Function blobby::encode_blobs [−][src]
pub fn encode_blobs<'a, I, T: 'a>(blobs: &'a I) -> (Vec<u8>, usize) where
&'a I: IntoIterator<Item = &'a T>,
T: AsRef<[u8]>, Expand description
Encode the given collection of binary blobs in .blb format into writer.
Returns the encoded data together with a count of the number of blobs included in the index.
The encoded file format is:
- count of index entries=N
- N x index entries, each encoded as:
- size L of index entry (VLQ)
- index blob contents (L bytes)
- repeating encoded blobs, each encoded as:
- VLQ value that is either:
- (J << 1) & 0x01: indicates this blob is index entry J
- (L << 1) & 0x00: indicates an explicit blob of len L
- (in the latter case) explicit blob contents (L bytes)
- VLQ value that is either:
