Create simple ETags
## Installation
```sh
$ npm install etag
```
## API
```js
var etag = require('etag')
```
### etag(entity, [options])
Generate a strong ETag for the given entity. This should be the complete
body of the entity. Strings, `Buffer`s, and `fs.Stats` are accepted. By
default, a strong ETag is generated except for `fs.Stats`, which will
generate a weak ETag (this can be overwritten by `options.weak`).
```js
res.setHeader('ETag', etag(body))
```
#### Options
`etag` accepts these properties in the options object.
##### weak
Specifies if a "strong" or a "weak" ETag will be generated. The ETag can only
really be a strong as the given input.
## Testing
```sh
$ npm test
```
## Benchmark
```bash
$ npm run-script bench
