## HDLC Framing Description
> Only frames the data. Rust implementation of a High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) library with support of the IEEE standard.
* [Crate](https://crates.io/crates/hdlc)
* [Documentation](https://docs.rs/hdlc/)
* [Usage](#usage)

## Usage
Add `hdlc` to `Cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
hdlc = "^0.3.0"
```
or
```toml
[dependencies.hdlc]
git = "https://github.com/CLomanno/hdlc"
```
### Encode packet
```rust
use hdlc::{SpecialChars, encode};
// Set up your vector of bytes and generate your Special Characters
let msg: Vec<u8> = vec![0x01, 0x50, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09];
let cmp: Vec<u8> = vec![0x7E, 0x01, 0x50, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09, 0x7E];
// Encode your message
let result = encode(&msg, SpecialChars::default());
assert!(result.is_ok());
assert_eq!(result.unwrap(), cmp);
```
### Custom Special Characters
```rust
use hdlc::{SpecialChars, encode};
// Set up your vector of bytes and generate your Special Characters
let msg: Vec<u8> = vec![0x01, 0x7E, 0x70, 0x50, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09];
let cmp: Vec<u8> = vec![0x71, 0x01, 0x7E, 0x70, 0x50, 0x50, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09, 0x71];
let chars = SpecialChars::new(0x71, 0x70, 0x51, 0x50);
// Encode your message
let result = encode(&msg, chars);
assert!(result.is_ok());
assert_eq!(result.unwrap(), cmp)
```
### Decode packet
```rust
use hdlc::{SpecialChars, decode};
// Set up your vector of bytes and generate your Special Characters
let msg: Vec<u8> = vec![
chars.fend, 0x01, 0x50, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09, chars.fend,
];
let cmp: Vec<u8> = vec![0x01, 0x50, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09];
// Decode your message
let result = decode(&msg, chars);
assert!(result.is_ok());
assert_eq!(result.unwrap(), cmp);
```
### Decode slice packet
```rust
use hdlc::{SpecialChars, decode_slice};
// Set up your mutable slice of bytes and generate your Special Characters
let chars = SpecialChars::default();
let mut msg = [
chars.fend, 0x01, 0x50, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09, chars.fend,
];
let cmp = [0x01, 0x50, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x05, 0x80, 0x09];
// Decode your slice
let result = decode_slice(&mut msg, chars);
assert!(result.is_ok());
assert_eq!(result.unwrap(), cmp);
```
