Module nix_compat::nar::listing
source · Expand description
Parser for the Nix archive listing format, aka .ls.
LS files are produced by the C++ Nix implementation via write-nar-listing=1 query parameter
passed to a store implementation when transferring store paths.
Listing files contains metadata about a file and its offset in the corresponding NAR.
NOTE: LS entries does not offer any integrity field to validate the retrieved file at the provided offset. Validating the contents is the caller’s responsibility.
