xref-repaired

All codes

  • Type: warning
  • Kind: input (the input is malformed beyond what tolerance repairs)

What happened

The stored cross-reference data was unusable and was rebuilt by scanning the file.

Why

Edited, truncated or concatenated files often have stale offsets (ADR 0003 §1).

How to fix

Nothing, if the result is right. Incremental saves refuse a repaired base (repaired-base); save in full instead.

Example

startxref
123456
%%EOF

startxref points past the end of a file that was truncated and re-padded. lamina scans the file for n g obj headers, rebuilds the table, raises xref-repaired and opens normally. save(SaveMode::Incremental) is then refused with repaired-base; SaveMode::Auto rewrites the file.

Data fields

None.
