"""An Entry in the section
An entry corresponds to a single node in the device-tree description
of the section. Each entry ends up being a part of the final section.
Entries can be placed either right next to each other, or with padding
between them. The type of the entry determines the data that is in it.
This class is not used by itself. All entry objects are subclasses of
Entry.
Attributes:
section: Section object containing this entry
node: The node that created this entry
offset: Offset of entry within the section, None if not known yet (in
which case it will be calculated by Pack())
size: Entry size in bytes, None if not known
pre_reset_size: size as it was before ResetForPack(). This allows us to
keep track of the size we started with and detect size changes
uncomp_size: Size of uncompressed data in bytes, if the entry is
compressed, else None
contents_size: Size of contents in bytes, 0 by default
align: Entry start offset alignment relative to the start of the
containing section, or None
align_size: Entry size alignment, or None
align_end: Entry end offset alignment relative to the start of the
containing section, or None
pad_before: Number of pad bytes before the contents when it is placed
in the containing section, 0 if none. The pad bytes become part of
the entry.
pad_after: Number of pad bytes after the contents when it is placed in
the containing section, 0 if none. The pad bytes become part of
the entry.
data: Contents of entry (string of bytes). This does not include
padding created by pad_before or pad_after. If the entry is
compressed, this contains the compressed data.
uncomp_data: Original uncompressed data, if this entry is compressed,
else None
compress: Compression algoithm used (e.g. 'lz4'), 'none' if none
orig_offset: Original offset value read from node
orig_size: Original size value read from node
missing: True if this entry is missing its contents
allow_missing: Allow children of this entry to be missing (used by
subclasses such as Entry_section)
external: True if this entry contains an external binary blob
