how to set the crc for the frame of raw socket programming

after googled the following function

which input are valid for it?

if frame size = 14 (header) + 46(data) + 4 (crc)

is the length parameter = 46?
is *data = the data in char[46] data, memcpy(&data, &msg[14], 46) ?

what is foxes?

ether_crc_le(int length, u8_t *data, int foxes)



// Generating polynomial:
const uint32_t ethernet_polynomial_le = 0xedb88320U;

//bit-oriented implementation: processes a byte array.
unsigned ether_crc_le(int length, u8_t *data, int foxes)
{
unsigned int crc = (foxes) ? 0xffffffff: 0; /* Initial value. */
while(--length >= 0)
{
unsigned char current_octet = *data++;
int bit;
// printf("%02X, %08X, inv %08X\n", current_octet, crc, ~crc);

for (bit = 8; --bit >= 0; current_octet >>= 1) {
if ((crc ^ current_octet) & 1) {
crc >>= 1;
crc ^= ethernet_polynomial_le;
} else
crc >>= 1;
}
}
// printf("crc final %x\n", crc);
return crc;
}
