Description-en: development libraries and headers for RSCODE
The RSCODE project is an implementation of a Reed-Solomon error correction
algorithm. It provides a byte-sized block coding which is convenient for
adding protection to data which is stored as eight-bit bytes (i.e., most
common computer data).
.
The Reed-Solomon code is the same one used for encoding of data on Audio CD's
and CD-ROM disks, as well as many magnetic and optical disk controllers. You
basically want to use Reed-Solomon coding in any situation where "forward
error correction" is needed, i.e., the decoder will not have the option of
requesting retransmission of bad blocks.
.
This package contains the header file and the static library.
