Detailed Description

Union for quadrant data.

It is important to notice that piggy1 and piggy2 are only used internally. Hence, they are not part of the API.

Usually piggy3 is also not part of the API. The only exception holds for quadrants in the ghosts array of p8est_ghost_t (cf. documentation of ghosts).
