Thanks for the review, and congrats on the 0.9 release! I've taken most of your suggestions and also added some shiny new little-endian bit fields to parse various flag fields. |

@generalmimon just in case you missed my last push, this should be ready to review again now with all comments addressed. No rush, though! |

The metadata stored by Android at the beginning of a "super" partition, which is what it calls a disk partition that holds one or more Dynamic Partitions. Dynamic Partitions do more or less the same thing that LVM does on Linux, allowing Android to map ranges of non-contiguous extents to a single logical device. This metadata holds that mapping.

sample.zip contains a sample file (
super_truncated.img) that I obtained by extracting only the header portion of a "super" partition provided as part of an official Android emulator image.
