Class CAFS

java.lang.Object

aQute.libg.cafs.CAFS

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, Iterable<SHA1>

public class CAFS
extends Object
implements Closeable, Iterable<SHA1>

CAFS implements a SHA-1 based file store. The basic idea is that every file in the universe has a unique SHA-1. Hard to believe but people smarter than me have come to that conclusion. This class maintains a compressed store of SHA-1 identified files. So if you have the SHA-1, you can get the contents. This makes it easy to store a SHA-1 instead of the whole file or maintain a naming scheme. An added advantage is that it is always easy to verify you get the right stuff. The SHA-1 Content Addressable File Store is the core underlying idea in Git.
