• Ability to read bytes from any position in the file
• Uses memory-mapped files for efficiency.
• Cross-platform: Tested on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Non Features

• There is no write support yet although it may be added in the future.

Example

The example shows the file structure of the specified RIFF file.

bash,no_run cargo run --example view example.AVI

Sample output:

text,no_run LIST 'hdrl' CHUNK 'avih' offset=32 size=56 LIST 'strl' CHUNK 'strh' offset=108 size=56 CHUNK 'strf' offset=172 size=1064 CHUNK 'indx' offset=1244 size=32248 LIST 'odml' CHUNK 'dmlh' offset=33512 size=248 CHUNK 'JUNK' offset=33768 size=12 LIST 'movi' CHUNK 'ix00' offset=33800 size=32248 CHUNK '00db' offset=66056 size=3818112 CHUNK 'JUNK' offset=3884176 size=368 ... CHUNK '00db' offset=164261384 size=3818112 CHUNK 'JUNK' offset=168079504 size=368 CHUNK 'idx1' offset=168079880 size=1528
