Struct DataView 

pub struct DataView { /* private fields */ }

Read and write data to and from the underlying byte buffer.

Operations

Each set of operations may support a try, panicking and unchecked variations, see below for more information.

• read(offset)

  Reads a (potentially unaligned) value out of the view.

• read_into(offset, dest)

  Reads a (potentially unaligned) value out of the view into the dest argument.

• get(offset)

  Gets a reference to the data given the offset. Errors if the final pointer is misaligned for the given type.

• get_mut(offset)

  Gets a mutable reference to the data given the offset. Errors if the final pointer is misaligned for the given type.

• slice(offset, len)

  Gets a slice to the data given the offset and len. Errors if the final pointer is misaligned for the given type.

• slice_mut(offset, len)

  Gets a mutable slice to the data given the offset. Errors if the final pointer is misaligned for the given type.

• write(offset, value)

  Writes a value to the view at the given offset.

Panics

Panicking methods have no prefix or suffix. They invoke the Try methods and panic if they return None.

When calling Panicking variation with an offset that ends up out of bounds or if the final pointer is misaligned for the given type the method panics with the message "invalid offset".

The relevant methods are annotated with #[track_caller] providing a useful location where the error happened.

Safety

The Unchecked methods have the _unchecked suffix and simply assume the offset is correct. This is Undefined Behavior when it results in an out of bounds read or write or if a misaligned reference is produced.

If the Try variation returns None then the Unchecked variation invokes Undefined Behavior.
