pub struct BitReader<R: Read, E: Endianness> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

For reading non-aligned bits from a stream of bytes in a given endianness.

This will read exactly as many whole bytes needed to return the requested number of bits. It may cache up to a single partial byte but no more.

Implementations

Wraps a BitReader around something that implements Read

Wraps a BitReader around something that implements Read with the given endianness.

Unwraps internal reader and disposes of BitReader.

Warning

Any unread partial bits are discarded.

If stream is byte-aligned, provides mutable reference to internal reader. Otherwise returns None

Converts BitReader to ByteReader in the same endianness.

Warning

Any unread partial bits are discarded.

If stream is byte-aligned, provides temporary ByteReader in the same endianness. Otherwise returns None

Warning

Any reader bits left over when ByteReader is dropped are lost.

Consumes reader and returns any un-read partial byte as a (bits, value) tuple.

Examples
use std::io::{Read, Cursor};
use bitstream_io::{BigEndian, BitReader, BitRead};
let data = [0b1010_0101, 0b0101_1010];
let mut reader = BitReader::endian(Cursor::new(&data), BigEndian);
assert_eq!(reader.read::<u16>(9).unwrap(), 0b1010_0101_0);
let (bits, value) = reader.into_unread();
assert_eq!(bits, 7);
assert_eq!(value, 0b101_1010);
use std::io::{Read, Cursor};
use bitstream_io::{BigEndian, BitReader, BitRead};
let data = [0b1010_0101, 0b0101_1010];
let mut reader = BitReader::endian(Cursor::new(&data), BigEndian);
assert_eq!(reader.read::<u16>(8).unwrap(), 0b1010_0101);
let (bits, value) = reader.into_unread();
assert_eq!(bits, 0);
assert_eq!(value, 0);
Example

let pos = reader.seek_bits(SeekFrom::Current(-2)).unwrap();
assert!(pos == 3 && 3 == reader.position_in_bits().unwrap());    ///

let pos = reader.seek_bits(SeekFrom::End(5)).unwrap();
assert!(pos == 11 && 11 == reader.position_in_bits().unwrap());
