A definition of a binary record.

A binary records consists of a number of binary fields, each of which is defined by a name and a format code. The format codes supported here are a subset of what python's struct module supports. The widths given below are for big, little, and packed binfmts. For native (which is the default), it depends on your platform.

* <number>s -- <number> characters making up a string * b,B -- signed and unsigned byte (8 bit) * h,H -- signed and unsigned short (16 bit) * i,I -- signed and unsigned int (32 bit) * q,Q -- signed and unsigned long (64 bit) * f,d -- float and double.

The content of this element gives the record structure in the format <name>(<code>){<whitespace><name>(<code>)} where <name> is a c-style identifier.
