Trait ByteOrder

trait ByteOrder: Clone + Copy + Debug + Default + Eq + Hash + Ord + PartialEq + PartialOrd + private::Sealed

ByteOrder describes types that can serialize integers as bytes.

Note that Self does not appear anywhere in this trait's definition! Therefore, in order to use it, you'll need to use syntax like T::read_u16(&[0, 1]) where T implements ByteOrder.

This crate provides two types that implement ByteOrder: BigEndian and LittleEndian. This trait is sealed and cannot be implemented for callers to avoid breaking backwards compatibility when adding new derived traits.

Examples

Write and read u32 numbers in little endian order:

use byteorder::{ByteOrder, LittleEndian};

let mut buf = [0; 4];
LittleEndian::write_u32(&mut buf, 1_000_000);
assert_eq!(1_000_000, LittleEndian::read_u32(&buf));

Write and read i16 numbers in big endian order:

use byteorder::{ByteOrder, BigEndian};

let mut buf = [0; 2];
BigEndian::write_i16(&mut buf, -5_000);
assert_eq!(-5_000, BigEndian::read_i16(&buf));

fn write_i8_into(src: &[i8], dst: &mut [u8])

Writes signed 8 bit integers from src into dst.

Note that since each i8 is a single byte, no byte order conversions are used. This method is included because it provides a safe, simple way for the caller to write from a &[i8] buffer. (Without this method, the caller would have to either use unsafe code or convert each byte to u8 individually.)

Panics

Panics when buf.len() != src.len().

use byteorder::{ByteOrder, LittleEndian, ReadBytesExt};
