node native bindings to a C rabin fingerprinting algorithm
npm install rabin-bindingsNode native addon module (C/C++) for Rabin fingerprinting data streams.
Uses the implementation of Rabin fingerprinting from LBFS.
Rabin fingerprinting is useful for finding the chunks of a file that differ from a previous version. It's one implementation of a technique called "Content-defined chunking", meaning the chunk boundaries are determinstic to the content (as opposed to "fixed-sized chunking").
