<div class="textblock"><p>Header for a tape file metadata block containing file layout information. </p>
<p>This structure serves as the header for a TapeFileBlock, which documents all logical files present on the tape medium. The block consists of this fixed-size header followed by a variable-length array of <a class="el" href="structTapeFileEntry.html" title="Describes a single logical file on a tape medium.">TapeFileEntry</a> structures (one per file).</p>

</div><!-- fragment --><p><b>Purpose:</b> The tape file block enables:</p><ul>
<li>Quick lookup of file locations without scanning the entire tape</li>
<li>Validation of file boundaries and partition assignments</li>
<li>Random access to specific files in the image</li>
<li>Preservation of the original tape's logical organization</li>
<li>Documentation of tape structure for archival purposes</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Identifier Field:</b> The identifier field must be set to BlockType::TapeFileBlock to indicate this block type. This allows the Aaru format parser to recognize and correctly interpret the block during image loading.</p>
<p><b>Entry Count:</b> The entries field specifies the number of <a class="el" href="structTapeFileEntry.html" title="Describes a single logical file on a tape medium.">TapeFileEntry</a> structures that follow the header. A tape with no files would have entries=0, though this is unusual. Maximum value is 2^32-1 (4,294,967,295 files), though practical limits are much lower.</p>
<p><b>Block Length:</b> The length field contains the size in bytes of the data following this header (i.e., the array of <a class="el" href="structTapeFileEntry.html" title="Describes a single logical file on a tape medium.">TapeFileEntry</a> structures). This is calculated as: length = entries × sizeof(TapeFileEntry)</p>
<p>The header itself is NOT included in the length value. Total block size is: total_size = sizeof(TapeFileHeader) + length</p>
<p><b>CRC64 Checksum:</b> The crc64 field contains a CRC64-ECMA checksum computed over the entry data (the array of <a class="el" href="structTapeFileEntry.html" title="Describes a single logical file on a tape medium.">TapeFileEntry</a> structures, excluding this header). This provides integrity verification to detect corruption in the file table. The CRC is calculated using the ECMA polynomial.</p>
<p><b>File Order:</b> Entries should be ordered by partition number (ascending), then by file number (ascending) within each partition. This ordering facilitates efficient lookup and matches the physical organization of most tape formats.</p>
<p><b>Alignment:</b> When written to the Aaru image, this block is aligned to the image's block alignment boundary (typically 2^blockAlignmentShift bytes). Padding may be inserted before the block to achieve proper alignment.</p>
<p><b>Index Integration:</b> After writing this block to the image file, an <a class="el" href="structIndexEntry.html" title="Single index entry describing a block&#39;s type, (optional) data classification, and file offset.">IndexEntry</a> is created with:</p><ul>
<li>blockType = TapeFileBlock</li>
<li>dataType = 0 (tape file blocks have no subtype)</li>
<li>offset = file position where this header was written</li>
</ul>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>This block is optional. Tape images without file structure metadata can omit it, representing the tape as a simple linear sequence of blocks.</dd>
<dd>
If a tape has multiple partitions, files from all partitions are included in a single TapeFileBlock (distinguished by their Partition field).</dd>
<dd>
Empty tapes (no files) may still have a <a class="el" href="structTapeFileHeader.html" title="Header for a tape file metadata block containing file layout information.">TapeFileHeader</a> with entries=0, length=0, though such blocks are typically omitted.</dd></dl>
<dl class="section warning"><dt>Warning</dt><dd>The entries count must accurately reflect the number of <a class="el" href="structTapeFileEntry.html" title="Describes a single logical file on a tape medium.">TapeFileEntry</a> structures in the block. Mismatches will cause parsing errors.</dd>
<dd>
The CRC64 must be recalculated any time the entry data changes. Stale CRC values will cause integrity check failures.</dd></dl>
