Struct BigSize 

pub struct BigSize(pub u64);

Taken from rust-lightning: https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-lightning/blob/v0.0.101/lightning/src/util/ser.rs#L295

Lightning TLV uses a custom variable-length integer called BigSize. It is similar to Bitcoin’s variable-length integers except that it is serialized in big-endian instead of little-endian.

Like Bitcoin’s variable-length integer, it exhibits ambiguity in that certain values can be encoded in several different ways, which we must check for at deserialization-time. Thus, if you’re looking for an example of a variable-length integer to use for your own project, move along, this is a rather poor design.

Trait Implementations

impl Readable for BigSize

fn read<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> Result<BigSize, DecodeError>

Reads a Self in from the given Read.

impl Writeable for BigSize

fn write<W: Writer>(&self, writer: &mut W) -> Result<(), Error>

Writes self out to the given Writer.

fn encode(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Writes self out to a Vec<u8>.

fn serialized_length(&self) -> usize

Gets the length of this object after it has been serialized. This can be overridden to optimize cases where we prepend an object with its length.
