+//! 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>(())
+//! ```
+
+use std::io::{self, BufRead, ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof, Write};
