I guess I wrote essentially the same thing before refreshing my
Inbox.
I am a bit fuzzy between off_t and size_t; the former is for the
size of things you see on the filesystem, while the latter is for
you to give malloc(3). I would have thought that off_t is the type
we would want at the end of the raw object header, denoting the size
of a blob object when deflated, which could be larger than the size
of a region of memory we can get from malloc(3), in which case we
would use the streaming interface.
