Further information
1. A control code is represented by a 5bit integer (values 0 to 31) the interpretation of which is application-specific: the
bindrv library does not use these control tokens. They are usually used as markers to structure the data flow: it is up to the user to define appropriate conventions according to his needs.
2. When the data stream is coming from Mosel, the following control codes may be used — they correspond to the control characters employed in the standard Mosel ascii file format:
BINDRV_CTRL_SKIP
