Struct dicom_core::header::Length

pub struct Length(pub u32);

A type for representing data set content length, in bytes. An internal value of 0xFFFF_FFFF represents an undefined (unspecified) length, which would have to be determined with a traversal based on the content’s encoding.

This also means that numeric comparisons and arithmetic do not function the same way as primitive number types:

Two length of undefined length are not equal.

assert_ne!(Length::UNDEFINED, Length::UNDEFINED);

Any addition or substraction with at least one undefined length results in an undefined length.

assert!((Length::defined(64) + Length::UNDEFINED).is_undefined());
assert!((Length::UNDEFINED + 8).is_undefined());

Comparing between at least one undefined length is always false.

assert!(Length::defined(16) < Length::defined(64));
assert!(!(Length::UNDEFINED < Length::defined(64)));
assert!(!(Length::UNDEFINED > Length::defined(64)));

assert!(!(Length::UNDEFINED < Length::UNDEFINED));
assert!(!(Length::UNDEFINED > Length::UNDEFINED));
assert!(!(Length::UNDEFINED <= Length::UNDEFINED));
assert!(!(Length::UNDEFINED >= Length::UNDEFINED));

Implementations

impl Length

pub const UNDEFINED: Self

A length that is undefined.

pub fn new(len: u32) -> Self

Create a new length value from its internal representation. This is equivalent to Length(len).

pub fn defined(len: u32) -> Self

Create a new length value with the given number of bytes.

Panic

This function will panic if len represents an undefined length.

impl Length

pub fn is_undefined(self) -> bool

Check whether this length is undefined (unknown).

pub fn is_defined(self) -> bool

Check whether this length is well defined (not undefined).

pub fn get(self) -> Option<u32>

Fetch the concrete length value, if available. Returns None if it represents an undefined length.

pub fn inner_eq(self, other: Length) -> bool

Check whether the length is equally specified as another length. Unlike the implemented PartialEq, two undefined lengths are considered equivalent by this method.
