Longitudinal Redundancy Check
<storage, communications> (LRC, Block Redundancy Check) An error checking
method that generates a longitudinal parity byte from a specified string or
block of bytes on a longitudinal track.
The longitudinal parity byte is created by placing individual bytes of a string
in a two-dimensional array and performing a Vertical Redundancy Check vertically
and horizontally on the array, creating an extra byte. This is an improvement
over the VRC because it will catch two errors in the individual characters of
the string, beyond the odd errors.
