mtree2

[ lib.rs ] [ crates.io ]

This is a fork of mtree-rs fixing some issues and improving performance. Unfortunately the upstream has been dead apart from one comment, so a fork was necessary.

The original README is reproduced below:

A library for iterating through entries of an mtree.

mtree is a data format used for describing a sequence of files. Their location is record, along with optional extra values like checksums, size, permissions etc.

For details on the spec see mtree(5).

Examples

use mtree2::MTree;
use std::time::SystemTime;

// We're going to load data from a string so this example with pass doctest,
// but there's no reason you can't use a file, or any other data source.
let raw_data = "
/set type=file uid=0 gid=0 mode=644

";
let entries = MTree::from_reader(raw_data.as_bytes());
for entry in entries {
    // Normally you'd want to handle any errors
    let entry = entry.unwrap();
    // We can print out a human-readable copy of the entry
    println!("{}", entry);
    // Let's check that if there is a modification time, it's in the past
    if let Some(time) = entry.time() {
        assert!(time < SystemTime::now());
    }
    // We might also want to take a checksum of the file, and compare it to the digests
    // supplied by mtree, but this example doesn't have access to a filesystem.

MSRV (Minimum Supported Rust Version) policy

The MSRV may be bumped as needed. It is guaranteed that this program will at least build on the current stable Rust release. An MSRV change is not considered a breaking change and as such may change even in a patch version.
