Most of the string smarts in Samba 3.0 are in the following two
functions:
The base_ptr provides access to the base SMB packet, both for
the FLAGS2_UNICODE_STRINGS flag and string alignment.
The flags parameter tells the functions what type of string
this field in the protocol uses. Possible flags include STR_TERMINATE,
STR_UNICODE, STR_ASCII and STR_NOALIGN. None of these flags should
really be necessary if the protocol had a consistent string format,
but unfortunately it doesn't.

int push_string(const void *base_ptr, void *dest, const char *src,
int dest_len, int flags);
int pull_string(const void *base_ptr, char *dest, const void *src,
int dest_len, int src_len, int flags);
These two functions are the entry points to the code used to parse or
construct strings in SMB packets.
