Sub-type annotation on binary attributes may indicate that the attribute
carries an array of simple types (also referred to as "C array" in docs).
Support rendering them as such in the C user code. For example for u32,
instead of:
struct {
u32 arr;
} _len;
void *arr;
render:
struct {
u32 arr;
} _count;
__u32 *arr;
Note that count is the number of elements while len was the length in bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
