LRC - Perl interface for longitudinal redundancy check generation
|
|
|
|
The Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) is a one byte character,
|
|
commonly used as a byte-field in data transmission over analog systems.
|
|
|
|
Most commonly, in STX-ETX bounded strings sent in financial protocols.
|
|
Following some previous experience with such protocols, I wrote
|
|
an LRC function in perl and later decided to re-write in C
|
|
for efficiency. The result is this module String::LRC,
|
|
which generates this aforementioned byte.
|
|
|
|
Commonly used in financial protocols as follows with ETX (ASCII 03)
|
|
appended to LRC sum and packets after the STX (ASCII 02), payload,
|
|
and ETX chars.
