The mtree format is a textual format that describes a collection of
filesystem objects. Such files are typically used to create or verify
directory heirarchies.
An mtree file consists of a series of lines, each providing information
about a single filesystem object. Leading whitespace is always ignored.
When encoding file or pathnames, any backslash character or character
outside of the 95 printable ASCII characters must be encoded as a a back-
slash followed by three octal digits. When reading mtree files, any
appearance of a backslash followed by three octal digits should be con-
verted into the corresponding character.
