DESCRIPTION
Returns a hash value for one or more values of arbitrary types.
The basis of this hash algorithm was taken from an idea sent
as reviewer comments to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2 committee by:
The calc hash value is based on the core Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
known as FNV-1. The return value, however, cannot be used
as an FNV hash value because calc's internal function also
takes into account more abstract concepts such as data types.
Phong Vo (http://www.research.att.com/info/kpv/)
Glenn Fowler (http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/)
In a subsequent ballot round:
Landon Curt Noll (http://www.isthe.com/chongo/)
improved on their algorithm. Some people tried this hash
and found that it worked rather well. In an EMail message
to Landon, they named it ``Fowler/Noll/Vo'' or the FNV hash.
FNV hashes are architected to be fast while maintaining a low
collision rate. The FNV speed allows one to quickly hash lots
of data while maintaining a reasonable collision rate. See:
