* for what I mean but COLLATION_UNICODE_STRING would not give any special
* treatment to any characters at all, but this is speculation.
* COLLATION_NTOFS_ULONG - Sorting is done according to ascending le32 key
* values. E.g. used for $SII index in FILE_Secure, which sorts by
* security_id (le32).
* COLLATION_NTOFS_SID - Sorting is done according to ascending SID values.
* E.g. used for $O index in FILE_Extend/$Quota.
* COLLATION_NTOFS_SECURITY_HASH - Sorting is done first by ascending hash
* values and second by ascending security_id values. E.g. used for $SDH
* index in FILE_Secure.
* COLLATION_NTOFS_ULONGS - Sorting is done according to a sequence of ascending
* le32 key values. E.g. used for $O index in FILE_Extend/$ObjId, which
* sorts by object_id (16-byte), by splitting up the object_id in four
* le32 values and using them as individual keys. E.g. take the following
* two security_ids, stored as follows on disk:
* 1st: a1 61 65 b7 65 7b d4 11 9e 3d 00 e0 81 10 42 59
* 2nd: 38 14 37 d2 d2 f3 d4 11 a5 21 c8 6b 79 b1 97 45
* To compare them, they are split into four le32 values each, like so:
* 1st: 0xb76561a1 0x11d47b65 0xe0003d9e 0x59421081
* 2nd: 0xd2371438 0x11d4f3d2 0x6bc821a5 0x4597b179
* Now, it is apparent why the 2nd object_id collates after the 1st: the
* first le32 value of the 1st object_id is less than the first le32 of
* the 2nd object_id. If the first le32 values of both object_ids were
* equal then the second le32 values would be compared, etc.

* Attribute compression.
*
* Only the data attribute is ever compressed in the current ntfs driver in
* Windows. Further, compression is only applied when the data attribute is
* non-resident. Finally, to use compression, the maximum allowed cluster size
* on a volume is 4kib.
*
* The compression method is based on independently compressing blocks of X
* clusters, where X is determined from the compression_unit value found in the
* non-resident attribute record header (more precisely: X = 2^compression_unit
* clusters). On Windows NT/2k, X always is 16 clusters (compression_unit = 4).
*
* There are three different cases of how a compression block of X clusters
* can be stored:
*
* 1) The data in the block is all zero (a sparse block):
* This is stored as a sparse block in the runlist, i.e. the runlist
* entry has length = X and lcn = -1. The mapping pairs array actually
* uses a delta_lcn value length of 0, i.e. delta_lcn is not present at
* all, which is then interpreted by the driver as lcn = -1.
* NOTE: Even uncompressed files can be sparse on NTFS 3.0 volumes, then
* the same principles apply as above, except that the length is not
* restricted to being any particular value.
*
* 2) The data in the block is not compressed:
* This happens when compression doesn't reduce the size of the block
* in clusters. I.e. if compression has a small effect so that the
* compressed data still occupies X clusters, then the uncompressed data
* is stored in the block.
* This case is recognised by the fact that the runlist entry has
* length = X and lcn >= 0. The mapping pairs array stores this as
* normal with a run length of X and some specific delta_lcn, i.e.
* delta_lcn has to be present.
*
* 3) The data in the block is compressed:
* The common case. This case is recognised by the fact that the run
* list entry has length L < X and lcn >= 0. The mapping pairs array
* stores this as normal with a run length of X and some specific
* delta_lcn, i.e. delta_lcn has to be present. This runlist entry is
* immediately followed by a sparse entry with length = X - L and
* lcn = -1. The latter entry is to make up the vcn counting to the
* full compression block size X.
*
* In fact, life is more complicated because adjacent entries of the same type
* can be coalesced. This means that one has to keep track of the number of
* clusters handled and work on a basis of X clusters at a time being one
* block. An example: if length L > X this means that this particular runlist
* entry contains a block of length X and part of one or more blocks of length
* L - X. Another example: if length L < X, this does not necessarily mean that
* the block is compressed as it might be that the lcn changes inside the block
* and hence the following runlist entry describes the continuation of the
* potentially compressed block. The block would be compressed if the
* following runlist entry describes at least X - L sparse clusters, thus
* making up the compression block length as described in point 3 above. (Of
* course, there can be several runlist entries with small lengths so that the
* sparse entry does not follow the first data containing entry with
* length < X.)
*
* NOTE: At the end of the compressed attribute value, there most likely is not
* just the right amount of data to make up a compression block, thus this data
* is not even attempted to be compressed. It is just stored as is, unless
* the number of clusters it occupies is reduced when compressed in which case
* it is stored as a compressed compression block, complete with sparse
* clusters at the end.
