+/**
+ * @file lldiskcache.h
+ * @brief The disk cache implementation declarations.
+ *
+ * @Description:
+ * This code implements a disk cache using the following ideas:
+ * 1/ The metadata for a file can be encapsulated in the filename.
+ The filenames will be composed of the following fields:
+ Prefix: Used to identify the file as a part of the cache.
+ An additional reason for using a prefix is that it
+ might be possible, either accidentally or maliciously
+ to end up with the cache dir set to a non-cache
+ location such as your OS system dir or a work folder.
+ Purging files from that would obviously be a disaster
+ so this is an extra step to help avoid that scenario.
+ ID: Typically the asset ID (UUID) of the asset being
+ saved but can be anything valid for a filename
+ Extra Info: A field for use in the future that can be used
+ to store extra identifiers - e.g. the discard
+ level of a JPEG2000 file
+ Asset Type: A text string created from the LLAssetType enum
+ that identifies the type of asset being stored.
+ .asset A file extension of .asset is used to help
+ identify this as a Viewer asset file
+ * 2/ The time of last access for a file can be updated instantly
+ * for file reads and automatically as part of the file writes.
+ * 3/ The purge algorithm collects a list of all files in the
+ * directory, sorts them by date of last access (write) and then
+ * deletes any files based on age until the total size of all
+ * the files is less than the maximum size specified.
+ * 4/ An LLSingleton idiom is used since there will only ever be
+ * a single cache and we want to access it from numerous places.
+ * 5/ Performance on my modest system seems very acceptable. For
+ * example, in testing, I was able to purge a directory of
+ * 10,000 files, deleting about half of them in ~ 1700ms. For
+ * the same sized directory of files, writing the last updated
+ * time to each took less than 600ms indicating that this
+ * important part of the mechanism has almost no overhead.
