Subject: [alpine-devel] apk-tools - In need of a minimal spec

I have began reading through the apk-tools source code with the goal of
teaching myself more about how package managers work by porting
it into go-lang. I would appreciate help compiling some minimally
sufficient specification for this.

I ask for your help because I have had little luck finding any kind of
documentation, design thoughts, comments, or self describing
functions/variables. Let me know what the easiest means of discussion
would be.

# Stuff I Found Confusing
 * blob.c
	* memspn()
	* memcspn()
	* apk_blob_spn()
	* apk_blob_cspn()
	* digitdecode & dx()
		- is data taken, encoded with your own custom codec and
		  then put into a blow?
 * archive.c & gunzip.c
	* is the tar and gzip code used custom or pulled from existing
	  implementations?

Thank you for your time.
