36 /* The blob functions implement a simple, low-level API for serializing and
39 * All objects written to a blob will be serialized directly, (without any
40 * additional meta-data to describe the data written). Therefore, it is the
41 * caller's responsibility to ensure that any data can be read later, (either
42 * by knowing exactly what data is expected, or by writing to the blob
43 * sufficient meta-data to describe what has been written).
45 * A blob is efficient in that it dynamically grows by doubling in size, so
46 * allocation costs are logarithmic.
