Struct Sequence

pub struct Sequence;

A sequential byte layout for AsBytes and FromBytes implementors.

The layout is aligned like a sequence of u64, where we repeatedly announce a length, and then follow it by that many bytes. We may need to follow this with padding bytes. Encodes and decodes bytes sequences, by prepending the length and appending the all sequences.

Trait Implementations

impl EncodeDecode for Sequence

fn length_in_words<'a, A>(bytes: &A) -> usize

where A: AsBytes<'a>,

Encoded length in number of u64 words required.

fn encode<'a, A>(store: &mut Vec<u64>, bytes: &A)

where A: AsBytes<'a>,

Encodes bytes into a sequence of u64.

fn write<'a, A, W: Write>(writer: W, bytes: &A) -> Result<()>

where A: AsBytes<'a>,

Writes bytes in the encoded format to an arbitrary writer.

fn decode<'a>(store: &'a [u64]) -> impl Iterator<Item = &'a [u8]>

Decodes bytes from a sequence of u64.

fn length_in_bytes<'a, A>(bytes: &A) -> usize

where A: AsBytes<'a>,

Encoded length in number of u8 bytes required.
