Library configuration

Library routines

• Option: CRC_CCITT
  • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
  • (on/off/module) CRC-CCITT functions

    This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules require CRC-CCITT functions, but a module built outside the kernel tree does. Such modules that use library CRC-CCITT functions require M here.

• Option: CRC16
  • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
  • (on/off/module) CRC16 functions

    This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules require CRC16 functions, but a module built outside the kernel tree does. Such modules that use library CRC16 functions require M here.

• Option: CRC32
  • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
  • (on/off/module) CRC32 functions
  • default y

    This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules require CRC32 functions, but a module built outside the kernel tree does. Such modules that use library CRC32 functions require M here.

• Option: LIBCRC32C
  • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
  • (on/off/module) CRC32c (Castagnoli, et al.) Cyclic Redundancy-Check

    This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules require CRC32c functions, but a module built outside the kernel tree does. Such modules that use library CRC32c functions require M here. See Castagnoli93. Module will be libcrc32c.
