Phil,

CRCs are usually seeded with either 0xffff, or 0.  If you're trying to match
a CRC someone else has generated, you'll need to use the same seed they do.

A Painless Guide to CRC Error Detection Algorithms has a good discussion of
CRCs, including seeds < http://www.ross.net/crc/crcpaper.html>.

> Can someone elaborate on the last parameter of this function?
> In the doc it is   "crc     Seed crc value". What purpose does
> this serve, and how does it need to be set to get the proper
> crc. Different values give different end results.
