+Structure classes and instantiating structure objects
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Given structure descriptor and layout type, you can instantiate a
+"structure class" using uctypes.struct() factory function. From it,
+you can instantiate a specific structure instance at a given
+memory address. Memory address usually comes from following sources:
+
+* Predefined address, when accessing hardware registers on a baremetal
+port. Lookup these addresses in datasheet for a particular MCU/SoC.
+* As return value from a call to some FFI (Foreign Function Interface)
+function.
+* From uctypes.addressof(), when you want to pass arguments to FFI
+function, or alternatively, to access some data for I/O (for example,
+data read from file or network socket).
