+Serialized format
+=================
+
+The root signature will be serialized into a binary format and saved in 'RTS0'
+part of DXContainer.
+The binary format is a sequence of bytes that can be used to create a root 
+signature object in the Direct3D 12 API. The binary format is defined by the
+`D3D12_ROOT_SIGNATURE_DESC (for rootsig_1_0)
+<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d12/ns-d3d12-d3d12_root_signature_desc>`_
+or `D3D12_ROOT_SIGNATURE_DESC1 (for rootsig_1_1)
+<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d12/ns-d3d12-d3d12_root_signature_desc1>`_
+structure in the Direct3D 12 API. (With the pointers translated to offsets.)
+
+It will look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  namespace dxbc {
+    namespace SerializedRootSignature {
+      namespace v_1_0 {
+
+        struct DxilContainerDescriptorRange {

+        };
+      }
+

+        uint32_t Num32BitValues;
+      };
+
+      struct ContainerRootParameter {
+        uint32_t ParameterType;
+        uint32_t ShaderVisibility;
+        uint32_t PayloadOffset;
+      };
+
+      struct StaticSamplerDesc {
+        Filter Filter = Filter::ANISOTROPIC;
+        TextureAddressMode AddressU = TextureAddressMode::Wrap;
+        TextureAddressMode AddressV = TextureAddressMode::Wrap;
+        TextureAddressMode AddressW = TextureAddressMode::Wrap;
+        float MipLODBias = 0.f;
+        uint32_t MaxAnisotropy = 16;
+        ComparisonFunc ComparisonFunc = ComparisonFunc::LessEqual;
+        StaticBorderColor BorderColor = StaticBorderColor::OpaqueWhite;
+        float MinLOD = 0.f;
+        float MaxLOD = MaxLOD;
+        uint32_t ShaderRegister;
+        uint32_t RegisterSpace = 0;
+        ShaderVisibility ShaderVisibility = ShaderVisibility::All;
+      };
+
+      struct ContainerRootSignatureDesc {
+        uint32_t Version;
+        uint32_t NumParameters;
+        uint32_t RootParametersOffset;
+        uint32_t NumStaticSamplers;
+        uint32_t StaticSamplersOffset;
+        uint32_t Flags;
+      };
+    }
+  }
+
+
+The binary representation begins with a **ContainerRootSignatureDesc**
+object.
+
+The object is followed by an array of **ContainerRootParameter** objects
+located at **ContainerRootSignatureDesc::RootParametersOffset**, which
+corresponds to the size of **ContainerRootSignatureDesc**.
+
+Next, there is an array of **StaticSamplerDesc** at
+**ContainerRootSignatureDesc::StaticSamplersOffset**.
+
+Following this, an array of **ContainerDescriptorRange** is presented,
+which encompasses the descriptor ranges for all
+**ContainerRootDescriptorTable** objects.
+
+Subsequently, a detailed object (**RootConstants**,
+**ContainerRootDescriptorTable**, or
+**ContainerRootDescriptor**, depending on the parameter
+type) for each **ContainerRootParameter** in the **ContainerRootParameter**
+array. With **ContainerRootParameter.PayloadOffset** pointing to the 
+detailed object.
+
+In cases where the detailed object is a **ContainerRootDescriptorTable**,
+**ContainerRootDescriptorTable.DescriptorRangesOffset** will point to an array
+of **ContainerDescriptorRange**.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    #define RS "RootFlags( ALLOW_INPUT_ASSEMBLER_INPUT_LAYOUT | " \
+              "DENY_VERTEX_SHADER_ROOT_ACCESS), " \
+              "CBV(b0, space = 1, flags = DATA_STATIC), " \

+              "                 UAV(u1, numDescriptors = unbounded, " \
+              "                     flags = DESCRIPTORS_VOLATILE)), " \

+    float4 main(float4 coord : COORD) : SV_Target
+    {
+    …
+    }
+
+
+The layout could be look like this for the MyRS in above example:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  struct SerializedRS {
+    ContainerRootSignatureDesc RSDesc;
+    ContainerRootParameter  rootParameters[6];
+    StaticSamplerDesc  samplers[2];
+
+    ContainerDescriptorRange ranges[3];
+
+    // Extra part for each RootParameter in rootParameters.
+    // RootConstants/RootDescriptorTable/RootDescriptor dependent on ParameterType.
+
+    struct {
+
+      ContainerRootDescriptor b0;
+
+      ContainerRootDescriptor t1;
+
+      ContainerRootDescriptor u1;
+
+      ContainerRootDescriptorTable tab0; // tab0.DescriptorRangesOffset points to ranges[0]
+                                    // tab0.NumDescriptorRanges = 2
+
+      ContainerRootDescriptorTable tab1; // tab1.DescriptorRangesOffset points to ranges[2]
+                                    // tab1.NumDescriptorRanges = 1
+
+      RootConstants b10;
+
+    };
+
+
+  };
