header is a bit confusing here, does it mean we give and ID and we got
something more than just a data as summary above suggests?

In such case summary and this text should clarify what exactly we get
and layout of the data. Since this is a pointer, who is responsible of
checking out-of-boundary accesses? For instance, if the parameters are
variadic by length the length should be returned as well. Otherwise it
should be specified as a constant somewhere, right?

It sounds like a candidate for struct_size() from overflow.h.
I.o.w. check that header and come up with the best what can
suit your case.
