 * A pointer in memory where KCDATA is allocated. The data should be pointing to

 *
 * @discussion
 * This function tries to parse one container. If it encounters sub containers
 * they will be parsed and collected within the same dictionary.
 * Other data type fields will also be parsed based on their type. The bytesParsed
 * param is populated with the number of bytes processed. With this return value the caller can
 * advance its buffer_read position as
 *   buffer = (kcdata_item_t)((uintptr_t)buffer + bytesParsed); //advance to next KCDATA_HEADER.
 * Note: Keep in mind that the next header may be KCDATA_TYPE_BUFFER_END.
 *
 * A sample usage call can be:
 * KCDATA_ITEM_FOREACH(buffer) {
 *     if(KCDATA_ITEM_TYPE(buffer) == KCDATA_TYPE_CONTAINER_BEGIN) {
 *         uint32_t container_size = 0;
