it's been done this way to make parsing easier. Knowing the header is
always 30 chars long saves you from having to fiddle with it too much.

Definitely ASCII-blank. 0x00 doesn't work well with all these
printf-functions. I tested a solution with 0x00 instead of blanks, but
quickly ran into issues with the fancy string-handling-functions.
You'd basically have to do it char-by-char then and "reinvent" printf
or snprintf to a buffer and then manually swap out placeholders with
0x00.
