Trait BufferSerializer

pub trait BufferSerializer: Sized {
    // Required method
    fn serialize(&self, buf: &mut &[u8]) -> Result<usize>;
}

A trait for serializing objects to an octet buffer.

Required Methods

fn serialize(&self, buf: &mut &[u8]) -> Result<usize>

Serializes self into the given mutable octet buffer.

Parameters

• buf: A mutable reference to a octet slice that will be populated with serialized data.

Returns

This method returns a Result<usize>, which is:

• Ok(usize) representing the number of octets written to the buffer on success.
• Err(io::Error) if serialization fails, which could occur due to issues with writing to the buffer.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
