5 * A revindex allows converting efficiently between three properties
6 * of an object within a pack:
8 * - index position: the numeric position within the list of sorted object ids
9 * found in the .idx file
11 * - pack position: the numeric position within the list of objects in their
12 * order within the actual .pack file (i.e., 0 is the first object in the
13 * .pack, 1 is the second, and so on)
15 * - offset: the byte offset within the .pack file at which the object contents
16 * can be found

22 struct packed_git;
25 * load_pack_revindex populates the revindex's internal data-structures for the
26 * given pack, returning zero on success and a negative value otherwise.
28 * If a '.rev' file is present it is mmap'd, and pointers are assigned into it
29 * (instead of using the in-memory variant).
31 int load_pack_revindex(struct packed_git *p);
34 * offset_to_pack_pos converts an object offset to a pack position. This
35 * function returns zero on success, and a negative number otherwise. The
36 * parameter 'pos' is usable only on success.
38 * If the reverse index has not yet been loaded, this function loads it lazily,
39 * and returns an negative number if an error was encountered.
41 * This function runs in time O(log N) with the number of objects in the pack.
43 int offset_to_pack_pos(struct packed_git *p, off_t ofs, uint32_t *pos);
46 * pack_pos_to_index converts the given pack-relative position 'pos' by
47 * returning an index-relative position.
49 * If the reverse index has not yet been loaded, or the position is out of
50 * bounds, this function aborts.
52 * This function runs in constant time.
54 uint32_t pack_pos_to_index(struct packed_git *p, uint32_t pos);
57 * pack_pos_to_offset converts the given pack-relative position 'pos' into a
58 * pack offset. For a pack with 'N' objects, asking for position 'N' will return
59 * the total size (in bytes) of the pack.
61 * If the reverse index has not yet been loaded, or the position is out of
62 * bounds, this function aborts.
64 * This function runs in constant time under both in-memory and on-disk reverse
65 * indexes, but an additional step is taken to consult the corresponding .idx
66 * file when using the on-disk format.
