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.
