+
+You can calculate the CRC of a part of an output section through the
+@code{DIGEST} command. The default section is the @code{".text"} section.
+The commands take parameters for a label, a @code{polynome} and then two more,
+specifying range of the checked area.  The end address is the first address
+past the checked area.
+
+The checksum is generated in little endian format, but this can be overridden by
+adding a @code{#BE} or @code{#LE} modifier to the label string.
+The generated label does not include the modifier. The endian can also be
+specified on the command line using @code{-BE} or @code{-LE}.

+@kindex DIGEST TABLE "<label>[#<endian>]"
+@page
+The @code{DIGEST TABLE} command creates a 1 or 2 kByte table for a table-driven
+CRC calculation.  This speeds up the CRC calculation over a non-table-driver
+version since you can handle 8 bits at a time, instead of 1 bit.
+
+The table generated is for the @code{polynome} selected using a
+@code{DIGEST <polynome>} command.
+
+The command will define the label supplied as a parameter.
+The table will be in small endian, unless the @code{.BE} or @code{.LE} extension
+is given to the label.
+It also defines a symbol based on the size of the polynome.
