.. function:: crc_hqx(data, value)
- Compute the binhex4 crc value of *data*, starting with *value* as the
- initial crc, and return the result.
+ Compute a 16-bit CRC value of *data*, starting with *value* as the
+ initial CRC, and return the result. This uses the CRC-CCITT polynomial
+ *x*:sup:`16` + *x*:sup:`12` + *x*:sup:`5` + 1, often represented as
+ 0x1021. This CRC is used in the binhex4 format.
