rollsum v2.1.1

rollsum

A rollsum library for calculating content-based splits of buffers.

The cpp code that calculates the splits is from Camlistore rollsum.

install

$ npm install --save rollsum

usage

var rollsum = require('rollsum');

var splits = 0;
var rs = rollsum();

process.stdin.on('data', function (data) {
  // s will contain the indexes of the split
  // locations in the buffer
  var s = rs.roll(data);
  splits += s.length;
});

process.stdin.on('end', function () {
  console.log('splits = ' + splits);
});

NOTE: the maximum buffer size you can pass to roll is currently 65536; an error will be thrown if the buffer exceeds that size.

cli

Calculates the number of splits found in file.txt.

$ npm install -g rollsum
$ cat file.txt | rollsum
splits = <n>

test

$ npm test

for basic performance benchmarks, try pv:

$ pv <large-file> | rollsum
