|
||||
.Os
|
||||
.Sh NAME
|
||||
.Nm libarchive_internals
|
||||
.Nd description of libarchive internal interfaces
|
||||
.Sh OVERVIEW
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm libarchive
|
||||
library provides a flexible interface for reading and writing
|
||||
streaming archive files such as tar and cpio.
|
||||
Internally, it follows a modular layered design that should
|
||||
make it easy to add new archive and compression formats.
|
||||
.Sh GENERAL ARCHITECTURE
|
||||
Externally, libarchive exposes most operations through an
|
||||
opaque, object-style interface.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Xr archive_entry 3
|
||||
objects store information about a single filesystem object.
|
||||
The rest of the library provides facilities to write
|
||||
.Xr archive_entry 3
|
||||
objects to archive files,
|
||||
read them from archive files,
|
||||
and write them to disk.
|
||||
(There are plans to add a facility to read
|
||||
.Xr archive_entry 3
|
||||
objects from disk as well.)
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The read and write APIs each have four layers: a public API
|
||||
layer, a format layer that understands the archive file format,
|
||||
a compression layer, and an I/O layer.
|
||||
The I/O layer is completely exposed to clients who can replace
|
||||
it entirely with their own functions.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
In order to provide as much consistency as possible for clients,
|
||||
some public functions are virtualized.
|
||||
Eventually, it should be possible for clients to open
|
||||
an archive or disk writer, and then use a single set of
|
||||
code to select and write entries, regardless of the target.
|
||||
.Sh READ ARCHITECTURE
|
||||
From the outside, clients use the
|
||||
.Xr archive_read 3
|
||||
API to manipulate an
|
||||
.Nm archive
|
||||
object to read entries and bodies from an archive stream.
|
||||
Internally, the
|
||||
.Nm archive
|
||||
object is cast to an
|
||||
.Nm archive_read
|
||||
object, which holds all read-specific data.
|
||||
The API has four layers:
|
||||
The lowest layer is the I/O layer.
|
||||
This layer can be overridden by clients, but most clients use
|
||||
the packaged I/O callbacks provided, for example, by
|
||||
.Xr archive_read_open_memory 3 ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Xr archive_read_open_fd 3 .
|
||||
The compression layer calls the I/O layer to
|
||||
read bytes and decompresses them for the format layer.
|
||||
The format layer unpacks a stream of uncompressed bytes and
|
||||
creates
|
||||
.Nm archive_entry
|
||||
objects from the incoming data.
|
||||
The API layer tracks overall state
|
||||
(for example, it prevents clients from reading data before reading a header)
|
||||
and invokes the format and compression layer operations
|
||||
through registered function pointers.
|
||||
In particular, the API layer drives the format-detection process:
|
||||
When opening the archive, it reads an initial block of data
|
||||
and offers it to each registered compression handler.
|
||||
The one with the highest bid is initialized with the first block.
|
||||
Similarly, the format handlers are polled to see which handler
|
||||
is the best for each archive.
|
||||
(Prior to 2.4.0, the format bidders were invoked for each
|
||||
entry, but this design hindered error recovery.)
|
||||
.Ss I/O Layer and Client Callbacks
|
||||
The read API goes to some lengths to be nice to clients.
|
||||
As a result, there are few restrictions on the behavior of
|
||||
the client callbacks.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The client read callback is expected to provide a block
|
||||
of data on each call.
|
||||
A zero-length return does indicate end of file, but otherwise
|
||||
blocks may be as small as one byte or as large as the entire file.
|
||||
In particular, blocks may be of different sizes.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The client skip callback returns the number of bytes actually
|
||||
skipped, which may be much smaller than the skip requested.
|
||||
The only requirement is that the skip not be larger.
|
||||
In particular, clients are allowed to return zero for any
|
||||
skip that they don't want to handle.
|
||||
The skip callback must never be invoked with a negative value.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Keep in mind that not all clients are reading from disk:
|
||||
clients reading from networks may provide different-sized
|
||||
blocks on every request and cannot skip at all;
|
||||
advanced clients may use
|
||||
.Xr mmap 2
|
||||
to read the entire file into memory at once and return the
|
||||
entire file to libarchive as a single block;
|
||||
other clients may begin asynchronous I/O operations for the
|
||||
next block on each request.
