Crate rust_unixfs

ipfs-unixfs: UnixFs tree support in Rust.

The crate aims to provide a blockstore implementation independent of the UnixFs implementation by working on slices and not doing any IO operations.

The main entry point for extracting information and/or data out of UnixFs trees is ipfs_unixfs::walk::Walker. To resolve IpfsPath segments over dag-pb nodes, ipfs_unixfs::resolve should be used.

Re-exports

• pub use dir::resolve;
• pub use dir::LookupError;
• pub use dir::MaybeResolved;
• pub use dir::ResolveError;

Modules

• dagpb
  Support operations for the dag-pb, the outer shell of UnixFS dag-pb support operations. Placing this module inside unixfs module is a bit unfortunate but follows from the inseparability of dag-pb and UnixFS.
• dir
  Directory and directory tree support
• file
  File support. UnixFS file support.
• symlink
  Symlink creation support UnixFS symlink support. UnixFS symlinks are UnixFS messages similar to single block files, but the link name or target path is encoded in the UnixFS::Data field. This means that the target path could be in any encoding, however it is always treated as an utf8 Unix path. Could be that this is wrong.
• walk
  Support for walking over all UnixFs trees

Structs

• InvalidCidInLink
  A link could not be transformed into a Cid.
• Metadata
  A container for the UnixFs metadata, which can be present at the root of the file, directory, or symlink trees.
• UnexpectedNodeType
  Wrapper around the unexpected UnixFs node type, allowing access to querying what is known about the type.
