Struct BitstreamWriter 

pub struct BitstreamWriter { /* private fields */ }

Writes individual bits or multi-bit fields into a byte buffer.

Bits are packed MSB-first within each byte. Call flush to finalise and retrieve the completed buffer.

Implementations

impl BitstreamWriter

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates an empty BitstreamWriter.

pub fn write_bit(&mut self, bit: bool)

Writes a single bit. true → 1, false → 0.

pub fn write_bits(&mut self, value: u64, count: u8)

Writes the lowest count bits of value, most-significant bit first.

count must be in 1..=64.

pub fn write_byte(&mut self, byte: u8)

Writes all 8 bits of byte, MSB first.

pub fn flush(self) -> Vec<u8>

Flushes any partially-assembled byte (zero-padded on the LSB side) and returns the completed buffer.

pub fn bits_written(&self) -> u64

Returns the total number of bits written so far (including bits in the current partial byte).

pub fn bytes_used(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of complete bytes in the buffer (excluding any partial byte currently being assembled).

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for BitstreamWriter

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