|
||||
.Ss Decompresssion Layer
|
||||
The decompression layer not only handles decompression,
|
||||
it also buffers data so that the format handlers see a
|
||||
much nicer I/O model.
|
||||
The decompression API is a two stage peek/consume model.
|
||||
A read_ahead request specifies a minimum read amount;
|
||||
the decompression layer must provide a pointer to at least
|
||||
that much data.
|
||||
If more data is immediately available, it should return more:
|
||||
the format layer handles bulk data reads by asking for a minimum
|
||||
of one byte and then copying as much data as is available.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A subsequent call to the
|
||||
.Fn consume
|
||||
function advances the read pointer.
|
||||
Note that data returned from a
|
||||
.Fn read_ahead
|
||||
call is guaranteed to remain in place until
|
||||
the next call to
|
||||
.Fn read_ahead .
|
||||
Intervening calls to
|
||||
.Fn consume
|
||||
should not cause the data to move.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Skip requests must always be handled exactly.
|
||||
Decompression handlers that cannot seek forward should
|
||||
not register a skip handler;
|
||||
the API layer fills in a generic skip handler that reads and discards data.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
A decompression handler has a specific lifecycle:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
|
||||
.It Registration/Configuration
|
||||
When the client invokes the public support function,
|
||||
the decompression handler invokes the internal
|
||||
.Fn __archive_read_register_compression
|
||||
function to provide bid and initialization functions.
|
||||
This function returns
|
||||
.Cm NULL
|
||||
on error or else a pointer to a
|
||||
.Cm struct decompressor_t .
|
||||
This structure contains a
|
||||
.Va void * config
|
||||
slot that can be used for storing any customization information.
|
||||
.It Bid
|
||||
The bid function is invoked with a pointer and size of a block of data.
|
||||
The decompressor can access its config data
|
||||
through the
|
||||
.Va decompressor
|
||||
element of the
|
||||
.Cm archive_read
|
||||
object.
|
||||
The bid function is otherwise stateless.
|
||||
In particular, it must not perform any I/O operations.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The value returned by the bid function indicates its suitability
|
||||
for handling this data stream.
|
||||
A bid of zero will ensure that this decompressor is never invoked.
|
||||
Return zero if magic number checks fail.
|
||||
Otherwise, your initial implementation should return the number of bits
|
||||
actually checked.
|
||||
For example, if you verify two full bytes and three bits of another
|
||||
byte, bid 19.
|
||||
Note that the initial block may be very short;
|
||||
be careful to only inspect the data you are given.
|
||||
(The current decompressors require two bytes for correct bidding.)
|
||||
.It Initialize
|
||||
The winning bidder will have its init function called.
|
||||
This function should initialize the remaining slots of the
|
||||
.Va struct decompressor_t
|
||||
object pointed to by the
|
||||
.Va decompressor
|
||||
element of the
|
||||
.Va archive_read
|
||||
object.
|
||||
In particular, it should allocate any working data it needs
|
||||
in the
|
||||
.Va data
|
||||
slot of that structure.
|
||||
The init function is called with the block of data that
|
||||
was used for tasting.
|
||||
At this point, the decompressor is responsible for all I/O
|
||||
requests to the client callbacks.
|
||||
The decompressor is free to read more data as and when
|
||||
necessary.
|
||||
.It Satisfy I/O requests
|
||||
The format handler will invoke the
|
||||
.Va read_ahead ,
|
||||
.Va consume ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Va skip
|
||||
functions as needed.
|
||||
.It Finish
|
||||
The finish method is called only once when the archive is closed.
|
||||
It should release anything stored in the
|
||||
.Va data
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Va config
|
||||
slots of the
|
||||
.Va decompressor
|
||||
object.
|
||||
It should not invoke the client close callback.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Ss Format Layer
|
||||
The read formats have a similar lifecycle to the decompression handlers:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
|
||||
.It Registration
|
||||
Allocate your private data and initialize your pointers.
|
||||
.It Bid
|
||||
Formats bid by invoking the
|
||||
.Fn read_ahead
|
||||
decompression method but not calling the
|
||||
.Fn consume
|
||||
method.
|
||||
This allows each bidder to look ahead in the input stream.
|
||||
Bidders should not look further ahead than necessary, as long
|
||||
look aheads put pressure on the decompression layer to buffer
|
||||
lots of data.
