-/* Encode/decode table:

- 4 vectors are used: ports, ints, offsets (off_t), and data (char);
- each type of store uses the following entries in each vector:
-
- -type- -ports- -ints- -offsets- -data- -kids-
- device DEVICE TY, FL, BS, NR, NL, ML NR * (OFFS, LEN) NL + ML -
- file FILE TY, FL, BS, NR, NL, ML NR * (OFFS, LEN) NL + ML -
- memory MEMOBJ TY, FL, BS, NR, NL, ML NR * (OFFS, LEN) NL + ML -
- task TASK TY, FL, BS, NR, NL, ML NR * (OFFS, LEN) NL + ML -
- (the data for the above is a name (incl '\0') and a misc data block)
- null - TY, FL LEN - -
- (BS is 1)
- ileave - TY, FL, IL, NC - - NC
- (BS is the LCM of its children; LEN is the minimum of theirs * IL)
- concat - TY, FL, NC - - NC
- (BS is the LCM of its children; LEN is the sum of theirs)
- layer - TY, FL, NC - - NC
- (BS is the LCM of its children; LEN is the minimum of theirs)
-
- For ileave, concat, and layer, the children are encoded following the parent.
- The first int must always be TY.

- key: TY = type code, FL = flags, BS = block size, NR = num runs,
- NL = name len, ML = misc len, NC = num children,
- IL = interleave (bytes),
