Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be useful to update the documentation in CFE_ES_CalculateCRC function to include information on the CRC algorithms used, specifically CRC-16 as that is currently the only one implemented.

Describe the solution you'd like
Include the following information that describes the CRC16 algorithm

  • Name: CRC-16/ARC
  • Polynomial: 0x8005
  • Initialization: 0x0000
  • Reflect Input/Output: true
  • XorOut: 0x0000

Additional context
While the specific algorithm has several aliases (some listed here https://reveng.sourceforge.io/crc-catalogue/16.htm) this at least provides enough information for one to recreate the lookup table/perform their own sanity checks on the CRC calculations.
