encode_rs8(9)
NAME
encode_rs8 - Calculate the parity for data values (8bit data width)
SYNOPSIS
int encode_rs8(struct rs_control * rs, uint8_t * data, int len,
uint16_t * par, uint16_t invmsk);
ARGUMENTS
- rs
- the rs control structure
- data
- data field of a given type
- len
- data length
- par
- parity data, must be initialized by caller (usually all 0)
- invmsk
- invert data mask (will be xored on data)
DESCRIPTION
The parity uses a uint16_t data type to enable symbol size > 8. The
calling code must take care of encoding of the syndrome result for
storage itself.
