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 primaryã 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.
