<para>
The signature of a module is a set of prefixes. Prefixes are encoded as
-pairs of ordinary strings, where the second string, if not %NULL, must be
-of the same length as the first one and may contain ' ', '!', 'x', 'z',
-and 'n' to indicate bytes that must be matched, not matched,
-"don't-care"-bytes, zeros and non-zeros.
+pairs of ordinary strings, where the second string, called the mask, if
+not %NULL, must be of the same length as the first one and may contain
+' ', '!', 'x', 'z', and 'n' to indicate bytes that must be matched,
+not matched, "don't-care"-bytes, zeros and non-zeros.
Each prefix has an associated integer that describes the relevance of
the prefix, with 0 meaning a mismatch and 100 a "perfect match".

+Starting with &gdk-pixbuf; 2.8, the first byte of the mask may be '*',
+indicating an unanchored pattern that matches not only at the beginning,
+but also in the middle. Versions prior to 2.8 will interpret the '*'
+like an 'x'.
