Crate rwutil

Read/Write traits for reading common formats like length-prefixed packets.

rwutils handles a few common formats of binary data:

• C-style strings, that is 0-terminated sequences of non-zero bytes inside the bytes0 module. Check its docs for examples of reading Strings.
• Length prefixed packets, a u8/u16/u32/u64 of the number of bytes to read, followed by the actual data. See length_prefix.

All readers are implemented as additional traits for the io::Read and io::Write. After using them, additional methods become available on these types.

Please read the notes regarding security in module as well, especially if you are handling untrusted user input.
