We don't use them, but they seem to be trying to describe what the developer fields are used for. We may now parse the developer fields enough to skip over them gracefully, but it looks like we migth some day want to _really_ parse them, and while I haven't figured it out (at all!) yet, this may some day help. For example, we get things like this: FIELD_DESCRIPTION_name (STRING): "Depth" FIELD_DESCRIPTION_unit (STRING): "feet" FIELD_DESCRIPTION_original_mesg (UINT16): 20 FIELD_DESCRIPTION_data_index (UINT8): 0 FIELD_DESCRIPTION_field_definition (UINT8): 0 FIELD_DESCRIPTION_base_type (UINT8): 136 which doesn't tell me anything at all right now, but looks like maybe it should some day. It looks like this is defining a developer field for depth in feet (duh), and the data format may be the same as a RECORD message (20), which does indeed normally contain the depth (but in mm as an UINT32, and it's field number 92, so..) End result: not useful right now, because I'm much too confused about it. But the debug printout looks interesting. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
