SILC_STR_OFFSET

NAME

    #define SILC_STR_OFFSET() ...

DESCRIPTION

Offset in buffer. This can be used in formatting and unformatting to move the data pointer of the buffer either forwards (positive offset) or backwards (negative offset). It can be used to for example skip some types during unformatting.

EXAMPLE

    ..., SILC_STR_OFFSET(5), ...
    ..., SILC_STR_OFFSET(-3), ...

    Moves the data pointer at the point of the offset either forward
    or backward and then moves to the next type.  Multiple SILC_STR_OFFSETs
    can be used in formatting and unformatting at the same time.
