Module wire 

Low-level definitions for working with the wire format.

External code generally should not use things from this module; instead, prefer the stream module if you want to do lower-level streaming.

ParsedDescriptor

A Descriptor in a more structured format.

SpecialType

The interpretation of a special Descriptor.

Functions

decode_descriptor

Read a descriptor from the given input.

decode_i64

Decode a 64-bit integer and then unZigZag it to a signed value.

decode_u64

Decode an unsigned integer from the given input, parsing up to 64 bits.

encode_descriptor

Write a descriptor to the given output.

encode_fixed_u64

Encodes an unsigned 64-bit integer to the given output.

encode_i64

ZigZag the given signed 64-bit integer to unsigned format, then write it to the given output.

encode_u64

Encode an unsigned 64-bit integer to the given output.

unzigzag

Invert zigzag.

zigzag

ZigZag the given signed 64-bit integer into the unsigned storage format.
