1 // Package sequential provides a set of functions for managing sequential 2 // files on Windows. 3 // 4 // The origin of these functions are the golang OS and windows packages, 5 // slightly modified to only cope with files, not directories due to the 6 // specific use case. 7 // 8 // The alteration is to allow a file on Windows to be opened with 9 // FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN (particular for docker load), to avoid eating 10 // the standby list, particularly when accessing large files such as layer.tar. 11 // 12 // For non-Windows platforms, the package provides wrappers for the equivalents 13 // in the os packages. They are passthrough on Unix platforms, and only relevant 14 // on Windows. 15 package sequential 16
