Struct git_pack::data::File

pub struct File {
    pub id: u32,
    // some fields omitted
}

A pack data file

Fields

id: u32

A hash to represent the path field when used with cache lookup, or a way to identify this pack by its location on disk.

Note that path might not be canonicalized, thus different hashes might actually refer to the same pack on disk. This will only lead to less efficient cache usage.

Implementations

impl File

Decompression of objects

pub fn decompress_entry(
    &self,
    entry: &Entry,
    out: &mut [u8]
) -> Result<usize, Error>

Decompress the given entry into out and return the amount of bytes read from the pack data.

Note that this method does not resolve deltified objects, but merely decompresses their content out is expected to be large enough to hold entry.size bytes.

Panics

If out isn’t large enough to hold the decompressed entry

pub fn entry(&self, offset: u64) -> Entry

Obtain the Entry at the given offset into the pack.

The offset is typically obtained from the pack index file.

pub fn decode_entry(
    &self,
    entry: Entry,
    out: &mut Vec<u8>,
    resolve: impl Fn(&oid, &mut Vec<u8>) -> Option<ResolvedBase>,
    delta_cache: &mut impl DecodeEntry
) -> Result<Outcome, Error>

Decode an entry, resolving delta’s as needed, while growing the out vector if there is not enough space to hold the result object.

The entry determines which object to decode, and is commonly obtained with the help of a pack index file or through pack iteration.

resolve is a function to lookup objects with the given ObjectId, in case the full object id is used to refer to a base object, instead of an in-pack offset.

delta_cache is a mechanism to avoid looking up base objects multiple times when decompressing multiple objects in a row. Use a Noop-Cache to disable caching alltogether at the cost of repeating work.

impl File

Instantiation

pub fn at(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<File, Error>

Try opening a data file at the given path.

impl File

Checksums and verify checksums

pub fn checksum(&self) -> ObjectId

The checksum in the trailer of this pack data file

pub fn verify_checksum(
    &self,
    progress: impl Progress,
    should_interrupt: &AtomicBool
) -> Result<ObjectId, Error>

Verifies that the checksum of the packfile over all bytes preceding it indeed matches the actual checksum, returning the actual checksum equivalent to the return value of checksum() if there is no mismatch.

Note that if no progress is desired, one can pass [git_features::progress::Discard].

Have a look at index::File::verify_integrity(…) for an even more thorough integrity check.

impl File

pub fn streaming_iter(&self) -> Result<BytesToEntriesIter<impl BufRead>, Error>

Returns an iterator over Entries, without making use of the memory mapping.

impl File

Information about the pack data file itself

pub fn version(&self) -> Version

The pack data version of this file

pub fn num_objects(&self) -> u32

The number of objects stored in this pack data file

pub fn data_len(&self) -> usize

The length of all mapped data, including the pack header and the pack trailer

pub fn pack_end(&self) -> usize

The position of the byte one past the last pack entry, or in other terms, the first byte of the trailing hash.

pub fn path(&self) -> &Path

The path to the pack data file on disk

pub fn entry_slice(&self, slice: EntryRange) -> Option<&[u8]>

Returns the pack data at the given slice if its range is contained in the mapped pack data

pub fn entry_crc32(&self, pack_offset: u64, size: usize) -> u32

Returns the CRC32 of the pack data indicated by pack_offset and the size of the mapped data.

Note: finding the right size is only possible by decompressing the pack entry beforehand, or by using the (to be sorted) offsets stored in an index file.

Panics

If pack_offset or size are pointing to a range outside of the mapped pack data.

Trait Implementations

impl TryFrom<&'_ Path> for File

fn try_from(path: &Path) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Try opening a data file at the given path.

type Error = Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.
