//! NAR wire format, without I/O details, since those differ between //! the synchronous and asynchronous implementations. //! //! The wire format is an S-expression format, encoded onto the wire //! using simple encoding rules. //! //! # Encoding //! //! Lengths are represented as 64-bit unsigned integers in little-endian //! format. Byte strings, including file contents and syntactic strings //! part of the grammar, are prefixed by their 64-bit length, and padded //! to 8-byte (64-bit) alignment with zero bytes. The zero-length string //! is therefore encoded as eight zero bytes representing its length. //! //! # Grammar //! //! The NAR grammar is as follows: //! ```plain //! archive ::= "nix-archive-1" node //! //! node ::= "(" "type" "symlink" "target" string ")" //! ||= "(" "type" "regular" ("executable" "")? "contents" string ")" //! ||= "(" "type" "directory" entry* ")" //! //! entry ::= "entry" "(" "name" string "node" node ")" //! ``` //! //! We rewrite it to pull together the purely syntactic elements into //! unified tokens, producing an equivalent grammar that can be parsed //! and serialized more elegantly: //! ```plain //! archive ::= TOK_NAR node //! node ::= TOK_SYM string TOK_PAR //! ||= (TOK_REG | TOK_EXE) string TOK_PAR //! ||= TOK_DIR entry* TOK_PAR //! //! entry ::= TOK_ENT string TOK_NOD node TOK_PAR //! //! TOK_NAR ::= "nix-archive-1" "(" "type" //! TOK_SYM ::= "symlink" "target" //! TOK_REG ::= "regular" "contents" //! TOK_EXE ::= "regular" "executable" "" //! TOK_DIR ::= "directory" //! TOK_ENT ::= "entry" "(" "name" //! TOK_NOD ::= "node" "(" "type" //! TOK_PAR ::= ")" //! ``` //! //! # Restrictions //! //! NOTE: These restrictions are not (and cannot be) enforced by this module, //! but must be enforced by its consumers, [super::reader] and [super::writer]. //! //! Directory entry names cannot have the reserved names `.` and `..`, nor contain //! forward slashes. They must appear in strictly ascending lexicographic order //! within a directory, and can be at most [MAX_NAME_LEN] bytes in length. //! //! Symlink targets can be at most [MAX_TARGET_LEN] bytes in length. //! //! Neither is permitted to be empty, or contain null bytes. // These values are the standard Linux length limits /// Maximum length of a directory entry name pub const MAX_NAME_LEN: usize = 255; /// Maximum length of a symlink target pub const MAX_TARGET_LEN: usize = 4095; #[cfg(test)] fn token(xs: &[&str]) -> Vec { let mut out = vec![]; for x in xs { let len = x.len() as u64; out.extend_from_slice(&len.to_le_bytes()); out.extend_from_slice(x.as_bytes()); let n = x.len() & 7; if n != 0 { const ZERO: [u8; 8] = [0; 8]; out.extend_from_slice(&ZERO[n..]); } } out } pub const TOK_NAR: [u8; 56] = *b"\x0d\0\0\0\0\0\0\0nix-archive-1\0\0\0\x01\0\0\0\0\0\0\0(\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x04\0\0\0\0\0\0\0type\0\0\0\0"; pub const TOK_SYM: [u8; 32] = *b"\x07\0\0\0\0\0\0\0symlink\0\x06\0\0\0\0\0\0\0target\0\0"; pub const TOK_REG: [u8; 32] = *b"\x07\0\0\0\0\0\0\0regular\0\x08\0\0\0\0\0\0\0contents"; pub const TOK_EXE: [u8; 64] = *b"\x07\0\0\0\0\0\0\0regular\0\x0a\0\0\0\0\0\0\0executable\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x08\0\0\0\0\0\0\0contents"; pub const TOK_DIR: [u8; 24] = *b"\x09\0\0\0\0\0\0\0directory\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"; pub const TOK_ENT: [u8; 48] = *b"\x05\0\0\0\0\0\0\0entry\0\0\0\x01\0\0\0\0\0\0\0(\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x04\0\0\0\0\0\0\0name\0\0\0\0"; pub const TOK_NOD: [u8; 48] = *b"\x04\0\0\0\0\0\0\0node\0\0\0\0\x01\0\0\0\0\0\0\0(\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x04\0\0\0\0\0\0\0type\0\0\0\0"; pub const TOK_PAR: [u8; 16] = *b"\x01\0\0\0\0\0\0\0)\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"; #[cfg(feature = "async")] const TOK_PAD_PAR: [u8; 24] = *b"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x01\0\0\0\0\0\0\0)\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"; #[cfg(feature = "async")] #[derive(Debug)] pub(crate) enum PadPar {} #[cfg(all(feature = "async", feature = "wire"))] impl crate::wire::reader::Tag for PadPar { const PATTERN: &'static [u8] = &TOK_PAD_PAR; type Buf = [u8; 24]; fn make_buf() -> Self::Buf { [0; 24] } } #[test] fn tokens() { let cases: &[(&[u8], &[&str])] = &[ (&TOK_NAR, &["nix-archive-1", "(", "type"]), (&TOK_SYM, &["symlink", "target"]), (&TOK_REG, &["regular", "contents"]), (&TOK_EXE, &["regular", "executable", "", "contents"]), (&TOK_DIR, &["directory"]), (&TOK_ENT, &["entry", "(", "name"]), (&TOK_NOD, &["node", "(", "type"]), (&TOK_PAR, &[")"]), ]; for &(tok, xs) in cases { assert_eq!(tok, token(xs)); } } pub use tag::Tag; mod tag; tag::make! { /// These are the node tokens, succeeding [TOK_NAR] or [TOK_NOD], /// and preceding the next variable-length element. pub enum Node[16] { Sym = TOK_SYM, Reg = TOK_REG, Exe = TOK_EXE, Dir = TOK_DIR, } /// Directory entry or terminator pub enum Entry[0] { /// End of directory None = TOK_PAR, /// Directory entry /// Followed by a name string, [TOK_NOD], and a [Node].
