Struct Pointer

pub struct Pointer { /* private fields */ }

Pointer, a mutable address pointing to other data on the Network It is stored at the owner’s public key and can only be updated by the owner

Implementations

impl Pointer

pub fn new(owner: &SecretKey, counter: u64, target: PointerTarget) -> Self

Create a new pointer, signing it with the provided secret key. This pointer would be stored on the network at the provided key’s public key. There can only be one pointer at a time at the same address (one per key).

pub fn new_with_signature( owner: PublicKey, counter: u64, target: PointerTarget, signature: Signature, ) -> Self

Create a new pointer with an existing signature

pub fn address(&self) -> PointerAddress

Get the address of the pointer

pub fn owner(&self) -> &PublicKey

Get the owner of the pointer

pub fn target(&self) -> &PointerTarget

Get the target of the pointer

pub fn bytes_for_signature(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Get the bytes that were signed for this pointer

pub fn xorname(&self) -> XorName

pub fn counter(&self) -> u64

Get the counter of the pointer, the higher the counter, the more recent the pointer is Similarly to counter CRDTs only the latest version (highest counter) of the pointer is kept on the network

pub fn verify_signature(&self) -> bool

Verifies if the pointer has a valid signature

pub fn size() -> usize

Size of the pointer

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Pointer

fn clone(&self) -> Pointer

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Pointer

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Pointer

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Ord for Pointer

fn cmp(&self, other: &Pointer) -> 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,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

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

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for Pointer

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

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for Pointer

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Pointer) -> 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.

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

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

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

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

impl Serialize for Pointer

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
