7// A block file is a file designed to store blocks of data of a given size. It
8// is able to store data that spans from one to four consecutive "blocks", and
9// it grows as needed to store up to approximately 65000 blocks. It has a fixed
10// size header used for book keeping such as tracking free of blocks on the
11// file. For example, a block-file for 1KB blocks will grow from 8KB when
12// totally empty to about 64MB when completely full. At that point, data blocks
13// of 1KB will be stored on a second block file that will store the next set of
14// 65000 blocks. The first file contains the number of the second file, and the
15// second file contains the number of a third file, created when the second file
16// reaches its limit. It is important to remember that no matter how long the
17// chain of files is, any given block can be located directly by its address,
18// which contains the file number and starting block inside the file.

66// Sparse data support:
67// We keep a two level hierarchy to enable sparse data for an entry: the first
68// level consists of using separate "child" entries to store ranges of 1 MB,
69// and the second level stores blocks of 1 KB inside each child entry.
70//
71// Whenever we need to access a particular sparse offset, we first locate the
72// child entry that stores that offset, so we discard the 20 least significant
73// bits of the offset, and end up with the child id. For instance, the child id
74// to store the first megabyte is 0, and the child that should store offset
75// 0x410000 has an id of 4.
76//
77// The child entry is stored the same way as any other entry, so it also has a
78// name (key). The key includes a signature to be able to identify children
79// created for different generations of the same resource. In other words, given
80// that a given sparse entry can have a large number of child entries, and the
81// resource can be invalidated and replaced with a new version at any time, it
82// is important to be sure that a given child actually belongs to certain entry.
83//
84// The full name of a child entry is composed with a prefix ("Range_"), and two
85// hexadecimal 64-bit numbers at the end, separated by semicolons. The first
86// number is the signature of the parent key, and the second number is the child
87// id as described previously. The signature itself is also stored internally by
88// the child and the parent entries. For example, a sparse entry with a key of
89// "sparse entry name", and a signature of 0x052AF76, may have a child entry
90// named "Range_sparse entry name:052af76:4", which stores data in the range
91// 0x400000 to 0x4FFFFF.
92//
93// Each child entry keeps track of all the 1 KB blocks that have been written
94// to the entry, but being a regular entry, it will happily return zeros for any
95// read that spans data not written before. The actual sparse data is stored in
96// one of the data streams of the child entry (at index 1), while the control
97// information is stored in another stream (at index 2), both by parents and
98// the children.
99
100// This structure contains the control information for parent and child entries.
101// It is stored at offset 0 of the data stream with index 2.
102// It is possible to write to a child entry in a way that causes the last block
103// to be only partialy filled. In that case, last_block and last_block_len will
104// keep track of that block.
