RDAR

RDAR stands for Reduced Disk Archive Format and serves to be a minimal bundle format (similar to tar) for various applications, primarily operating system initial ramdisks. RDAR does not intend to replace existing formats and instead aims to provide a potential alternative to them for minimalists.

Building

Simply run make and that's it !!

Format

The format is simple:

   0: root [points to root data region (rdr)]
  /
 /
0~  [DATA DESCRIPTOR] ---------+ OFFSET
1~  [DATA DESCRIPTOR] -------- |---+ OFFSET
2~  [FILE]  <------------------+   |
3~  [FILE]  <----------------------+
