+; NASM provides built-in macros STRUC and ENDSTRUC for structure definition.
+; For example, to define a structure called mytype containing a longword,
+; a word, a byte and a string of bytes, you might code
+;
+; struc mytype
+;
+; mt_long: resd 1
+; mt_word: resw 1
+; mt_byte: resb 1
+; mt_str: resb 32
+;
+; endstruc
+;
+; Below macros are help to map the C types and the RESB family of pseudo-instructions.
+; So that the above structure definition can be coded as
+;
+; struc mytype
+;
+; mt_long: CTYPE_UINT32 1
+; mt_word: CTYPE_UINT16 1
+; mt_byte: CTYPE_UINT8 1
+; mt_str: CTYPE_CHAR8 32
+;
+; endstruc
