+This program generates marshalling code for message types defined in proto.go .
+For every type 4 methods are generated in accordance with neo.Msg interface:
 
-	NEOPktMsgCode() uint16
-	NEOPktEncodedLen() int
-	NEOPktEncode(buf []byte)
-	NEOPktDecode(data []byte) (nread int, err error)
+	NEOMsgCode() uint16
+	NEOMsgEncodedLen() int
+	NEOMsgEncode(buf []byte)
+	NEOMsgDecode(data []byte) (nread int, err error)
 
-List of packet types is obtained via searching through proto.go AST - looking
+List of message types is obtained via searching through proto.go AST - looking
 for appropriate struct declarations there.
 
 Code generation for a type is organized via recursively walking through type's
