4 | // Docker uses AUFS whiteout files inside exported archives. In other | |
5 | // filesystems these files are generated/handled on tar creation/extraction. | |

8 | // filename this means that file has been removed from the base layer. | |

11 | // WhiteoutMetaPrefix prefix means whiteout has a special meaning and is not | |
12 | // for removing an actual file. Normally these files are excluded from exported | |
13 | // archives. | |

16 | // WhiteoutLinkDir is a directory AUFS uses for storing hardlink links to other | |
17 | // layers. Normally these should not go into exported archives and all changed | |
18 | // hardlinks should be copied to the top layer. | |
