Crate provenant 

Provenant

provenant is the library crate behind the provenant CLI. It provides ScanCode-compatible scanning, package parsing, and output-writing building blocks for Rust applications.

The main entry points are:

• process and process_with_options to scan a directory tree
• OutputFormat, OutputWriter, and write_output_file to serialize scan results
• parsers and models for lower-level package parsing and result inspection

High-level crate organization:

• scanner orchestrates traversal, filtering, and scan execution
• parsers extracts package metadata from ecosystem-specific inputs
• copyright and finder extract text clues such as copyrights, emails, and URLs
• output renders ScanCode-compatible and SBOM-oriented output formats
• models defines the core scan result data structures

User-facing installation, CLI usage, supported format coverage, and broader architecture notes live in the repository documentation. The crate-level rustdoc stays intentionally concise so fast-changing project details have a single source of truth outside this file.
