[squid-users] Abt INDEX table

Hello,

As mentioned in the URL

http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/latest/html/c21.html#AEN82

 RAM requirements

 Squid keeps an in-memory table of objects in RAM. Because of the way that
Squid checks if objects are in the file store, fast access to the table is
very important.

 Each object stored on disk uses about 75 bytes (? get exact value ?) of
RAM in the index.

Now can you tell me "How the INDEX tables values relates to the
(respective) objects that are stored in disk?"

For ex:[ according to the above documentation what i thought is ]

Index value Object location
____________________________________

index_value1 Pointer to the Location of Object1 in disk

index_value2 Pointer to the Location of Object2 in disk
.
.
.
index_valueN Pointer to the Location of ObjectN in disk
___________________________________

My doubt is what are these index_values? what method it uses to relate
respective object?

TIA&
Regards
