Types

type File

type File struct {
	Type FileType
	Info FileInfo
	Id   uint64
	Name string

	EncodingMimetype   string
	CompressedChecksum FileChecksum
	ExtractedChecksum  FileChecksum
	// The size of the archived file (the size of the file after decompressing)
	Size int64
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*File) Open

func (f *File) Open() (rc io.ReadCloser, err error)

Open returns a ReadCloser that provides access to the file's uncompressed content.

func (*File) OpenRaw

func (f *File) OpenRaw() (rc io.ReadCloser, err error)

OpenRaw returns a ReadCloser that provides access to the file's raw content. The encoding of the raw content is specified in the File's EncodingMimetype field.

func (*File) VerifyChecksum

func (f *File) VerifyChecksum() bool

Verify that the compressed content of the File in the archive matches the stored checksum.

type FileChecksum

type FileChecksum struct {
	Kind FileChecksumKind
	Sum  []byte
}

type FileChecksumKind

type FileChecksumKind int

const (
	FileChecksumKindSHA1 FileChecksumKind = iota
	FileChecksumKindMD5
)

type FileInfo

type FileInfo struct {
	DeviceNo uint64
	Mode     uint32
	Inode    uint64
	Uid      int
	User     string
	Gid      int
	Group    string
	Atime    int64
	Mtime    int64
	Ctime    int64
}

type FileType

type FileType int

const (
	FileTypeFile FileType = iota
	FileTypeDirectory
	FileTypeSymlink
	FileTypeFifo
	FileTypeCharDevice
	FileTypeBlockDevice
	FileTypeSocket
)

type Reader

type Reader struct {
	File map[uint64]*File

	Certificates          []*x509.Certificate
	SignatureCreationTime int64
	SignatureError        error
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewReader

func NewReader(r io.ReaderAt, size int64) (*Reader, error)

NewReader returns a new reader reading from r, which is assumed to have the given size in bytes.

func OpenReader

func OpenReader(name string) (*Reader, error)

OpenReader will open the XAR file specified by name and return a Reader.

func (*Reader) HasSignature

func (r *Reader) HasSignature() bool

This is a convenience method that returns true if the opened XAR archive has a signature. Internally, it checks whether the SignatureCreationTime field of the Reader is > 0.

func (*Reader) Subdoc

func (r *Reader) Subdoc() xmlSubdoc

func (*Reader) TOC

func (r *Reader) TOC() xmlToc

func (*Reader) ValidSignature

func (r *Reader) ValidSignature() bool

This is a convenience method that returns true of the signature if the opened XAR archive was successfully verified.

For a signature to be valid, it must have been signed by the leaf certificate in the certificate chain of the archive.

If there is more than one certificate in the chain, each certificate must come before the one that has issued it. This is verified by checking whether the signature of each certificate can be verified against the public key of the certificate following it.

The Reader does not do anything to check whether the leaf certificate and/or any intermediate certificates are trusted. It is up to users of this package to determine whether they wish to trust a given certificate chain. If an archive has a signature, the certificate chain of the archive can be accessed through the Certificates field of the Reader.

Internally, this method checks whether the SignatureError field is non-nil, and whether the SignatureCreationTime is > 0.

If the signature is not valid, and the XAR file has a signature, the SignatureError field of the Reader can be used to determine a possible cause.
