| Where, [] designate corresponding content is optional |
| |
| All <field string> description with * has the following format: |
| |
| field: <integer>, <field string> |
| |
| Where value of <integer> should be the position of "string" in <field |

| |
| All <field strings> description with # has the following format: |
| |
| field: <integer> |

| |
| Where each string in <fields strings> corresponding to one set bit of |
| <integer>. The bit position is the position of "string" in <field |
| strings> description. |
