  * Generate a structure with the same shape as Elf{32,64}_Nhdr (which
  * turn out to be the same size and shape), followed by the name and
- * desc data with appropriate padding.  The 'desc' argument includes
- * the assembler pseudo op defining the type of the data: .asciz
- * "hello, world"
+ * desc data with appropriate padding.  The 'desctype' argument is the
+ * assembler pseudo op defining the type of the data e.g. .asciz while
+ * 'descdata' is the data itself e.g.  "hello, world".
+ *
+ * e.g. ELFNOTE(XYZCo, 42, .asciz, "forty-two")
