/*! \defgroup diskcache LWS disk cache
* ## Disk cache API
*
* Lws provides helper apis useful if you need a disk cache containing hashed
* files and need to delete files from it on an LRU basis to keep it below some
* size limit.
*
* The API `lws_diskcache_prepare()` deals with creating the cache dir and
* 256 subdirs, which are used according to the first two chars of the hex
* hash of the cache file.
*
* `lws_diskcache_create()` and `lws_diskcache_destroy()` allocate and free
* an opaque struct that represents the disk cache.
*
* `lws_diskcache_trim()` should be called at eg, 1s intervals to perform the
* cache dir monitoring and LRU autodelete in the background lazily. It can
* be done in its own thread or on a timer... it monitors the directories in a
* stateful way that stats one or more file in the cache per call, and keeps
* a list of the oldest files as it goes. When it completes a scan, if the
* aggregate size is over the limit, it will delete oldest files first to try
* to keep it under the limit.
*
* The cache size monitoring is extremely efficient in time and memory even when
* the cache directory becomes huge.
*
* `lws_diskcache_query()` is used to determine if the file already exists in
* the cache, or if it must be created. If it must be created, then the file
* is opened using a temp name that must be converted to a findable name with
* `lws_diskcache_finalize_name()` when the generation of the file contents are
* complete. Aborted cached files that did not complete generation will be
* flushed by the LRU eventually. If the file already exists, it is 'touched'
* to make it new again and the fd returned.
*

* - LWS_DISKCACHE_QUERY_EXISTS: It exists in the cache. It's open RDONLY and
* *_fd has been set to the file descriptor. *extant_cache_len has been set
* to the size of the cached file in bytes. cache has been set to the
* full filepath of the cached file. Closing _fd is your responsibility.
* - LWS_DISKCACHE_QUERY_CREATING: It didn't exist, but a temp file has been

* - LWS_DISKCACHE_QUERY_ONGOING: not returned by this api, but you may find it
* desirable to make a wrapper function which can handle another asynchronous
* process that is already creating the cached file. This can be used to
* indicate that situation externally... how to determine the same thing is
* already being generated is out of scope of this api.
