Struct BitWriter

pub struct BitWriter<W: Write, E: Endianness> { /* private fields */ }

For writing bit values to an underlying stream in a given endianness.

Because this only writes whole bytes to the underlying stream, it is important that output is byte-aligned before the bitstream writer’s lifetime ends. Partial bytes will be lost if the writer is disposed of before they can be written.

Implementations

impl<W: Write, E: Endianness> BitWriter<W, E>

pub fn new(writer: W) -> BitWriter<W, E>

Wraps a BitWriter around something that implements Write

pub fn endian(writer: W, _endian: E) -> BitWriter<W, E>

Wraps a BitWriter around something that implements Write with the given endianness.

pub fn into_writer(self) -> W

Unwraps internal writer and disposes of BitWriter.

Warning

Any unwritten partial bits are discarded.

pub fn writer(&mut self) -> Option<&mut W>

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

pub fn aligned_writer(&mut self) -> Result<&mut W>

Returns byte-aligned mutable reference to internal writer.

Bytes aligns stream if it is not already aligned.

Errors

Passes along any I/O error from the underlying stream.

pub fn into_bytewriter(self) -> ByteWriter<W, E>

Converts BitWriter to ByteWriter in the same endianness.

Warning

Any written partial bits are discarded.

pub fn bytewriter(&mut self) -> Option<ByteWriter<&mut W, E>>

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

Warning

Any unwritten bits left over when ByteWriter is dropped are lost.

pub fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flushes output stream to disk, if necessary. Any partial bytes are not flushed.

Errors

Passes along any errors from the underlying stream.

Builds and writes complex type with context

fn byte_align(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Pads the stream with 0 bits until it is aligned at a whole byte. Does nothing if the stream is already aligned.

fn write_huffman<T>(&mut self, value: T::Symbol) -> Result<()>
