s1 values. Both sums
67 * are done modulo 65521. s1 is initialized to 1, s2 to zero. The
68 * Adler-32 checksum is stored as s2*65536 + s1 in most-
69 * significant-byte first (network) order."
