During construction of complex variable length structures for
some obscure API call or low level protocol implementation,
you better paste whole man page, and comment every bit
of filled memory. I saw lot of this type of code, where comment
like "let's fill resource record" is a bit of lacking. And, with Murphy's
help, probalbly some bits, like response bit is lacking in code also.
