Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (12)

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of 14th parameter file has been changed from unsigned char to char.	Replacement of parameter base type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
2	Base type of 13th parameter sname has been changed from unsigned char to char.	Replacement of parameter base type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of 14th parameter file has been changed from unsigned char to char.	Replacement of parameter base type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
2	Base type of 13th parameter sname has been changed from unsigned char to char.	Replacement of parameter base type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter code has been changed from u_int8_t to uint8_t.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
2	Type of 4th parameter payload has been changed from u_int8_t* to uint8_t*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
3	Type of 5th parameter payload_s has been changed from u_int32_t to uint32_t.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
4	Type of 3rd parameter sum has been changed from u_int16_t to uint16_t.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
5	Type of 1st parameter type has been changed from u_int8_t to uint8_t.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	2nd parameter code has been renamed to reserved.	Renaming of a parameter may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter host_name has been changed from char* to char const*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 3rd parameter buf has been changed from uint8_t const* to void const*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
