Welcome to the layerslayer wiki!

"Layer Peeking" - verb;

To infer the filesystem of an SOCI container image by scanning only the targz headers, not decompressing the entire image (only enough to get the peek) and then severing the connection immediately.

Why?

• By learning the file contents before hand it is easier to predict whether the container is even worth the time/space/effort to download.
