Trait byte_slice_cast::ToByteSlice [−] [src]

pub unsafe trait ToByteSlice {
    fn as_byte_slice<'a>(&'a self) -> Result<&'a [u8], Error>;

    fn as_mut_byte_slice<'a>(&'a mut self) -> Result<&'a mut [u8], Error>;
}

Trait for converting from a slice of a fundamental, built-in numeric type to a byte slice.

Example

use byte_slice_cast::*;

let slice: [u16; 3] = [0x0102, 0x0304, 0x0506];
let converted_slice = slice.as_byte_slice().unwrap();

if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
    assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[1u8, 2u8, 3u8, 4u8, 5u8, 6u8]);
} else {
    assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[2u8, 1u8, 4u8, 3u8, 6u8, 5u8]);
}
