The following names are defined for AAIP namespace "isofs." as mentioned in
specification of AAIP. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, numbers with
names like *_LEN are 8 bit unsigned integers, those with *_BYTES are 32 bit
unsigned integers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.ca

Purpose:
      Records the range of checksummed image data (START, END), the number
      of checksum items (COUNT), the number of bytes in a single checksum item
      (SIZE), and the name of the checksum algorithm (CHECKSUM_TYPE).
      END is also the block address of the start of the checksum recording
      area in the image.
      See also isofs.cx .
      This attribute shall be attached to the root directory entry
      and be global for the whole image.

Format of Value:
      START_LEN | START_BYTES | END_LEN | END_BYTES |
      COUNT_LEN | COUNT_BYTES | SIZE_LEN | SIZE_BYTES | CHECKSUM_TYPE
      Each number is encoded as _LEN byte and _BYTES value string.
      The _LEN fields comply to ISO 9660 Format section 7.1.1.
      The byte strings START_BYTES, END_BYTES, COUNT_BYTES, SIZE_BYTES begin
      with the most significant byte. Leading zero bytes are allowed.
      CHECKSUM_TYPE consists of the bytes after
      START_LEN + END_LEN + COUNT_LEN + SIZE_LEN + 4.
      It shall be a string of printable characters without terminating 0-byte.
      Type names shall be registered here.
      For now there is:
       "MD5"   128 bit message digest, see RFC 1321, see man md5sum 

Example:
      LBA range 32 to 1000000 , 520 checksums recorded, MD5 
      {   1,  32,
          3,  15,  66,  64,
          2,   2,   8,
          1,  16,
        'M', 'D', '5' }
      or
      {   4,   0,   0,   0,  32,
          4,   0,  15,  66,  64,
          4,   0,   0,   2,   8,
          1,  16,
         'M', 'D', '5' }

Name:
      isofs.cs

Purpose:
      Records the name of the character set that was used as output character
      set when writing the RRIP name tree of the ISO 9660 image. It shall be
      suitable as parameter for function iconv_open(3).
      This attribute shall be attached to the root directory entry and be
      global for the whole image.

Format of Value:
      Shall hold the character set name without terminating 0-byte.

Example:
      { 'I', 'S', 'O', '-', '8', '8', '5', '9' , '-', '1' }

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.cx

Purpose:
      Records the index of the file's checksum in the checksum area at the
      end of the image. The byte address of the checksum is 
       checksum_area_lba * 2048 + isofs.cx * checksum_size
      Default checksum algorithm is MD5 with a size of 16 byte.
      See also isofs.ca .

Format of Value:
      A byte string which begins with the most significant byte.

Example:
      Index 123456
      {   1, 226,  64 }

Registered:
      16 Jul 2009 by Thomas Schmitt for libisofs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.di

Purpose:
      Records .st_dev and .st_ino of struct stat of the file source in the
      local filesystem. See man 2 stat.
      Both values may be unsigned integers up to 255 bytes.

Format of Value:
      DEV_LEN | DEV_BYTES | INO_LEN | INO_BYTES
      The _LEN fields comply to ISO 9660 Format section 7.1.1.
      The byte strings begin with the most significant byte.

Example:
      Device number 2001, inode number 176343
      {   2,   7, 209,
          3,   2, 176, 215 }

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.hb

Purpose:
      Records the IsoHfsplusBlessings blessing of a IsoNode as defined
      in libisofs.h. At image load time, this info may be converted back
      into a relation between IsoImage and IsoNode so that it is available for
      the HFS+ writer when a new ISO 9660 / HFS+ image gets produced.

Format of Value:
      BLESSING
      This is a single byte out of {'p', 'i', 's', '9', 'x'} for
      ISO_HFSPLUS_BLESS_PPC_BOOTDIR, ISO_HFSPLUS_BLESS_INTEL_BOOTFILE,
      ISO_HFSPLUS_BLESS_SHOWFOLDER, ISO_HFSPLUS_BLESS_OS9_FOLDER,
      ISO_HFSPLUS_BLESS_OSX_FOLDER.

Example:
      { 'p' }

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.hx

Purpose:
      Records the iso_hfsplus_xinfo_data information as defined in libisofs.h.
      At image load time, this info may be converted back into an xinfo
      attachment for iso_hfsplus_xinfo_func so that it is available for
      the HFS+ writer when a new ISO 9660 / HFS+ image gets produced.

Format of Value:
      VERSION_LEN | VERSION | CREATOR | TYPE
      VERSION_LEN complies to ISO 9660 Format section 7.1.1.
      The byte string VERSION begins with the most significant byte.
      VERSION == 0 is the only one that is currently defined. It assures the
      existence of 4 bytes CREATOR and 4 bytes TYPE.
      Higher versions will keep these 8 bytes and possibly add new ones. 

Example:
      { 1, 0, 'Y', 'Y', 'D', 'N', 'T', 'E', 'X', 'T' }

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.nt

Purpose:
      Records the name truncation mode and the truncation length for Rock Ridge
      names. See iso_image_set_truncate_mode() in libisofs.h.
      This attribute shall be attached to the root directory entry and be
      global for the whole image.

Format of Value:
      MODE_LEN | MODE_BYTES | LENGTH_LEN | LENGTH_BYTES

Example:
      { 1, 1, 1, 255 }

Registered:
      24 Sep 2015 by Thomas Schmitt for libisofs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
      isofs.st

Purpose:
      Records a time point at least 1 second before any nodes were added to a
      freshly loaded or created ISO image. Nodes in the image which have
      younger timestamps are suspect to have changed their content during
      image production and might bear inconsistent content.
      The RRIP timestamps have a blind second during which a change after
      node registration would not be recognizable for incremental backups
      which are based in "isofs.di" rather than on content comparison.
      This attribute shall be attached to the root directory entry
      and be global for the whole image.

Format of Value:
      Shall hold UTC seconds since 1970 as decimal number string without
      terminating 0-byte.

Example:
      { '1', '2', '3', '8', '7', '4', '2', '2', '9', '6' }
