Data Fields
uint32_t	head
	Head number the flux capture corresponds to. Typically 0 or 1 for double-sided media.
uint16_t	track
	Track number the flux capture corresponds to. Track numbering is format-dependent.
uint8_t	subtrack
	Subtrack number, allowing sub-stepping within a track. Used for fine positioning.
uint32_t	captureIndex
	Capture index, allowing multiple captures for the same location (e.g., multiple revolutions).
uint64_t	indexResolution
	Resolution in picoseconds at which the index stream was sampled.
uint64_t	dataResolution
	Resolution in picoseconds at which the data stream was sampled.
uint64_t	indexOffset
	Byte offset within the payload where the index buffer starts (equals data_length).
uint64_t	payloadOffset
	Block-aligned file offset where the DataStreamPayloadBlock containing this capture's data is stored, divided by (1 << blockAlignmentShift). To get the absolute offset, multiply by (1 << blockAlignmentShift) from FluxHeader.

Detailed Description

Metadata entry describing a single flux capture in the FluxDataBlock.

This structure describes one flux capture, including its location on the media, capture index, sampling resolutions, and file offsets to the payload data. Each FluxEntry corresponds to one DataStreamPayloadBlock containing the actual flux data.

Location Identification: The head, track, and subtrack fields identify the physical location on the media where the capture was taken. The captureIndex allows multiple captures for the same location (e.g., multiple revolutions of a floppy disk track).

Payload Access: The payloadOffset field points to the file offset where the corresponding DataStreamPayloadBlock is stored. The offset is stored divided by the block alignment (blockAlignmentShift from FluxHeader), consistent with DDT table offset storage. To convert to an absolute file offset, multiply by (1 << blockAlignmentShift). The indexOffset field indicates where the index buffer starts within the payload (the payload is stored as [data_buffer][index_buffer] concatenated).

Resolution: Both indexResolution and dataResolution are specified in picoseconds, indicating the precision of the timing measurements. These values are hardware-dependent and determine how accurately the flux transitions are represented.

Note

The combination of (head, track, subtrack, captureIndex) uniquely identifies a flux capture within an image.

The indexOffset equals the data_length, as the index buffer immediately follows the data buffer in the payload.
