Struct BitBuffer 

pub struct BitBuffer<E>
where
    E: Endianness,
{ /* private fields */ }

Buffer that allows reading integers of arbitrary bit length and non byte-aligned integers

Examples

use bitstream_reader::{BitBuffer, LittleEndian, Result};

let bytes = vec![
    0b1011_0101, 0b0110_1010, 0b1010_1100, 0b1001_1001,
    0b1001_1001, 0b1001_1001, 0b1001_1001, 0b1110_0111
];
let buffer = BitBuffer::new(bytes, LittleEndian);
// read 7 bits as u8, starting from bit 3
let result: u8 = buffer.read_int(3, 7)?;

Implementations

impl<E> BitBuffer<E>

where E: Endianness,

pub fn new(bytes: Vec<u8>, _endianness: E) -> Self

Create a new BitBuffer from a byte vector

Examples

use bitstream_reader::{BitBuffer, LittleEndian};

let bytes = vec![
    0b1011_0101, 0b0110_1010, 0b1010_1100, 0b1001_1001,
    0b1001_1001, 0b1001_1001, 0b1001_1001, 0b1110_0111
];
let buffer = BitBuffer::new(bytes, LittleEndian);

impl<E> BitBuffer<E>

where E: Endianness,

pub fn bit_len(&self) -> usize

The available number of bits in the buffer

pub fn byte_len(&self) -> usize

The available number of bytes in the buffer

pub fn read_bool(&self, position: usize) -> Result<bool>

Read a single bit from the buffer as boolean

Errors

• ReadError::NotEnoughData: not enough bits available in the buffer

Examples

let result = buffer.read_bool(5)?;
assert_eq!(result, true);

pub fn read_int<T>(&self, position: usize, count: usize) -> Result<T>

where T: PrimInt + BitOrAssign + IsSigned + UncheckedPrimitiveInt + BitXor,

Read a sequence of bits from the buffer as integer

Errors

• ReadError::NotEnoughData: not enough bits available in the buffer
• ReadError::TooManyBits: to many bits requested for the chosen integer type

Examples

let result = buffer.read_int::<u16>(10, 9)?;
assert_eq!(result, 0b100_0110_10);

pub fn read_bytes(&self, position: usize, byte_count: usize) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Read a series of bytes from the buffer

Errors

• ReadError::NotEnoughData: not enough bits available in the buffer

Examples

assert_eq!(buffer.read_bytes(5, 3)?, &[0b0_1010_101, 0b0_1100_011, 0b1_1001_101]);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_bytes(0, 8)?, &[
    0b1011_0101, 0b0110_1010, 0b1010_1100, 0b1001_1001,
    0b1001_1001, 0b1001_1001, 0b1001_1001, 0b1110_0111
]);

pub fn read_string( &self, position: usize, byte_len: Option<usize>, ) -> Result<String>

Read a series of bytes from the buffer as string

You can either read a fixed number of bytes, or a dynamic length null-terminated string

Errors

• ReadError::NotEnoughData: not enough bits available in the buffer
• ReadError::Utf8Error: the read bytes are not valid utf8

Examples

// Fixed length string
assert_eq!(buffer.read_string(0, Some(13))?, "Hello world".to_owned());
// fixed length with null padding
assert_eq!(buffer.read_string(0, Some(16))?, "Hello world".to_owned());
// null terminated
assert_eq!(buffer.read_string(0, None)?, "Hello world".to_owned());

pub fn read_float<T>(&self, position: usize) -> Result<T>

where T: Float + UncheckedPrimitiveFloat,

Read a sequence of bits from the buffer as float

Errors

• ReadError::NotEnoughData: not enough bits available in the buffer

Examples

let result = buffer.read_float::<f32>(10)?;
