Mender Artifacts Library Mender is an open source over-the-air (OTA)
software updater for embedded Linux devices. Mender comprises a client
running at the embedded device, as well as a server that manages
deployments across many devices.
.
This repository contains the artifacts library, which is used by the
Mender client, command line interface, server and for build integration
with the Yocto Project.
.
The artifacts library makes it easy to programmatically work with a
Mender artifact, which is a file that can be recognized by its .mender
suffix. Mender artifacts can contain binaries, metadata, checksums,
signatures and scripts that are used during a deployment. The artifact
format acts as a wrapper, and uses the tar format to bundle several
files into one.
.
In its simplest form, an artifact contains just a rootfs image, along
with its checksum, id and device type compatibility.
.
The artifacts library might also be useful for other updaters or
purposes. We are always happy to see other uses of it!
.
