Crate arrsync

A tokio-based, rust only, self baked, partial rsync wire protocol implementation for retrieving files from rsyncd servers.

Quick example:

// Print all the Manifest files for gentoo ebuilds
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let url = url::Url::parse("rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/")?;
    let (mut client, files) = arrsync::RsyncClient::connect(&url).await?;
    for file in files.into_iter() {
        if !file.is_file() {
            continue;
        }
        if !file.path.ends_with("/Manifest".as_bytes()) {
            continue;
        }
        async fn get_and_print(
            file: arrsync::File,
            client: arrsync::RsyncClient
        ) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
            use tokio::io::AsyncReadExt;
            let mut content = vec![];
            client.get(&file).await?.read_to_end(&mut content).await?;
            // "Race" to finish. Ignored for simplicity reasons.
            print!("{}", String::from_utf8(content)?);
            Ok(())
        }
        tokio::spawn(get_and_print(file, client.clone()));
    }
    client.close().await?;
    Ok(())
}

Beware that rsync is, of course, unencrypted.
