  18  * An lttng_payload_view references a payload and allows code to share
  19  * a `const` version of a subset of a payload.
  20  *
  21  * A payload view is invalidated whenever its source (a payload, or another
  22  * payload view) is modified.
  23  *
  24  * While a payload view does not allow users to modify the underlying bytes
  25  * of the payload, it can be used to 'pop' file descriptor handles using an
  26  * iterator belonging to the top-level payload view.
  27  *
  28  * Hence, a payload view created from a payload or a dynamic buffer contains
  29  * an implicit file descriptor handle iterator. Any payload view created from
  30  * another payload view will share the same underlying file descriptor handle
  31  * iterator.
  32  *
  33  * The rationale for this is that a payload is never consumed directly, it must
  34  * be consumed through a payload view.
  35  *
  36  * Typically, a payload view will be used to rebuild a previously serialized
  37  * object hierarchy. Sharing an underlying iterator allows aggregate objects
  38  * to provide a restricted view of the payload to their members, which will
  39  * report the number of bytes consumed and `pop` the file descriptor handle they
  40  * should own. In return, those objects can create an even narrower view for
  41  * their children, allowing them to also consume file descriptor handles.
  42  *
  43  * Note that a payload view never assumes any ownership of the underlying
  44  * payload.
