Struct MasterBootRecord 

pub struct MasterBootRecord { /* private fields */ }

A struct representing an MBR partition table.

Implementations

impl MasterBootRecord

pub fn from_bytes<T: AsRef<[u8]>>( bytes: &T, ) -> Result<MasterBootRecord, MbrError>

Parses the MBR table from a raw byte buffer.

Throws an error in the following cases:

• BufferWrongSizeError if bytes.len() is less than 512
• InvalidMBRSuffix if the final 2 bytes in bytes are not [0x55, 0xaa]
• UnsupportedPartitionError if the MBR contains a tag that the crate does not recognize

pub fn serialize<T: AsMut<[u8]>>( &self, buffer: &mut T, ) -> Result<usize, MbrError>

Serializes this MBR partition table to a raw byte buffer. Throws an error in the following cases:

• BufferWrongSizeError if buffer.len() is less than 512

Note that it only affects the partition table itself, which only appears starting from byte 446 of the MBR; no bytes before this are affected, even though it is still necessary to pass a full 512 byte buffer.

Trait Implementations

impl PartitionTable for MasterBootRecord

fn size(&self) -> usize

The size of the partition table itself, in bytes.

fn partition_table_entries(&self) -> &[PartitionTableEntry]

The entries in this table.
