nut.txt says:
| back_ptr_div16 (v)
| back_ptr = back_ptr_div16 * 16 + 15
| back_ptr must point to a position within 16 bytes of a syncpoint
| startcode. [...]
Does "within 16 bytes" mean before or after the syncpoint startcode?
This description also doesn't mention that this value is relative.
I think the semantics were intended to be similar to syncpoint_pos_div16
in the index, so probably that description can be copied and adapted:
| syncpoint_pos_div16 (v)
| offset from beginning of file to up to 15 bytes before the syncpoint
| referred to in this index entry. Relative to position of last
| syncpoint.
