/*
* Borg cache synchronizer,
* high level interface.
*
* These routines parse msgpacked item metadata and update a HashIndex
* with all chunks that are referenced from the items.
*
* This file only contains some initialization and buffer management.
*
* The parser is split in two parts, somewhat similar to lexer/parser combinations:
*
* unpack_template.h munches msgpack and calls a specific callback for each object
* encountered (e.g. beginning of a map, an integer, a string, a map item etc.).
*
* unpack.h implements these callbacks and uses another state machine to
* extract chunk references from it.
