//! CAR v1 reader + writer.
//!
//! Wire shape (from <https://ipld.io/specs/transport/car/carv1/>):
//!
//! ```text
//! | varint(len) | DAG-CBOR header | varint(len) | CID | bytes | varint(len) | CID | bytes | ...
//! ```
//!
//! - The **header** is a DAG-CBOR map with two fields: `version: 1`
//!   and `roots: [Cid]`. CIDs in the roots list are in their usual
//!   IPLD-tagged form (tag 42).
//! - Each **block section** is `varint(len) | cid_bytes | payload_bytes`
//!   where `len` is the byte count of `cid_bytes + payload_bytes`
//!   combined, and `cid_bytes` is the *binary* `CIDv1` form (not the
//!   multibase string). A `CIDv0` (legacy, codec-less) is also permitted
//!   by the spec but not emitted by this writer.
//!
//! This module stays at the byte level: it produces / consumes CARs,
//! but knows nothing about which blocks belong in a particular DAG.
//! The [`mod@super::export`] / [`mod@super::import`] modules do the walking
//! and the blockstore wiring.
