+ * ==================
+ * Native Message API
+ * ==================
+ *
+ * -----------------------
+ * Defining A New Message:
+ * -----------------------
+ *
+ * 1) Start with `struct mgmt_msg_header` as the first (unnamed) field.
+ *
+ * 2) Add fixed-width fields. Add on natural aligned boundaries (*)
+ *
+ * 3) [Optional] Add a zero-length variable field. Add aligned on a 64-bit
+ * boundary, this is done so that: `value = (HDR + 1)` works.
+ *
+ * 4) Define a new MTYPE for the new message type (see DECLARE_MTYPE below
+ * as well as the paired DEFINE_MTYPE in mgmt_msg_native.c)
+ *
+ * These rules are so the messages may be read from and written directly to
+ * "the wire", easily, using common programming languages (e.g., C, rust, go,
+ * python, ...)
+ *
+ * (*) Natrual aligned boundaries, i.e., uint16_t on 2-byte boundary, uint64_t
+ * on 8-byte boundaries, ...)
+ *
+ * ------------------------------
+ * Allocating New Native Messages
+ * ------------------------------
+ *
+ * For fixed-length and variable length messages one should allocate new
+ * messages with the mgmt_msg_native_alloc_msg() passing in the newly defined
+ * MTYPE. Likewise, to free the message one should use
+ * mgmt_msg_native_free_msg().
+ *
+ * Unknown Variable Length Messages:
+ * ---------------------------------
+ *
+ * If using a zero-length variable length field and the length is not known at
+ * message creation time, you can use the `native` API function
+ * mgmt_msg_native_append() to add data to the end of the message, or if a more
+ * full set of operations are required, the darr_xxxx() API is also available as
+ * in the Advanced section below.
+ *
+ * Notable API Functions:
+ * ---------------------------------
+ *
+ * mgmt_msg_native_alloc_msg() - Allocate a native msg.
+ * mgmt_msg_native_free_msg() - Free a native msg.
+ * mgmt_msg_native_append() - Append data to the end of the msg.
+ * mgmt_msg_native_get_msg_len() - Get the total length of the msg.
+ * mgmt_msg_native_send_msg() - Send the message.
+ *
+ *
+ * -------------------------------------
+ * [Advanced Use] Dynamic Array Messages
+ * -------------------------------------
+ *
+ * NOTE: Most users can simply use mgmt_msg_native_append() and skip this
+ * section.
+ *
+ * This section is only important to understand if you wish to utilize the fact
+ * that native messages allocated with mgmt_msg_native_alloc_msg are
+ * actually allocated as uint8_t dynamic arrays (`darr`).
+ *
+ * You can utilize all the darr_xxxx() API to manipulate the variable length
+ * message data in a native message. To do so you simply need to understand that
+ * the native message is actually a `uint8_t *` darr. So, for example, to append
+ * data to the end of a message one could do the following:
+ *
+ * void append_metric_path(struct mgmt_msg_my_msg *msg)
+ * {
+ * msg = (struct mggm_msg_my_msg *)
+ * darr_strcat((uint8_t *)msg, "/metric");
+ *
+ * // ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * NOTE: If reallocs happen the original passed in pointer will be updated;
+ * however, any other pointers into the message will become invalid, and so they
+ * should always be discarded or reinitialized after using any reallocating
+ * darr_xxx() API functions.
+ *
+ * void append_metric_path(struct mgmt_msg_my_msg *msg)
+ * {
+ * char *xpath = msg->xpath; // pointer into message
+ *
+ * darr_in_strcat((uint8_t *)msg, "/metric");
+ * // msg may have been updated to point at new memory
+ *
+ * xpath = NULL; // now invalid
+ * xpath = msg->xpath; // reinitialize
+ * // ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * Rather than worry about this, it's typical when using dynamic arrays to always
+ * work from the main pointer to the dynamic array, rather than caching multiple
+ * pointers into the data. Modern compilers will optimize the code so that it
+ * adds no extra execution cost.
+ *
+ * void append_metric_path(struct mgmt_msg_my_msg *msg)
+ * {
+ * darr_in_strcat((uint8_t *)msg, "/metric");
+ *
+ * // Use `msg->xpath` directly rather creating and using an
+ * // `xpath = msg->xpath` local variable.
+ *
+ * if (strcmp(msg->xpath, "foobar/metric")) {
+ * // ...
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
