 Compute the 32-bit CRC of @var{buf} which has length @var{len}.  The
 starting value is @var{init}; this may be used to compute the CRC of
 data split across multiple buffers by passing the return value of each
 call as the @var{init} parameter of the next.
 
-This is intended to match the CRC used by the @command{gdb} remote
-protocol for the @samp{qCRC} command.  In order to get the same
-results as gdb for a block of data, you must pass the first CRC
-parameter as @code{0xffffffff}.
+This is used by the @command{gdb} remote protocol for the @samp{qCRC}
+command.  In order to get the same results as gdb for a block of data,
+you must pass the first CRC parameter as @code{0xffffffff}.
+
+This CRC can be specified as:
+
+  Width  : 32
+  Poly   : 0x04c11db7
+  Init   : parameter, typically 0xffffffff
+  RefIn  : false
+  RefOut : false
+  XorOut : 0
+
+This differs from the "standard" CRC-32 algorithm in that the values
+are not reflected, and there is no final XOR value.  These differences
+make it easy to compose the values of multiple blocks.
