See Also	_check_name_encoding

def _check_name_encoding(name):

Check that 'name' is valid UTF-8.

This is separate from _check_name because UTF-8 decoding is relatively expensive, and we usually want to avoid it.

Raises InvalidRecordError if name is not valid UTF-8.

def make_readv_reader(transport, filename, requested_records):

Create a ContainerReader that will read selected records only.

Parameters	transport	The transport the pack file is located on.
	filename	The filename of the pack file.
	requested_records	The record offset, length tuples as returned by add_bytes_record for the desired records.
