Libcrc API Reference

crc_8( input_str, num_bytes );

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
input_str	const unsigned char *	The input byte buffer for which the CRC must be calculated
num_bytes	size_t	The number of characters in the input buffer

Return Value

Type	Description
uint8_t	The resulting CRC value

Description

The function crc_8() calculates a 8 bit CRC value of an input byte buffer based on the CRC algorithm as it is used in Sensirion SHTxx temperature and humidity sensors. The buffer length is provided as a parameter and the resulting CRC is returned as a return value by the function. The size of the buffer is limited to SIZE_MAX.
