+ * \brief Header/Payload demuxer.
+ * \ingroup digital
+ *
+ * This block is designed to handle packets from a bursty transmission.
+ * Input 0 takes a continuous transmission of samples.
+ * If used, input 1 is a trigger signal. In this case, a 1 on input 1
+ * is a trigger. Otherwise, a tag with the key specified in \p trigger_tag_key
+ * is used as a trigger (its value is irrelevant).
+ *
+ * Until a trigger signal is detected, all samples are dropped onto the floor.
+ * Once a trigger is detected, a total of \p header_len items are copied to output 0.
+ * The block then stalls until it receives a message on the message port
+ * \p header_data. The message must be a PMT dictionary; all key/value pairs are
+ * copied as tags to the first item of the payload (which is assumed to be the
+ * first item after the header).
+ * The value corresponding to the key specified in \p length_tag_key is read
+ * and taken as the payload length. The payload, together with the header data
+ * as tags, is then copied to output 1.
+ *
+ * If specified, \p guard_interval items are discarded before every symbol.
+ * This is useful for demuxing bursts of OFDM signals.
+ *
+ * Any tags on the input stream are copied to the corresponding output *if* they're
+ * on an item that is propagated. Note that a tag on the header items is copied to the
+ * header stream; that means the header-parsing block must handle these tags if they
+ * should go on the payload.
+ * A special case are tags on items that make up the guard interval. These are copied
+ * to the first item of the following symbol.
