LISTofFOO A type name of the form LISTofFOO means a counted
list of elements of type FOO. The size of the
length field may vary (it is not necessarily the
same size as a FOO), and in some cases, it may be
implicit. Except where explicitly noted, zero-length
lists are legal.
AUID 32-bit value (top three bits guaranteed to be zero)
AUDEVICEID 32-bit value (top three bits guaranteed to be zero)
AUBUCKETID 32-bit value (top three bits guaranteed to be zero)
AUFLOWID 32-bit value (top three bits guaranteed to be zero)
BYTE 8-bit value
INT8 8-bit signed integer
INT16 16-bit signed integer
INT32 32-bit signed integer
CARD8 8-bit unsigned integer
CARD16 16-bit unsigned integer
CARD32 32-bit unsigned integer
AUFIXED CARD32
