.SH DESCRIPTION
.B OneC_sum
is used to calculate the one's complement checksum needed for IP network
packets.
A good document about the Internet Checksum is RFC-1071 (Computing the
Internet checksum).
.PP
.B One_Csum
expects three parameters:
.TP 10
.I prev
The checksum of previous blocks of data that are to be included in the
checksum.
The value of prev in first call to oneC_sum should be 0.
.TP
.I data
A pointer to the block of data.
The data is interpreted as a series of 16 bit numbers in network byte order, but
an odd number of bytes is also allowed.
.TP
.I size
The size of the data in bytes.
