+# go-mtree
+
+`mtree` is a filesystem hierarchy validation tooling and format.
+This is a library and simple cli tool for [mtree(8)][mtree(8)] support.
+
+While the traditional `mtree` cli utility is primarily on BSDs (FreeBSD,
+openBSD, etc), but even broader support for the `mtree` specification format is
+provided with libarchive ([libarchive-formats(5)][libarchive-formats(5)]).
+
+There is also an [mtree port for Linux][archiecobbs/mtree-port] though it is
+not widely packaged for Linux distributions.
+
+
+## Format
+
+The format of hierarchy specification is consistent with the `# mtree v2.0`
+format.  Both the BSD `mtree` and libarchive ought to be interoperable with it
+with only one definite caveat.  On Linux, extended attributes (`xattr`) on
+files are often a critical aspect of the file, holding ACLs, capabilities, etc.
+While FreeBSD filesystem do support `extattr`, this feature has not made its
+way into their `mtree`.
+
+This implementation of mtree supports an additional "keyword" of `xattr`. If
+you include this keyword, then the FreeBSD `mtree` will fail as it is an
+unknown keyword to that implementation.
+
+
+### Typical form
+
+With the standard keywords, plus say `sha256digest`, the hierarchy
+specification looks like:
+
+```mtree
+# .
+/set type=file nlink=1 mode=0664 uid=1000 gid=100
+. size=4096 type=dir mode=0755 nlink=6 time=1459370393.273231538
+    LICENSE size=1502 mode=0644 time=1458851690.0 sha256digest=ef4e53d83096be56dc38dbf9bc8ba9e3068bec1ec37c179033d1e8f99a1c2a95
+    README.md size=2820 mode=0644 time=1459370256.316148361 sha256digest=d9b955134d99f84b17c0a711ce507515cc93cd7080a9dcd50400e3d993d876ac
+
+[...]
+```
+
+See the directory presently in, and the files present. Along with each
+path, is provided the keywords and the unique values for each path. Any common
+keyword and values are established in the `/set` command.
+
+
+### Extended attributes form
+
+```mtree
+# .
+/set type=file nlink=1 mode=0664 uid=1000 gid=1000
+. size=4096 type=dir mode=0775 nlink=6 time=1459370191.11179595 xattr.security.selinux=6b53fb56e2e61a6c6d672817791db03ebe693748
+    LICENSE size=1502 time=1458851690.583562292 xattr.security.selinux=6b53fb56e2e61a6c6d672817791db03ebe693748
+    README.md size=2366 mode=0644 time=1459369604.0 xattr.security.selinux=6b53fb56e2e61a6c6d672817791db03ebe693748
+
+[...]
+```
+
+See the keyword prefixed with `xattr.` followed by the extended attribute's
+namespace and keyword. This setup is consistent for use with Linux extended
+attributes as well as FreeBSD extended attributes.
+
+Since extended attributes are an unordered hashmap, this approach allows for
+checking each `<namespace>.<key>` individually.
+
+The value is the [SHA1 digest][sha1] of the value of the particular extended
+attribute. Since the values themselves could be raw bytes, this approach both
+avoids issues with encoding, as well as issues of information leaking. The
+designation of SHA1 is arbitrary and seen as a general "good enough" assertion
+of the value.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the Go programming language library, see [the docs][godoc].
+
+To use the command line tool, first [build it](#Building), then the following.
+
+
+### Create a manifest
+
+This will also include the sha512 digest of the files.
+
+```bash
+gomtree -c -K sha512digest -p . > /tmp/mtree.txt
+```
+
+### Validate a manifest
+
+```bash
+gomtree -p . -f /tmp/mtree.txt
+```
+
+### See the supported keywords
+
+```bash
+gomtree -l
+```
+
+
+## Building
+
+Either:
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/vbatts/go-mtree/cmd/gomtree
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+git clone git://github.com/vbatts/go-mtree.git
+cd ./go-mtree/cmd/gomtree
+go build .
+```
