2017-07-14crc32.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab1-34/+41
Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - Add a title for the document; - Mark literal blocks. While here, replace a comma by a dot at the end of a paragraph. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2012-03-23crc32: move long comment about crc32 fundamentals to Documentation/Bob Pearson1-0/+182
Move a long comment from lib/crc32.c to Documentation/crc32.txt where it will more likely get read. Edited the resulting document to add an explanation of the slicing-by-n algorithm.
