+ * Definitions for fifolog "protocol": the on-media layout.
+ *
+ * The fifolog on-media record has three layers:
+ * The outher timestamping and synchronization layer.
+ * The zlib implemented data compression
+ * The inner sequencing and identification layer.
+ *
+ * All three layers are synchronized at a subset of the outher layer
+ * record boundaries, from where reading can be initiated.
+ *
+ *
+ * The outher layer:
+ * -----------------
+ * The first record in a fifolog contains a magic string and version
+ * information along with a 32be encoded recordsize for all records
+ * in the fifolog, including the first.
+ * The recordsize is explicit to avoid ambiguities when a media is
+ * moved from one machine to another.
+ *
+ * Each record in the fifolog has the following contents:
+ * offset type contents
+ * --------------------------------------------------------------
+ * 0 32be sequence_number
+ * The sequence number is randomly chosen for the
+ * fifolog and increments once for each record written.
+ * It's precense allow quick identification of the next
+ * record to be written using a binary search for the
+ * first place where a discontinuity in the sequence
+ * numbers occur.
+ * 4 8 flags (FIFOLOG_FLG_*)
+ *
+ * If (flags & (FIFOLOG_FLG_SYNC)) the record is a synchronization point
+ * at which the inner layers are aligned so that reading can be started
+ * at this point.
+ * To enable seeks into the file based on timestamps, a third field is
+ * present in these records as well:
+ * 5 32be time_t containing POSIX's understanding of UTC.
+ *
+ * These fields are immediately followed by the inner layer payload as
+ * described below, which has variable length.
+ *
+ * If the inner layer payload is shorter than the available space in
+ * the record, it is padded with zero bytes, and the number of unused
+ * bytes, including the encoded length thereof is recorded at the end
+ * of the record as follows:
+ *
+ * If (flags & FIFOLOG_FLG_1BYTE)
+ * n-1 8 number of unused bytes
+ * else if (flags & FIFOLOG_FLG_4BYTE)
+ * n-4 32be number of unused bytes
+ *
+ *
+ * The gzip layer
+ * --------------
+ * Is just output from zlib, nothing special here. FIFOLOG_FLG_SYNC
+ * corresponds to Z_FINISH flags to zlib.
+ * In most cases, the timer will expire before zlib has filled an entire
+ * record in which case Z_SYNC_FLUSH will be used to force as much as
+ * possible into the buffer before it is written. This is not marked
+ * in outher layer (apart from a natural correlation with padding) since
+ * zlibs data stream handles this without help.
+ *
+ *
+ * The inner layer:
+ * ----------------
+ * The inner layer contains data indentification and to the second
+ * timestamping (the timestamp in the outherlayer only marks the
+ * first possible timestamp for content in the SYNC record).
+ *
+ * offset type contents
+ * --------------------------------------------------------------
+ * 0 32be ident
+ *
+ * The bottom 30 bits of the identification word are application defined,
+ * presently unused in the stand-alone fifolog tools, but used in the
+ * original "measured" application that originated the fifolog format.
+ * Should for instance syslogd(8) grow native support for fifolog format,
+ * it could store the message priority here.
+ *
+ * If (ident & FIFOLOG_TIMESTAMP) the record is prefixed by:
+ * 4 32be time_t containing POSIX's understanding of UTC.
+ *
+ * Then follows the content, either as a NUL terminated string or as
+ * a lenght encoded binary sequence:
+ *
+ * If (ident & FIFOLOG_LENGTH) the record is prefixed by:
+ * {0|4} 8 length of binary data
+ *
