//! 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;
