Trait Endian

pub trait Endian

Represents values that can swap their bytes to reverse their endianness.

Supports converting values in-place using swap_bytes or [convert_current_to_little_endian]: Supports converting while transferring ownership using from_little_endian_into_current or from_current_into_little_endian.

For the types u8, i8, &[u8] and &[i8], this trait will never transform any data, as they are just implemented for completeness.

Required Methods

fn swap_bytes(&mut self)

Swaps all bytes in this value, inverting its endianness.

Provided Methods

fn convert_current_to_little_endian(&mut self)

On a little endian machine, this does nothing. On a big endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn convert_current_to_big_endian(&mut self)

On a big endian machine, this does nothing. On a little endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn convert_little_endian_to_current(&mut self)

On a little endian machine, this does nothing. On a big endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn convert_big_endian_to_current(&mut self)

On a big endian machine, this does nothing. On a little endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn from_current_into_little_endian(self) -> Self
where
    Self: Sized,

On a little endian machine, this does nothing. On a big endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn from_current_into_big_endian(self) -> Self
where
    Self: Sized,

On a big endian machine, this does nothing. On a little endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn from_little_endian_into_current(self) -> Self
where
    Self: Sized,

On a little endian machine, this does nothing. On a big endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.

fn from_big_endian_into_current(self) -> Self
where
    Self: Sized,

On a big endian machine, this does nothing. On a little endian machine, the bytes of this value are reversed.
