Function msb128::write_positive

pub fn write_positive<W, I>(writer: W, input: I) -> Result<usize, WriteError> where
    W: Write,
    I: PrimInt, 

Write val to the std::io::Write stream w as an MSB128-encoded integer.

Errors

Only positive integers are supported. A negative input causes the function to return with a WriteError::Negative.

Returns

After a successful write, the number of bytes written to w is returned.

Examples

Writing a u8 and an i128 into three bytes.

use msb128::{write_positive, read_positive};

let mut buffer = [0u8; 3];
let mut writeable = &mut buffer[..];

let bytes_written = write_positive(&mut writeable, 127u8)?;
assert_eq!(bytes_written, 1);

let bytes_written = write_positive(&mut writeable, 256i128)?;
assert_eq!(bytes_written, 2);

let mut readable = &buffer[..];
assert_eq!(127u8, read_positive(&mut readable)?);
assert_eq!(256u16, read_positive(&mut readable)?);
}
