First: How a file is stored

This is an example. meta is the variable for one meta data (like t=txt), content is the variable for file content. There can be many meta but only one content. Multiple meta can be seperated by ,.
Additionally, there is a filename that's not included in meta or content but is the key-name.

Example:

d=666954083,t=txt*this is some file content.
meta,meta,meta*content
