32/* A generic radio capture format is desirable. It must be
33 * rigidly defined (e.g., units for fields should be given),
34 * and easily extensible.
35 *
36 * The following is an extensible radio capture format. It is
37 * based on a bitmap indicating which fields are present.
38 *
39 * I am trying to describe precisely what the application programmer
40 * should expect in the following, and for that reason I tell the
41 * units and origin of each measurement (where it applies), or else I
42 * use sufficiently weaselly language ("is a monotonically nondecreasing
43 * function of...") that I cannot set false expectations for lawyerly
44 * readers.
