Function parse_file 

pub fn parse_file<T: Descriptor>(content: &[u8]) -> Result<T, Error>

Parses a descriptor from file content with automatic decompression.

This function handles the common case of reading a descriptor from a file:

1. Automatically decompresses the content if compressed
2. Strips any @type annotation from the beginning
3. Parses the descriptor using the type’s parse method

Type Parameters

• T - The descriptor type to parse (must implement Descriptor)

Arguments

• content - The raw file content (possibly compressed)

Returns

The parsed descriptor.

Errors

Returns Error::Parse if:

• Decompression fails
• The content is not valid UTF-8
• The descriptor content is malformed

Example

use stem_rs::descriptor::{parse_file, ServerDescriptor};

let content = std::fs::read("cached-descriptors").unwrap();
let descriptor: ServerDescriptor = parse_file(&content).unwrap();
println!("Parsed descriptor for: {}", descriptor.nickname);
