The mender-artifact tool is a CLI implementation of the | |
Mender artifacts library. | |
A Mender artifact can be recognized by its .mender suffix. | |
Mender artifacts can contain binaries, metadata, checksums, | |
signatures and scripts that are used during a deployment. | |
The artifact format acts as a wrapper, and uses the tar | |
format to bundle several files into one. | |
In its simplest form, an artifact contains just a rootfs | |
image, along with its checksum, id and device type | |
compatibility. | |
