-h, --help display this text
-i, --input f open file f for reading (default: stdin)
-s, --start-at n start cycle with n (default: 0xFFFFFFFF)
-p, --polynomial n use n for crc calculations (default: 0x04C11DB7)
-e, --big-endian use big endian calculations (default: little)
-b, --binary output as binary (default: hex with newline)
-x, --xor xor the output by 0xFFFFFFFF
-r, --reflect reverse the bits of the output
numbers (n) can be entered as hexadecimal or octal with prefixes
Notes
=====
-----
* Defaults to comply to IEEE-802.3 specs.
* Does not pad input.
* Big endian calculations may not be accurate. I'll look into this.
