Please don't use 'astring' in new code, as it's not valid NDR.

I also guess we want to use utf8.

For mandatory values use this:

[charset(UTF8),string] uint8 var[]

For optional values this:

[charset(UTF8),string] uint8 *var

> +	typedef [public] struct {
> +		NTSTATUS status;
> +		uint32 count;
> +		[size_is(count)] pcap_printer printers[];
> +	} pcap_data;
> +}

That's only use between two processes of the same smbd binary, right?
Otherwise it would make sense to introduce some kind of version
similar to xattr_NTACL.
