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

• Address the various TODOs within the code.
• Document everything!
• 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? Probably not gonna happen. std types too nice.
• Fill out Cargo.toml metadata with docs location and stuff.
• Should I exclude the examples from the cargo manifest? So that there isnt so many useless kilobytes being downloaded with the crate. People who want the examples probably just clone the library right?
