librscode1 is:

The RSCODE project is an implementation of a Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm. It provides a byte-sized block coding which is convenient for adding protection to data which is stored as eight-bit bytes (i.e., most common computer data).

The Reed-Solomon code is the same one used for encoding of data on Audio CD’s and CD-ROM disks, as well as many magnetic and optical disk controllers. You basically want to use Reed-Solomon coding in any situation where “forward error correction” is needed, i.e., the decoder will not have the option of requesting retransmission of bad blocks.
