-/* Memory layout of a ziplist, containing "foo", "bar", "quux":
- * <zlbytes><zllen><len>"foo"<len>"bar"<len>"quux"
+/* The ziplist is a specially encoded dually linked list that is designed
+ * to be very memory efficient. It stores both strings and integer values,
+ * where integers are encoded as actual integers instead of a series of
+ * characters. It allows push and pop operations on either side of the list
+ * in O(1) time. However, because every operation requires a reallocation of
+ * the memory used by the ziplist, the actual complexity is related to the
+ * amount of memory used by the ziplist.
*
- * <zlbytes> is an unsigned integer to hold the number of bytes that
- * the ziplist occupies. This is stored to not have to traverse the ziplist
- * to know the new length when pushing.
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
- * <zllen> is the number of items in the ziplist. When this value is
- * greater than 254, we need to traverse the entire list to know
- * how many items it holds.
+ * ZIPLIST OVERALL LAYOUT:
+ * The general layout of the ziplist is as follows:
+ * <zlbytes><zltail><zllen><entry><entry><zlend>
*
- * <len> is the number of bytes occupied by a single entry. When this
- * number is greater than 253, the length will occupy 5 bytes, where
- * the extra bytes contain an unsigned integer to hold the length.
+ * <zlbytes> is an unsigned integer to hold the number of bytes that the
+ * ziplist occupies. This value needs to be stored to be able to resize the
+ * entire structure without the need to traverse it first.
+ *
+ * <zltail> is the offset to the last entry in the list. This allows a pop
+ * operation on the far side of the list without the need for full traversal.
+ *
+ * <zllen> is the number of entries.When this value is larger than 2**16-2,
+ * we need to traverse the entire list to know how many items it holds.
+ *
+ * <zlend> is a single byte special value, equal to 255, which indicates the
+ * end of the list.
+ *
+ * ZIPLIST ENTRIES:
+ * Every entry in the ziplist is prefixed by a header that contains two pieces
+ * of information. First, the length of the previous entry is stored to be
+ * able to traverse the list from back to front. Second, the encoding with an
+ * optional string length of the entry itself is stored.
+ *
+ * The length of the previous entry is encoded in the following way:
+ * If this length is smaller than 254 bytes, it will only consume a single
+ * byte that takes the length as value. When the length is greater than or
+ * equal to 254, it will consume 5 bytes. The first byte is set to 254 to
+ * indicate a larger value is following. The remaining 4 bytes take the
+ * length of the previous entry as value.
+ *
+ * The other header field of the entry itself depends on the contents of the
+ * entry. When the entry is a string, the first 2 bits of this header will hold
+ * the type of encoding used to store the length of the string, followed by the
+ * actual length of the string. When the entry is an integer the first 2 bits
+ * are both set to 1. The following 2 bits are used to specify what kind of
+ * integer will be stored after this header. An overview of the different
+ * types and encodings is as follows:
+ *
+ * |00pppppp| - 1 byte
+ * String value with length less than or equal to 63 bytes (6 bits).
+ * |01pppppp|qqqqqqqq| - 2 bytes
+ * String value with length less than or equal to 16383 bytes (14 bits).
+ * |10______|qqqqqqqq|rrrrrrrr|ssssssss|tttttttt| - 5 bytes
+ * String value with length greater than or equal to 16384 bytes.
+ * |1100____| - 1 byte
+ * Integer encoded as int16_t (2 bytes).
+ * |1101____| - 1 byte
+ * Integer encoded as int32_t (4 bytes).
+ * |1110____| - 1 byte
+ * Integer encoded as int64_t (8 bytes).
