Struct DebArchive

pub struct DebArchive { /* private fields */ }

An intermediary layer between the DebPackage struct and an actual .deb file.

This struct allows you to read and write built packages from and to the filesystem.

The contents of a DebArchive cannot be directly manipulated. To modify a DebArchive, you must first convert it to a DebPackage with the to_package() method, or open the file using DebPackage’s from() function.

Implementations

impl DebArchive

pub fn write<W: Write>(&self, output: W) -> Result<()>

Writes package to output.

pub fn read<R: Read>(input: R) -> Result<Self>

Reads package from input.

pub fn to_package(&self) -> Result<DebPackage>

Converts DebArchive to DebPackage.

Errors

This function may return an error if the archive’s control file (where all of a package’s metadata is stored) contains invalid syntax, or if part of the package is corrupted and can’t be read.