|
||||
Most formats only require a few hundred bytes of look ahead;
|
||||
look aheads of a few kilobytes are reasonable.
|
||||
(The ISO9660 reader sometimes looks ahead by 48k, which
|
||||
should be considered an upper limit.)
|
||||
.It Read header
|
||||
The header read is usually the most complex part of any format.
|
||||
There are a few strategies worth mentioning:
|
||||
For formats such as tar or cpio, reading and parsing the header is
|
||||
straightforward since headers alternate with data.
|
||||
For formats that store all header data at the beginning of the file,
|
||||
the first header read request may have to read all headers into
|
||||
memory and store that data, sorted by the location of the file
|
||||
data.
|
||||
Subsequent header read requests will skip forward to the
|
||||
beginning of the file data and return the corresponding header.
|
||||
.It Read Data
|
||||
The read data interface supports sparse files; this requires that
|
||||
each call return a block of data specifying the file offset and
|
||||
size.
|
||||
This may require you to carefully track the location so that you
|
||||
can return accurate file offsets for each read.
|
||||
Remember that the decompressor will return as much data as it has.
|
||||
Generally, you will want to request one byte,
|
||||
examine the return value to see how much data is available, and
|
||||
possibly trim that to the amount you can use.
|
||||
You should invoke consume for each block just before you return it.
|
||||
.It Skip All Data
|
||||
The skip data call should skip over all file data and trailing padding.
|
||||
This is called automatically by the API layer just before each
|
||||
header read.
|
||||
It is also called in response to the client calling the public
|
||||
.Fn data_skip
|
||||
function.
|
||||
.It Cleanup
|
||||
On cleanup, the format should release all of its allocated memory.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Ss API Layer

||||
XXX to do XXX
|
||||
.Sh WRITE ARCHITECTURE
|
||||
The write API has a similar set of four layers:
|
||||
an API layer, a format layer, a compression layer, and an I/O layer.
|
||||
The registration here is much simpler because only
|
||||
one format and one compression can be registered at a time.

|
||||
.Sh WRITE_DISK ARCHITECTURE
|
||||
The write_disk API is intended to look just like the write API
|
||||
to clients.
|
||||
Since it does not handle multiple formats or compression, it
|
||||
is not layered internally.
|
||||
.Sh GENERAL SERVICES
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm archive_read ,
|
||||
.Nm archive_write ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Nm archive_write_disk
|
||||
objects all contain an initial
|
||||
.Nm archive
|
||||
object which provides common support for a set of standard services.
|
||||
(Recall that ANSI/ISO C90 guarantees that you can cast freely between
|
||||
a pointer to a structure and a pointer to the first element of that
|
||||
structure.)
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm archive
|
||||
object has a magic value that indicates which API this object
|
||||
is associated with,
|
||||
slots for storing error information,
|
||||
and function pointers for virtualized API functions.
|
||||
.Sh MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
|
||||
Connecting existing archiving libraries into libarchive is generally
|
||||
quite difficult.
|
||||
In particular, many existing libraries strongly assume that you
|
||||
are reading from a file; they seek forwards and backwards as necessary
|
||||
to locate various pieces of information.
|
||||
In contrast, libarchive never seeks backwards in its input, which
|
||||
sometimes requires very different approaches.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For example, libarchive's ISO9660 support operates very differently
|
||||
from most ISO9660 readers.
|
||||
The libarchive support utilizes a work-queue design that
|
||||
keeps a list of known entries sorted by their location in the input.
|
||||
Whenever libarchive's ISO9660 implementation is asked for the next
|
||||
header, checks this list to find the next item on the disk.
|
||||
Directories are parsed when they are encountered and new
|
||||
items are added to the list.
|
||||
This design relies heavily on the ISO9660 image being optimized so that
|
||||
directories always occur earlier on the disk than the files they
|
||||
describe.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Depending on the specific format, such approaches may not be possible.
|
||||
The ZIP format specification, for example, allows archivers to store
|
||||
key information only at the end of the file.
|
||||
In theory, it is possible to create ZIP archives that cannot
|
||||
be read without seeking.
|
||||
Fortunately, such archives are very rare, and libarchive can read
|
||||
most ZIP archives, though it cannot always extract as much information
|
||||
as a dedicated ZIP program.
