A Rusty .DS_Store Parser

Get The Library!

add something like this to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
ds_store = "0.1"

Usage

extern crate ds_store;

use std::{io::Read, fs::File};
use ds_store::{DsStore, Record};

fn main() {
    let args: Vec<String> = std::env::args().collect();
    if args.len() != 2 {
        println!("Incorrect usage! `./binary_path /path/to/.DS_Store");
        return;
    }

    let mut file = File::open(&args[1]).expect("Could not open file.");
    let mut buf: Vec<u8> = vec![];
    file.read_to_end(&mut buf).expect("Could not read file to end.");

    let store: DsStore = match DsStore::new(&buf) {
        Ok(s) => s,
        Err(e) => {
            println!("Could not construct the DS_Store: {:?}", e);
            return;
        }
    };
    let records: &Vec<Record> = store.records();
    records.iter().for_each(|r| println!("{:?}", r));
    println!("printed {:?} records", records.len());
}

This example is replicated in examples/basic.rs. Call it with $ cargo run --example basic examples/basic.DS_Store

TODO

• Rigorous testing? Probably!
• Better API? What do you want to do with DS_Store files? Let me know! Make an issue!
• Make no_std compatible
  • Add no_std category when happens
  • Basically just need to get rid of ds_store::Error::UnkonwnStructureType(String) I think.
• Fill out Cargo.toml metadata with docs location and stuff.
