Crate mbr 

mbr-core

Pure-Rust, read-only Master Boot Record (MBR) parser. Decodes the on-disk structures — the 512-byte boot sector, the four primary partition entries, Extended Boot Record (EBR) chains, CHS/LBA geometry, GPT and VBR cross-validation primitives, boot-code identity, and filesystem fingerprints — with no I/O beyond a caller-supplied Read + Seek.

This crate is the structure-decode layer. It deliberately contains no anomaly findings: the forensic analyzer that turns these structures into graded observations lives in the sibling mbr-forensic crate, which re-exports every type here.

use mbr::parse_mbr_sector;

// Pure parsing from a 512-byte buffer (no I/O required):
let buf = [0u8; 512];
let sector = parse_mbr_sector(&buf)?;
