Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`clearMeta(java.lang.String role)`	Generic method to remove meta, useful when keys rotated in root.
`java.lang.String`	`getIdentifier()`	A generic string for identifying the local store in debug messages.
`void`	`writeMeta(java.lang.String roleName, SignedTufMeta<? extends TufMeta> meta)`	Generic method to store one of the `SignedTufMeta` resources in the local tuf store.

readMeta

- Method Detail
  - getIdentifier
```
java.lang.String getIdentifier()
```
    A generic string for identifying the local store in debug messages. A file system based implementation might return the path being used for storage, while an in-memory store may just return something like 'in-memory'.
  - writeMeta
```
void writeMeta(java.lang.String roleName,
               SignedTufMeta<? extends TufMeta> meta)
        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Generic method to store one of the SignedTufMeta resources in the local tuf store.
    
    Parameters:
    
    roleName - the name of the role
    
    meta - the metadata to store
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if writing the resource causes an IO error
  - clearMeta
```
void clearMeta(java.lang.String role)
        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Generic method to remove meta, useful when keys rotated in root. Deletion is not optional, implementers must ensure meta is removed from the storage medium.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - implementations that read/write IO to clear the data may throw IOException
