33  * Definitions for fifolog "protocol": the on-media layout.
34  *
35  * The fifolog on-media record has three layers:
36  *   The outer timestamping and synchronization layer.
37  *   The zlib implemented data compression.
38  *   The inner sequencing and identification layer.
39  *
40  * All three layers are synchronized at a subset of the outer layer
41  * record boundaries, from where reading can be initiated.
42  *
43  *
44  * The outer layer:
45  * -----------------
46  * The first record in a fifolog contains a magic string and version
47  * information along with a 32be encoded recordsize for all records
48  * in the fifolog, including the first.
49  * The recordsize is explicit to avoid ambiguities when a media is
50  * moved from one machine to another.
51  *
52  * Each record in the fifolog has the following contents:
53  *	offset	type	contents
54  *      --------------------------------------------------------------
55  *	0	32be	sequence_number
56  *			The sequence number is randomly chosen for the
57  *			fifolog and increments once for each record written.
58  *			It's presence allow quick identification of the next
59  *			record to be written using a binary search for the
60  *			first place where a discontinuity in the sequence
61  *			numbers occur.
62  *	4	 8	flags (FIFOLOG_FLG_*)
63  *
64  * If (flags & (FIFOLOG_FLG_SYNC)) the record is a synchronization point
65  * at which the inner layers are aligned so that reading can be started
66  * at this point.
67  * To enable seeks into the file based on timestamps, a third field is
68  * present in these records as well:
69  *	5	32be	time_t containing POSIX's understanding of UTC.
70  *
71  * These fields are immediately followed by the inner layer payload as
72  * described below, which has variable length.
73  *
74  * If the inner layer payload is shorter than the available space in
75  * the record, it is padded with zero bytes, and the number of unused
76  * bytes, including the encoded length thereof is recorded at the end
77  * of the record as follows:
78  *
79  * If (flags & FIFOLOG_FLG_1BYTE)
80  *	n-1	8	number of unused bytes
81  * else if (flags & FIFOLOG_FLG_4BYTE)
82  *	n-4	32be	number of unused bytes
83  *
84  *
85  * The gzip layer
86  * --------------
87  * Is just output from zlib, nothing special here.  FIFOLOG_FLG_SYNC
88  * corresponds to Z_FINISH flags to zlib.
89  * In most cases, the timer will expire before zlib has filled an entire
90  * record in which case Z_SYNC_FLUSH will be used to force as much as
91  * possible into the buffer before it is written.  This is not marked
92  * in outer layer (apart from a natural correlation with padding) since
93  * zlibs data stream handles this without help.
94  *
95  *
96  * The inner layer:
97  * ----------------
98  * The inner layer contains data identification and to the second
99  * timestamping (the timestamp in the outer layer only marks the
100  * first possible timestamp for content in the SYNC record).
101  *
102  *	offset	type	contents
103  *      --------------------------------------------------------------
104  *	0	32be	ident
105  *
106  * The bottom 30 bits of the identification word are application defined,
107  * presently unused in the stand-alone fifolog tools, but used in the
108  * original "measured" application that originated the fifolog format.
109  * Should for instance syslogd(8) grow native support for fifolog format,
110  * it could store the message priority here.
111  *
112  * If (ident & FIFOLOG_TIMESTAMP) the record is prefixed by:
113  *	4	32be	time_t containing POSIX's understanding of UTC.
114  *
115  * Then follows the content, either as a NUL terminated string or as
116  * a length encoded binary sequence:
117  *
118  * If (ident & FIFOLOG_LENGTH) the record is prefixed by:
119  *	{0|4}	8	length of binary data
120  *
