Function try_encode

pub fn try_encode(
    source: &[u8],
    dest: &mut [u8],
) -> Result<usize, DestBufTooSmallError>

Attempts to encode the source buffer into the dest buffer.

This function assumes the typical sentinel value of 0, but does not terminate the encoded message with the sentinel value. This should be done by the caller to ensure proper framing.

Returns

The number of bytes written to in the dest buffer.

If the destination buffer does not have enough room, an error will be returned.
