There are two parts, one is lib/crc.c, which contains only the crc function, the other is command/crc.c, which is a command to calculate the crc of selected file. Although it's not necessary to have a command, but it can 1) serve as an example of how to use the crc function, 2) as a cheap way to verify if a file is read correctly by the fs driver. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
