[PATCH 2/2] bitmap-format.txt: add information for trailing checksum

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Abhradeep Chakraborty <chakrabortyabhradeep79@xxxxxxxxx>

Bitmap file has a trailing checksum at the end of the file. However
there is no information in the bitmap-format documentation about it.

Add a trailer section to include the trailing checksum info in the
`Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt` file.
