Man page 9 : encode_rs16

encode_rs16 - Calculate the parity for data values (16bit data width)

int encode_rs16(struct rs_control *  rs , uint16_t *  data , int  len , uint16_t *  par , uint16_t  invmsk );

rs
    the rs control structure

data
    data field of a given type

len
    data length

par
    parity data, must be initialized by caller (usually all 0)

invmsk
    invert data mask (will be xored on data, not on parity!)

Each field in the data array contains up to symbol size bits of valid data.
