Crate bootsector

Read basic MBR and GPT partition tables from a reader.

Examples

Load MBR or GPT partitions from a reader:

use std::io;
use bootsector::{list_partitions, open_partition, Options, Attributes};

// let reader = ...;
let partitions = list_partitions(&mut reader, &Options::default())?;
let part = &partitions[0];

// See what type of partition this is
match part.attributes {
    Attributes::GPT {
        type_uuid,
        ..
    } => println!("gpt: {:?}", type_uuid),
    Attributes::MBR {
        type_code,
        ..
    } => println!("mbr: {:x}", type_code),
}

let part_reader = open_partition(reader, part);
// part_reader.read_exact(...
