+ * @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.
