Calculate a CRC-16 value.
Defined in <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>
const void *data, size_t len); Uint16 SDL_crc16(Uint16 crc,
Uint16 | crc | the current checksum for this data set, or 0 for a new data set. |
const void * | data | a new block of data to add to the checksum. |
size_t | len | the size, in bytes, of the new block of data. |
(Uint16) Returns a CRC-16 checksum value of all blocks in the data set.

This function can be called multiple times, to stream data to be checksummed in blocks. Each call must provide the previous CRC-16 return value to be updated with the next block. The first call to this function for a set of blocks should pass in a zero CRC value.
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
