+/**
+ * @struct sqfs_dir_writer_t
+ *
+ * @brief Abstracts generating of directory entries
+ *
+ * SquashFS stores directory entries and inodes seperated from each other. The
+ * inodes are stored in a series of meta data blocks before another series of
+ * meta data blocks that contain the directory entries. Directory inodes point
+ * to meta data block (and offset) where its contents are listed and the
+ * entries in turn point back to the inodes that represent them.
+ *
+ * There are some rules to this. Directory entries have to be written in
+ * ASCIIbetical ordering. Up to 256 entries are preceeded by a header. The
+ * entries use delta encoding for inode numbers and block locations relative to
+ * the header, so every time the inodes cross a meta data block boundary, if
+ * the difference in inode number gets too large, or if the entry count would
+ * exceed 256, a new header has to be emitted. Even if the inode pointed to is
+ * an extended type, the entry in the header still has to indicate the base
+ * type.
+ *
+ * In addtion to that, extended directory inodes can contain an index for
+ * faster lookup. The index points to each header and requires a new header to
+ * be emitted if the entries cross a block boundary.
+ *
+ * The dir writer takes care of all of this and provides a simple interface for
+ * adding entries. Internally it fills data into a meta data writer and
+ * generates an index that it can, on request, write to another meta data
+ * writer used for inodes.
