+ * In unformatting the `function' will decode the encoded type and
+ * return it to `value' pointer. The decoding function should decide
+ * itself whether to allocate or not the decoded value.
+ *
+ * The `function' does not have to encode anything and passing `value'
+ * as NULL is allowed. The `function' could for example modify the
+ * existing buffer.
+ *
+ * EXAMPLE
+ *
+ * // Encode payload, encrypt and compute MAC.
+ * silc_buffer_format(buf,
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_encode_id, id, ctx),
+ * SILC_STR_UI_SHORT(len),
