+/* Befs B+tree structure:
+ * 
+ * The first thing in the tree is the tree superblock. It tells you
+ * all kinds of useful things about the tree, like where the rootnode
+ * is located, and the size of the nodes (always 1024 with current version
+ * of BeOS).
+ *
+ * The rest of the tree consists of a series of nodes. Nodes contain a header
+ * (struct befs_btree_nodehead), the packed key data, an array of shorts 
+ * containing the ending offsets for each of the keys, and an array of
+ * befs_off_t values. In interior nodes, the keys are the ending keys for 
+ * the childnode they point to, and the values are offsets into the 
+ * datastream containing the tree. 
+ */
+
+/* Note:
+ * 
+ * The book states 2 confusing things about befs b+trees. First, 
+ * it states that the overflow field of node headers is used by internal nodes
+ * to point to another node that "effectively continues this one". Here is what
+ * I believe that means. Each key in internal nodes points to another node that
+ * contains key values less than itself. Inspection reveals that the last key 
+ * in the internal node is not the last key in the index. Keys that are 
+ * greater than the last key in the internal node go into the overflow node. 
+ * I imagine there is a performance reason for this.
+ *
+ * Second, it states that the header of a btree node is sufficient to 
+ * distinguish internal nodes from leaf nodes. Without saying exactly how. 
+ * After figuring out the first, it becomes obvious that internal nodes have
+ * overflow nodes and leafnodes do not.
+ */

+ * Currently, this code is only good for directory B+trees.
