     * \details
     * In a sense, this is the inverse block to packet_headergenerator_bb.
     * The difference is, the parsed header is not output as a stream,
     * but as a PMT dictionary, which is published to message port with
     * the id "header_data".
     *
     * The dictionary consists of the tags created by the header formatter
     * object. You should be able to use the exact same formatter object
     * as used on the Tx side in the packet_headergenerator_bb.
     *
     * If only a header length is given, this block uses the default header
     * format.
