35/* A generic radio capture format is desirable. There is one for
36 * Linux, but it is neither rigidly defined (there were not even
37 * units given for some fields) nor easily extensible.
38 *
39 * I suggest the following extensible radio capture format. It is
40 * based on a bitmap indicating which fields are present.
41 *
42 * I am trying to describe precisely what the application programmer
43 * should expect in the following, and for that reason I tell the
44 * units and origin of each measurement (where it applies), or else I
45 * use sufficiently weaselly language ("is a monotonically nondecreasing
46 * function of...") that I cannot set false expectations for lawyerly
47 * readers.
