go-nix - Nix experiments written in go
STATUS: experimental
This repository holds a bunch of experiments written in Go.
cmd/gonix
A command line entrypoint called gonix, currently implementing the nar
{cat,dump-path,ls} commands.
They're not meant to be 100% compatible, but are documented in the --help
output.
pkg/derivation
A parser for Nix .drv files
pkg/hash
Methods to serialize and deserialize some of the hashes used in nix code and
.narinfo files.
pkg/nar
A Nix ARchive (NAR) file Reader and Writer, with an interface similar to
archive/tar from the stdlib, as well as a DumpPath method, which
will assemble a NAR representation of a local file system path.
pkg/nar/ls
A parser for .ls files (providing an index for .nar files)
pkg/nar/narinfo
A parser and generator for .narinfo files.
pkg/nixbase32
An implementation of the slightly odd "base32" encoding that's used in Nix,
providing some of the functions in encoding/base32.Encoding.
pkg/nixpath
A parser and regexes for Nix Store Paths.
pkg/wire
Methods to parse and produce fields used in the low-level Nix wire protocol.
