# Module ethcore::snapshot::io [−] [src]

Snapshot i/o. Ways of writing and reading snapshots. This module supports writing and reading snapshots of two different formats: packed and loose. Packed snapshots are written to a single file, and loose snapshots are written to multiple files in one directory.

## Structs

LooseReader | reader for "loose" snapshots
LooseWriter | A "loose" writer writes chunk files into a directory.
PackedReader | Packed snapshot reader.
PackedWriter | A packed snapshot writer. This writes snapshots to a single concatenated file.

## Traits

SnapshotWriter | Something which can write snapshots. Writing the same chunk multiple times will lead to implementation-defined behavior, and is not advised.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
