2 Title: APT Cache Specification

3 Author: Jason Gunthorpe

4 Abstract: The APT Cache Specification describes the complete implementation

5 and format of the APT Cache file. The APT Cache file is a way for APT to

6 parse and store a large number of package files for display in the UI.

7 It's primary design goal is to make display of a single package in the

8 tree very fast by pre-linking important things like dependencies and

9 provides. The specification doubles as documentation for one of the

10 in-memory structures used by the package library and the APT GUI.
