Struct Entry 

pub struct Entry<'a> { /* private fields */ }

One entry, borrowed from the archive it came from.

The reader is deliberately not Send. It was until Phase 2’s first real container, and the bound was unsound to require: tar::Entry holds &Archive<dyn Read> over a RefCell, so it is !Send for any reader, and every container built on the tar crate would have had to assert unsafe impl Send for a property that is false — a lie that becomes UB the day anything actually sends one.

Nothing needs it. An entry borrows the archive it came from (ArchiveRead::next_entry(&mut self) -> Entry<'_>), so sending an entry to another thread would mean sending the archive with it, and no caller in this tree does either: entries are read on the thread that asked for them. Dropping the bound is strictly more permissive, so a container whose reader IS Send is unaffected.

Implementations

impl<'a> Entry<'a>

pub fn new(meta: EntryMeta, reader: Box<dyn Read + 'a>) -> Self

pub fn meta(&self) -> &EntryMeta

pub fn reader(&mut self) -> &mut (dyn Read + 'a)

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Entry<'_>

Manual impl: reader is Box<dyn Read>, which cannot derive Debug. Needed so Result<Entry<'_>, Error>::unwrap_err() type-checks in tests (unwrap_err requires the Ok side to be Debug).

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
