- * @struct sqfs_xattr_reader_t
- *
- * @brief Abstracts read access to extended attributes in a SquashFS filesystem
- *
- * SquashFS stores extended attributes using multiple levels of indirection.
- * First of all, the key-value pairs of each inode (that has extended
- * attributes) are deduplicated and stored consecutively in meta data blocks.
- * Furthermore, a value can be stored out-of-band, i.e. it holds a reference to
- * another location from which the value has to be read.
- *
- * For each unique set of key-value pairs, a descriptor object is generated
- * that holds the location of the first pair, the number of pairs and the total
- * size used on disk. The array of descriptor objects is stored in multiple
- * meta data blocks. Each inode that has extended attributes holds a 32 bit
- * index into the descriptor array.
- *
- * The third layer of indirection is yet another table that points to the
- * locations of the previous two tables. Its location is in turn stored in
- * the super block.
- *
- * The sqfs_xattr_reader_t data structure takes care of the low level details
- * of loading and parsing the data.
- *
- * After creating an instance using @ref sqfs_xattr_reader_create, simply call
- * @ref sqfs_xattr_reader_load_locations to load and parse all of the location
- * tables. Then use @ref sqfs_xattr_reader_get_desc to resolve a 32 bit index
- * from an inode to a descriptor structure. Use @ref sqfs_xattr_reader_seek_kv
- * to point the reader to the start of the key-value pairs and the call
- * @ref sqfs_xattr_reader_read_key and @ref sqfs_xattr_reader_read_value
- * consecutively to read and decode each key-value pair.
