Those types are representing messages on the wire ?

In that case those types aren't suitable. For example "long" will have
a different size and alignment for 32 and 64-bit userspace. There are
size-explicit userspace types available.

Also I didn't see any endianness annotations in there. Is that expected
? IE are those wire format packets ?

Cheers,
