What is ginger hash?

https://pkg.odin-lang.org/core/hash/#ginger16 Is this a hash algorithm created by @warped sundial ?

I am working on a small tool to scan my whole disk and find duplicated files, what will be a good hash algorithm for me to use? I am mostly working with video files with 100MB - 1GB size. The goal is to delete duplicated files to save disk space.

I made it up for when I needed a very small hash

Don't use that for what you want.

Use something like a CRC

Or a bigger hash
