Document Conventions
Document Conventions
The following table lists the names used in this book to describe the various data field formats employed
in host input calls. Numeric constants used by the host input API or host input import tool are typically
unsigned integer values. Bit fields use low order bits unless otherwise noted. For example, in a one-byte
field that contains five bits of flag data, the low order five bits will contain the data.
