// Package txtar implements a trivial text-based file archive format.
//
// The goals for the format are:
//
// - be trivial enough to create and edit by hand.
// - be able to store trees of text files describing go command test cases.
// - diff nicely in git history and code reviews.
//
// Non-goals include being a completely general archive format,
// storing binary data, storing file modes, storing special files like
// symbolic links, and so on.
//
// Txtar format
//
// A txtar archive is zero or more comment lines and then a sequence of file entries.
// Each file entry begins with a file marker line of the form "-- FILENAME --"
// and is followed by zero or more file content lines making up the file data.
// The comment or file content ends at the next file marker line.
// The file marker line must begin with the three-byte sequence "-- "
// and end with the three-byte sequence " --", but the enclosed
// file name can be surrounding by additional white space,
// all of which is stripped.
//
// If the txtar file is missing a trailing newline on the final line,
// parsers should consider a final newline to be present anyway.
//
// There are no possible syntax errors in a txtar archive.
