1 | The layerindexlib module is designed to permit programs to work directly | ||
2 | with layer index information. (See layers.openembedded.org...) | ||
3 | |||
4 | The layerindexlib module includes a plugin interface that is used to extend | ||
5 | the basic functionality. There are two primary plugins available: restapi | ||
6 | and cooker. | ||
7 | |||
8 | The restapi plugin works with a web based REST Api compatible with the | ||
9 | layerindex-web project, as well as the ability to store and retried a | ||
10 | the information for one or more files on the disk. | ||
11 | |||
12 | The cooker plugin works by reading the information from the current build | ||
13 | project and processing it as if it were a layer index. | ||
