 \section StoreSwapMeta Store "swap meta" Description
 \par
 * "swap meta" refers to a section of meta data stored at the beginning
 * of an object that is stored on disk.  This meta data includes information
 * such as the object's cache key (MD5), URL, and part of the StoreEntry
 * structure.
 *
 \par
 * The meta data is stored using a TYPE-LENGTH-VALUE format.  That is,
 * each chunk of meta information consists of a TYPE identifier, a
 * LENGTH field, and then the VALUE (which is LENGTH octets long).
