Okay, here's some code I wrote [1], with the existing comment: /*------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; For the RR OPT, the class field is actually the size of the UDP payload, ; and the TTL field are a bunch of flags. We have a separate field for ; the UDP payload size, so here we make the adjustment behind the scenes ; so you don't have to know this crap. ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ if (answer->generic.type == RR_OPT) { answer->opt.class = answer->opt.udp_payload; answer->opt.ttl = ((data->rcode >> 4) & 0xFF) << 24 | (answer->opt.version & 0xFF) << 16 | (answer->opt.fdo ? 0x80 : 0x00) << 8 | htons(answer->opt.z & 0xFFFF) ; } I'd like to see how I could do away with the comment and make this more "self-documenting".
