Module gix_index::extension::end_of_index_entry

source ·
Expand description

Constants§

  • The minimal size of the extension, depending on the shortest hash.
  • The smallest size of the extension varying by hash kind, along with the standard extension header.
  • The signature of the end-of-index-entry extension

Functions§

  • Decode the end of index entry extension, which is no more than a glorified offset to the first byte of all extensions to allow loading entries and extensions in parallel.
  • Write this extension to out and generate a hash of hash_kind over all prior_extensions which are specified as (signature, size) pair. one_past_entries is the offset to the first byte past the entries, which is also the first byte of the signature of the first extension in prior_extensions. Note that prior_extensions must have been written prior to this one, as the name suggests, allowing this extension to be the last one in the index file.
