So what are the byte orders of the 2-byte and 4byte integral fields?
What are the values that the msg_type field can have?
Presumably the values that the level field can have are 0-5, with the meanings
indicated.
Presumably category is a string; what does that string signify?
What do the values signify in a message of message type 0? They appear to
indicate a thread within a process; do they also indicate the sending class and
method? Is linen a line of source code in the implememtation of that method,
or something else? What is the tgid? What is the sequence number?
What is the payload following the header?
