Raw Blame History

A modern archive format for serializing files, like Tar or Zip

Contents

Features

For a more full specification of the format, please see Format.md

  • No padding between metadata fields or data segments so it only stores the data required to recreate the original file
  • Optional inline checksumming using a choice of md5, sha1 or sha256 algorithms to ensure data integrity
  • Easily parallelized library code
  • Uses generic Read and Write interfaces from Rust std to support reading archive nodes from anything that can supply a stream of data

Building

The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) for this project is currently Rust 1.65. The crate can be added to your project by adding it to your Cargo.toml file. Until the api is more mature you will have to use the crate from it's git repository rather than from the crates.io package registry.
