Struct ExternalPort 

pub struct ExternalPort {
    pub node: Atom,
    pub id: u64,
    pub creation: u32,
    pub local_ext_bytes: Option<Bytes>,
}

Represents an Erlang port originating from a remote node.

Like PIDs, ports can be encoded via LOCAL_EXT. The local_ext_bytes field preserves the original encoding for transparent re-encoding.

Note: The local_ext_bytes field is excluded from equality, hash, and ordering comparisons.

Fields

node: Atom

id: u64

creation: u32

local_ext_bytes: Option<Bytes>

If this port was decoded from LOCAL_EXT, this contains the hash (8 bytes) and nested term bytes for transparent re-encoding.

Uses Bytes for efficient zero-copy cloning of frequently-decoded terms.

Implementations

impl ExternalPort

pub fn new(node: Atom, id: u64, creation: u32) -> Self

pub fn with_local_ext_bytes( node: Atom, id: u64, creation: u32, local_ext_bytes: impl Into<Bytes>, ) -> Self

Creates a new port with preserved LOCAL_EXT bytes.

Accepts any type that can be converted to Bytes (e.g., Vec<u8>, &[u8], Bytes).

pub fn is_local_ext(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this port was decoded from LOCAL_EXT encoding.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ExternalPort

fn clone(&self) -> ExternalPort

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ExternalPort

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for ExternalPort

fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for ExternalPort

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for ExternalPort

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for ExternalPort

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
