Module body_image::barc [−][src]
Body Archive container file format, reader and writer.
BARC is a minimal container file format for the storage or one to many
HTTP request/response dialog records. A fixed length ASCII-limited record
head specifies lengths of a subsequent series of request and response
header blocks and bodies which are stored as raw (unencoded) bytes. When
not using the internal compression feature, the format is easily human
readable. With compression, the barc
CLI tool can be used to view
records.
See some sample files in source sample/*.barc.
Other features:
-
An additional meta-headers block provides more recording details and can also be used to store application-specific values.
-
Sequential or random-access reads by record offset (which could be stored in an external index or database).
-
Single-writer sessions are guaranteed safe with N concurrent readers (in or out of process).
-
Optional per-record gzip or Brotli compression (headers and bodies)

BarcReader |
BARC file handle for read access. Each reader has its own file handle and position. |

Strategy of no (aka |
Record |
An owned BARC record with public fields. |
Enums
BarcError |
Error enumeration for all barc module errors. This may be extended in the future, so exhaustive matching is gently discouraged with an unused variant. |
Compression |
BARC record compression mode. |

BARC record type. |
Constants
V2_HEAD_SIZE |
Fixed record head size including CRLF terminator: 54 Bytes |
V2_MAX_HBLOCK |
Maximum header (meta, request, response) block size, including any CRLF terminator: 220 (1 MiB) - 1. |
V2_MAX_RECORD |
Maximum total record length, excluding the record head: 248 (256 TiB) - 1. Note: this exceeds the file or partition size limits of many file-systems. |
