* Callback fields of the destination structure must be initialized by caller.
* All other fields will be initialized by this function.
*
* Example usage:
* MyMessage msg = {};
* uint8_t buffer[64];
* pb_istream_t stream;
*
* // ... read some data into buffer ...
*
* stream = pb_istream_from_buffer(buffer, count);

* the decoding process:
*
* PB_DECODE_NOINIT: Do not initialize the fields to default values.
* This is slightly faster if you do not need the default
* values and instead initialize the structure to 0 using
* e.g. memset(). This can also be used for merging two
* messages, i.e. combine already existing data with new
* values.
*
* PB_DECODE_DELIMITED: Input message starts with the message size as varint.
* Corresponds to parseDelimitedFrom() in Google's
* protobuf API.
*
* PB_DECODE_NULLTERMINATED: Stop reading when field tag is read as 0. This allows
* reading null terminated messages.
* NOTE: Until nanopb-0.4.0, pb_decode() also allows
* null-termination. This behaviour is not supported in
* most other protobuf implementations, so PB_DECODE_DELIMITED
* is a better option for compatibility.
*
* Multiple flags can be combined with bitwise or (| operator)
