ZIM archives can be split in multiple files. This is necessary to be able to store big (over 4GB for example) ZIM archives to limited file systems (like FAT32). That said, the files can be of any size, but the naming is really important. The ZIM files should be named like following (the file name extensions matter): ''foobar.zimaa, foobar.zimab, foobar.zimac''...

`pathPtrPos` was initially called `urlPtrPos` (and `path` in dirent structure was called `url`). In April 2024, we have changed the wording from `url` to `path` as it better conveys that we are storing a path of the entry and not a full url (with scheme, host...). Note that is is just a wording change and the semantic has not changed at all. Implementation doesn't have to change anything (except a potential renaming of variables to better follow the spec).
