+   \brief pkgCache - Structure definitions for the cache file
+
+   The goal of the cache file is two fold:
+   Firstly to speed loading and processing of the package file array and
+   secondly to reduce memory consumption of the package file array.
+
+   The implementation is aimed at an environment with many primary package
+   files, for instance someone that has a Package file for their CD-ROM, a
+   Package file for the latest version of the distribution on the CD-ROM and a
+   package file for the development version. Always present is the information
+   contained in the status file which might be considered a separate package
+   file.
+
+   Please understand, this is designed as a <b>Cache file</b> it is not meant to be
+   used on any system other than the one it was created for. It is not meant to
+   be authoritative either, i.e. if a system crash or software failure occurs it
+   must be perfectly acceptable for the cache file to be in an inconsistent
+   state. Furthermore at any time the cache file may be erased without losing
+   any information.
+
+   Also the structures and storage layout is optimized for use by the APT
+   and may not be suitable for all purposes. However it should be possible
+   to extend it with associate cache files that contain other information.
+
+   To keep memory use down the cache file only contains often used fields and
+   fields that are inexpensive to store, the Package file has a full list of
+   fields. Also the client may assume that all items are perfectly valid and
+   need not perform checks against their correctness. Removal of information
+   from the cache is possible, but blanks will be left in the file, and
+   unused strings will also be present. The recommended implementation is to
+   simply rebuild the cache each time any of the data files change. It is
+   possible to add a new package file to the cache without any negative side
+   effects.
+
+   <b>Note on Pointer access</b>

    Clients should always use the CacheIterators classes for access to the

+   cache and the data in it. They also provide a simple STL-like method for
+   traversing the links of the datastructure.
+
+   Every item in every structure is stored as the index to that structure.
+   What this means is that once the files is mmaped every data access has to
+   go through a fix up stage to get a real memory pointer. This is done
+   by taking the index, multiplying it by the type size and then adding
+   it to the start address of the memory block. This sounds complex, but
+   in C it is a single array dereference. Because all items are aligned to
+   their size and indexes are stored as multiples of the size of the structure
+   the format is immediately portable to all possible architectures - BUT the
+   generated files are -NOT-.
+
+   This scheme allows code like this to be written:
+   <example>
+     void *Map = mmap(...);
+     Package *PkgList = (Package *)Map;
+     Header *Head = (Header *)Map;
+     char *Strings = (char *)Map;
+     cout << (Strings + PkgList[Head->HashTable[0]]->Name) << endl;
+   </example>
+   Notice the lack of casting or multiplication. The net result is to return
+   the name of the first package in the first hash bucket, without error
+   checks.
+
+   The generator uses allocation pools to group similarly sized structures in
+   large blocks to eliminate any alignment overhead. The generator also
+   assures that no structures overlap and all indexes are unique. Although
+   at first glance it may seem like there is the potential for two structures
+   to exist at the same point the generator never allows this to happen.
+   (See the discussion of free space pools)
+
+   See \ref pkgcachegen.h for more information about generating cache structures. */

                                                                        /*}}}*/
