Enum PointerTargetKind 

pub enum PointerTargetKind {
    Chunk,
    Pointer,
}

What a pointer points at, as clients interpret it.

A node never reads this. It stores the tag as an opaque byte, so a new kind is a client-side change and not a network upgrade.

Variants

Chunk

An immutable content-addressed chunk.

Pointer

Another pointer, which is how handover-by-indirection is expressed.

Implementations

impl PointerTargetKind

pub const fn tag(self) -> u8

Wire tag for this kind.

pub const fn from_tag(tag: u8) -> Option<Self>

Interpret a wire tag, if it names a kind this build knows.

Returns None for anything else rather than an error: an unrecognised tag is a target this client cannot follow, not a malformed record.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for PointerTargetKind

fn clone(&self) -> Self

impl Ord for PointerTargetKind

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

fn clamp_to<R>(self, range: R) -> Self

where Self: Sized, R: ClampBounds<Self>,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (clamp_to)

Restrict a value to a certain range.

impl PartialEq for PointerTargetKind

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Equality operator ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Inequality operator !=.

impl PartialOrd for PointerTargetKind

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.
