1//! Native RPM plugin.
2//!
3//! An `.rpm` is a **Lead** (96 bytes) + a **signature header** + the **main
4//! header**, then a compressed cpio payload. The authoritative NEVRA — Name,
5//! Epoch, Version, Release, Arch — lives in the main header's **tag table**, NOT
6//! the filename: the filename omits `Epoch` entirely (`foo-1.2-3.x86_64.rpm` says
7//! nothing about `Epoch: 2`), and a renamed file would mislead a filename parser.
8//!
9//! The header is **uncompressed** (only the cpio payload is compressed), so
10//! extraction needs no decompressor — we parse the tag table directly. The data is
11//! attacker-influenced, so every read is bounds-checked; on any malformation we
12//! fall back to the filename (never panic, always return a row), exactly like the
13//! `gem`/`conda` native plugins.
