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.
