+/**
  * Remap a record to the desired format as specified by the crf flags.
  * The record must be big enough to contain the final remapped version.
+ * Superfluous extension fields are removed and missing ones are added
+ * and zeroed. The flags of the record are updated accordingly.
+ *
+ * The jobid and rename extensions can be added to a record, to match the
+ * format an application expects, typically. In this case, the newly added
+ * fields will be zeroed.
+ * The Jobid field can be removed, to guarantee compatibility with older
+ * clients that don't expect this field in the records they process.
+ *
+ * The following assumptions are being made:
+ *	- CLF_RENAME will not be removed
+ *	- CLF_JOBID will not be added without CLF_RENAME being added too
+ *
+ * @param[in,out]  rec		The record to remap.
+ * @param[in]	   crf_wanted	Flags describing the desired extensions.
