    4343 * the reply, e.g. the data queried or a parameter to an error code.
    4444 *
    45  * \section protodata Protocol data types
     45 * \section protodata Types of protocol data elements
    4646 *
    4747 * The protocol's basic data elements are: 8-, 16- and 32-bit signed
    … …  
    6363 * - 90000 => 0x90 0xbf 0x05
    6464 *
     65 * \section datatypes Data type codes
     66 *
     67 * Each dataref of X-Plane has a certain data type, and some datarefs
     68 * can represent their values in multiple data types. Because of this
     69 * ambiguity and the fact that users should know the data type anyway,
     70 * especially when using a strongly typed language, the type should be
     71 * sent with the dataref name in commands that refer to one or more
     72 * datarefs.
     73 *
     74 * Each data type is represented as an 8-bit unsigned integer, whose
     75 * possible values are given in the table below:
     76 *
     77 * Data type | Value | Constant name
     78 * --------- | ----: | -------------
     79 * 32-bit signed integer | 0x01 | \anchor TYPE_INT TYPE_INT
     80 * single-precision floating-point value | 0x02 | \anchor TYPE_FLOAT TYPE_FLOAT
     81 * double-precision floating-point value | 0x03 | \anchor TYPE_DOUBLE TYPE_DOUBLE
     82 * array of single-precision floating-point values | 0x11 | \anchor TYPE_FLOAT_ARRAY TYPE_FLOAT_ARRAY
     83 * array of 32-bit signed integers | 0x12 | \anchor TYPE_INT_ARRAY TYPE_INT_ARRAY
     84 * array of 8-bit unsigned integers (bytes) | 0x13 | \anchor TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY
     85 *
     86 * The constant name is the name used in both client APIs to identify
     87 * the given type.
     88 *
     89 * The scalar data types are encoded as in the following table:
     90 *
     91 * Data type constant | Encoding
     92 * ------------------ | --------
     93 * \ref TYPE_INT | a 32-bit (4-byte) signed integer
     94 * \ref TYPE_FLOAT | a 32-bit (4-byte) IEEE 754 single-precision floating point value
     95 * \ref TYPE_DOUBLE | a 64-bit (8-byte) IEEE 754 double-precision floating point value
     96 *
     97 * The contents of an array is encoded as a sequence of values of the
     98 * items' type. It is usually preceded by a 32-bit signed integer
     99 * denoting the number of items and sometimes also by another 32-bit
     100 * signed integer denoting the offset into the array.
     101 *
     102 * \section resultcodes Result codes
     103 *
     104 * The first byte of the reply message to each command is a result
     105 * code. If the command could be executed properly, it is RESULT_OK
     106 * followed by the results of the command if any, otherwise it is
     107 * another code signifying some error. Most error codes are followed
     108 * by no further data, but \ref RESULT_UNKNOWN_DATAREF may be followed by
     109 * an index if a multi-dataref request is issued.
     110 *
     111 * The table summarizes the error codes:
     112 *
     113 * Meaning | Value | Constant name
     114 * ------- | ----- | -------------
     115 * Success, everything is OK | 0x00 | \anchor RESULT_OK RESULT_OK

     122 * Invalid ID | 0x07 | \anchor RESULT_INVALID_ID RESULT_INVALID_ID
     123 * Invalid duration | 0x08 | \anchor RESULT_INVALID_DURATION RESULT_INVALID_DURATION
     124 * Other error | 0xff | \anchor RESULT_OTHER_ERROR RESULT_OTHER_ERROR
     125 *
     126 * \section limits Limits
     127 *
     128 * Certain parameters have limits, which are summarized in the
     129 * following table:
     130 *
     131 * Description | Limit
     132 * ------- | -----
     133 * maximal number of array items | 2048
     134 * maximal number of datarefs in a multi-dataref operation | 1024
     135 * maximal duration of a message | 5 minutes
     136 * maximal number of hotkeys that can be registered | 128
     137 *
    65138 * \section commands Commands
    66139 *
    67140 * This section describes the commands of the protocol with their
    68  * parameters and the possible replies.
    69  *
    70  * \subsection command_get_single The GET_SINGLE command (0x01)
