/**
* Auxiliary structure used for reading the snapshot image data and
* metadata from and writing them to the list of page backup entries
* (PBEs) which is the main data structure of swsusp.
*
* Using struct snapshot_handle we can transfer the image, including its
* metadata, as a continuous sequence of bytes with the help of
* snapshot_read_next() and snapshot_write_next().
*
* The code that writes the image to a storage or transfers it to
* the user land is required to use snapshot_read_next() for this
* purpose and it should not make any assumptions regarding the internal
* structure of the image. Similarly, the code that reads the image from
* a storage or transfers it from the user land is required to use
* snapshot_write_next().
*
* This may allow us to change the internal structure of the image
* in the future with considerably less effort.
