This one contains unneeded includes as comment.
and it uses unistd.h directly, you should use "system/filesys.h"
from libreplace instead.

I didn't noticed we already have a $got_relative variable there,
I think the real problem is that we didn't detect that relative pointers
are used...

We could fix that (maybe impossible because we reference types defined
in other idl files) or remove this check completely and always let the
caller pass in the not all flag (I'd prefer this one).

I'd like the callers to use keywords, something like this:
obj.ndr_unpack(blob, notall=true)
instead of obj.ndr_unpack(blob, true)
