7The APT Cache Specification describes the complete implementation and
8format of the APT Cache file. The APT Cache file is a way for APT to parse
9and store a large number of package files for display in the UI. It's primary
10design goal is to make display of a single package in the tree very
11fast by pre-linking important things like dependencies and provides.
12The specification doubles as documentation for one of the in-memory
13structures used by the package library and the APT GUI.
