Function airmash_protocol::from_bytes

pub fn from_bytes<'a, T>(b: &'a [u8]) -> Result<T, Error> where
    T: Deserialize<'a>, 

Deserializes a struct from a byte buffer, and returns an Error when the bytes cannot be deserialized to the given type.

Example

// Bytes representing an Ack packet
let bytes = [ 5 ];
 
// Decode the packet
let ack = from_bytes::<ClientPacket>(&bytes).unwrap();
 
// Do stuff with packet here...
match ack {
    Ack => return,
    _ => panic!("This wasn't an ack packet!")
}

Error Example

// An incomplete ChatPublic packet.
// In this case, the packet is too short.
let bytes = [ 70 ];
 
// Try to decode the packet
let result = from_bytes::<ChatPublic>(&bytes);
 
// Do something with the error here...
match result {
    Ok(_) => panic!("Unexpected success!"),
    Err(err) => return
}
