    <title>Structure <structname>sip_msg</structname></title>
    <para>
	This is the most important structure in the whole server. This
	structure represents a <acronym>SIP</acronym> message. When a message
	is received, it is immediately converted into this structure and all
	operations are performed over the structure. After the server finished
	processing, this structure is converted back to character array buffer
	and the buffer is sent out.

	The following fields are set to zero if the corresponding header field
	was not found in the message or hasn't been parsed yet. (These fields
	are called hooks - they always point to the first occurrence if there
	is more than one header field of the same type).
