pub struct Prefix { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An partial owned hash possibly identifying an object uniquely, whose non-prefix bytes are zeroed.

Implementations§

The smallest allowed prefix length below which chances for collisions are too high even in small repositories.

Create a new instance by taking a full id as input and truncating it to hex_len.

For instance, with hex_len of 7 the resulting prefix is 3.5 bytes, or 3 bytes and 4 bits wide, with all other bytes and bits set to zero.

Returns the prefix as object id.

Note that it may be deceptive to use given that it looks like a full object id, even though its post-prefix bytes/bits are set to zero.

Return the amount of hexadecimal characters that are set in the prefix.

This gives the prefix a granularity of 4 bits.

Provided with candidate id which is a full hash, determine how this prefix compares to it, only looking at the prefix bytes, ignoring everything behind that.

Create an instance from the given hexadecimal prefix value, e.g. 35e77c16 would yield a Prefix with hex_len() = 8.
