Whole document tree [ Abstract ] [ Copyright Notice ] [ Contents ] APT Cache File FormatAbstractThis document describes the complete implementation and format of the APT Cache file. The APT Cache file is a way for APT to parse and store a large number of package files for display in the UI. It's primary design goal is to make display of a single package in the tree very fast by pre-linking important things like dependencies and provides. The specification doubles as documentation for one of the in-memory structures used by the package library and the APT GUI. Copyright NoticeCopyright © Jason Gunthorpe, 1997-1998.
