Struct Writer

pub struct Writer<T> { /* private fields */ }

A cursor like utility that writes structured data into an arbitrary target.

The target must implement the PutBytes trait which supports writing binary data into it.

Implementations

impl<T: PutBytes> Writer<T>

pub fn new(target: T) -> Writer<T>

Creates a new Writer instance.

The target, where the writer puts the binary data, is passed to the function. Every type, that implements the PutBytes trait can be the target of this writer.

pub fn write<TB: ToBytes>(&mut self, value: &TB) -> Result<usize, Error>

Serializes a data structure that implements the ToBytes trait.

Returns the number of bytes actually serialized.

pub fn into_target(self) -> T

Consumes this Writer, returning the underlying target.

Trait Implementations

impl<T> AsRef<T> for Writer<T>

fn as_ref(&self) -> &T

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<T: Debug> Debug for Writer<T>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
