This crate implements a type ByteSliceIter that reads bytes from a reader and allows iterating over them as slices with a maximum length, similar to the chunks method on slices.

It is implemented as a FallibleStreamingIterator so that it can reuse its buffer and not allocate for each chunk. (That trait is re-exported here for convenience.)

Example

use read_byte_slice::{ByteSliceIter, FallibleStreamingIterator};

let bytes = b"0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef";
// Iterate over the bytes in 8-byte chunks.
let mut iter = ByteSliceIter::new(&bytes[..], 8);
while let Some(chunk) = iter.next()? {
    println!("{:?}", chunk);
}
