igelfs 2.11.1

Python implementation of the IGEL filesystem.

igelfs

Python implementation of the IGEL filesystem.

Description

igelfs provides various data models and methods to interact with an IGEL filesystem image.

igelfs.models contains several dataclasses to represent data structures within the filesystem.

Generally, for handling reading from a file/device, use igelfs.Filesystem, which provides methods to obtain sections and access the data structures within them, in an object-oriented way. Filesystem also provides simple methods to write bytes/sections.

A command-line interface is also provided for common filesystem operations.
