DECODE_RS16(9)                      Public Functions Provided                      DECODE_RS16(9)



NAME
       decode_rs16 - Decode codeword (16bit data width)

SYNOPSIS
       int decode_rs16(struct rs_control * rs, uint16_t * data, uint16_t * par, int len,
                       uint16_t * s, int no_eras, int * eras_pos, uint16_t invmsk,
                       uint16_t * corr);

ARGUMENTS
       rs
           the rs control structure

       data
           data field of a given type

       par
           received parity data field

       len
           data length

       s
           syndrome data field (if NULL, syndrome is calculated)

       no_eras
           number of erasures

       eras_pos
           position of erasures, can be NULL

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

       corr
           buffer to store correction bitmask on eras_pos

DESCRIPTION
       Each field in the data array contains up to symbol size bits of valid data. Returns the
       number of corrected bits or -EBADMSG for uncorrectable errors.
