- * You can calculate the CRC of non-contiguous arrays by passing @start_crc
- * as 0 the first time, and the current crc result from then on.

- * Example:
- *     #include <sys/uio.h>
- *     ...
- *     // Check that iovec has the crc we expect (Castagnoli version)
- *     static bool check_crc(uint32_t expected, const struct iovec *iov, int l)
- *     {
- *             uint32_t crc = 0;
- *             while (l >= 0) {
- *                     crc = crc32c(crc, iov->iov_base, iov->iov_len);
- *                     iov++;
- *             }
- *             return crc == expected;
