* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it
prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash
went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my
/var/run/current-system).
significantly cuts down the number of syscalls (e.g., for "nix-store
-qR /var/run/current-system" via the daemon, it reduced the number
of syscalls in the client from 29134 to 4766 and in the daemon from
44266 to 20666).
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes.
* Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives.
* Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that
isn't a NAR archive.
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The
server forks a worker process per connection.
* readString(): use the heap, not the stack.
* Some protocol fixes.
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
implementation.
