//! Implements an interface for writing the Nix archive format (NAR).
//!
//! NAR files (and their hashed representations) are used in C++ Nix for
//! addressing fixed-output derivations and a variety of other things.
//!
//! NAR files can be output to any type that implements [`Write`], and content
//! can be read from any type that implementes [`BufRead`].
//!
//! Writing a single file might look like this:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use std::io::BufReader;
//! # let some_file: Vec<u8> = vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4];
//!
//! // Output location to write the NAR to.
//! let mut sink: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
//!
//! // Instantiate writer for this output location.
//! let mut nar = nix_compat::nar::writer::open(&mut sink)?;
//!
//! // Acquire metadata for the single file to output, and pass it in a
//! // `BufRead`-implementing type.
//!
//! let executable = false;
//! let size = some_file.len() as u64;
//! let mut reader = BufReader::new(some_file.as_slice());
//! nar.file(executable, size, &mut reader)?;
//! # Ok::<(), std::io::Error>(())
//! ```
