INIT_RS(9)                          Public Functions Provided                          INIT_RS(9)



NAME
       init_rs - Find a matching or allocate a new rs control structure

SYNOPSIS
       struct rs_control * init_rs(int symsize, int gfpoly, int fcr, int prim, int nroots);

ARGUMENTS
       symsize
           the symbol size (number of bits)

       gfpoly
           the extended Galois field generator polynomial coefficients, with the 0th coefficient
           in the low order bit. The polynomial must be primitive;

       fcr
           the first consecutive root of the rs code generator polynomial in index form

       prim
           primitive element to generate polynomial roots

       nroots
           RS code generator polynomial degree (number of roots)
