Format of Onbar Debug log (bar_debug.log)

Format of an XBSA function in bar_debug.log
Any function name not beginning with "BSA" is an Onbar function. If a function name begins with "BSA" then it is an XBSA function. An XBSA function in the bar_debug.log usually has a designated starting and ending point. The starting point is indicated by the function name followed by the word "enter". Essentially, this is Onbar telling the Storage Manager(SM) that it wants to run a particular function. The ending point is indicated by the function name, followed by the word "return", then a number that is a status message from the SM. Essentially, this is the SM telling Onbar that it completed the function with the status returned. 0x00 indicates successful completion.
