<linkname>APT Cache Specification
<filename>../apt/cache.html/index.html
<descrip>
The APT Cache Specification describes the complete implementation and 
format of the APT Cache file. The APT Cache file is a way for APT to parse 
and store a large number of package files for display in the UI. It's primary
design goal is to make display of a single package in the tree very
fast by pre-linking important things like dependencies and provides.
The specification doubles as documentation for one of the in-memory
structures used by the package library and the APT GUI.
