-# Proof-of-concept/reference decoder for LBS-format backup snapshots.
-#
-# This decoder aims to decompress an LBS snapshot. It is not meant to be
-# particularly efficient, but should be a small and portable tool for doing so
-# (important for recovering from data loss). It is also meant to serve as a
-# check on the snapshot tool and data format itself, and serve as documentation
-# for the format.
-#
-# This decoder does not understand TAR archives; it assumes that all segments
-# in the snapshot have already been decompressed, and that objects are
-# available simply as files in the filesystem. This simplifies the design.
-#
-# Limitations: Since this code is probably using 32-bit arithmetic, files
-# larger than 2-4 GB may not be properly handled.

-############################ CHECKSUM VERIFICATION ############################
-# A very simple layer for verifying checksums. Checksums may be used on object
-# references directly, and can also be used to verify entire reconstructed
-# files.
-#
-# A checksum to verify is given in the form "algorithm=hexdigest". Given such
-# a string, we can construct a "verifier" object. Bytes can be incrementally
-# added to the verifier, and at the end a test can be made to see if the
-# checksum matches. The caller need not know what algorithm is used. However,
-# at the moment we only support SHA-1 for computing digest (algorith name
-# "sha1").
