[squid-users] swap.state question

Hello,

Could someone explain the relationship between the swap.state file and
the actual files in the L2 directories?

Is the swap.state a database where Squid does it's cache checking and
the L2 directory files where the data is presented from?

Also, if one of the cache files is deleted, does the swap.state maintain
information about that file?

I am trying to understand how purging items from the cache works, and
realize that has to be some relationship between swap.state and the L2
files, but I looked in the code for client.c (ver 2.5) and client.cc
(ver 3.0) and can not figure out where swap.state or the L2 files are
addressed.

Could someone help me with this please?

Thank you,

Murrah Boswell
