ISCC - Content Defined Chunking

Compatible with fastcdc

alg_cdc_chunks(data, utf32, avg_chunk_size = ic.core_opts.data_avg_chunk_size)

A generator that yields data-dependent chunks for data.

Usage Example:

for chunk in cdc_data_chunks(data):
    hash(chunk)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
data	bytes	Raw data for variable sized chunking.	required
utf32	bool	If true assume we are chunking text that is utf32 encoded.	required
avg_chunk_size	int	Target chunk size in number of bytes.	ic.core_opts.data_avg_chunk_size

Returns:

Type	Description
Generator[bytes]	A generator that yields data chunks of variable sizes.
