Trait bencode_decoder::BElement [−] [src]

pub trait BElement<T> where
    T: BElement<T>, {
    fn decode(encoded: &[u8]) -> Result<(usize, T), &'static str>;
}

Trait for all bencode elements.

Provides way to decode some type of element T, which must have trait BElement, from array of bytes

Examples

Simple implementation.

use bencode_decoder::BElement;

struct BExample {
    e: i8,
}

impl BElement<BExample> for BExample {
    fn decode(encoded: &[u8]) -> Result<(usize, BExample), &'static str> {
        Err("No implementation, sorry")
    }
}

Required Methods

Decodes element from array of bytes.

Returns Ok((position of last used byte in array of bytes, parsed element)) or Err if parse has failed.
