Top-level 'allocation' component for updating files? #5

Closed LaylBongers closed 1 year ago

LaylBongers commented 1 year ago

Currently, managing free areas when writing new data to files, is delegated to formats and components to solve. This somewhat hurts interoperability. This isn't needed when reading files, as allocating new areas is never required there, but it may be beneficial to have a 'standard' sub-section allocation table for avoiding collisions between components.

As of version 0.2.0, capacity is included in headers, additional allocation is always assumed to be appending.
