Module scale_bits::scale

This module exposes some utilities for working with SCALE bit sequences, namely:

• Encoding: see encode_using_format and encode_using_format_to.
• Decoding: see decode_using_format_from.
• Talking about obtaining the format of said bit sequences: see the format module.

The Decoder enum can also return the expected number of bytes to be decoded and the number of bits to be returned without actually decoding them.

Re-exports

• pub use format::Format;

Modules

• format
  Ths module defines a Format, which is basically a StoreFormat and an OrderFormat and describes the different possible wire formats of a bit sequence.

Structs

• Decoder
  This is handed back from decode_using_format_from, and can be used to obtain some information about, or iterate over, the SCALE encoded bit sequence, using the Format given. Alternately, you can match on it to retrieve a decoder for the specific format, which may be more efficient.

Functions

• decode_using_format_from
  SCALE decode a bit sequence using the given format, handing back an iterator of booleans.
• encode_using_format
  This is a convenience wrapper around encode_using_format_to.
• encode_using_format_to
  SCALE encode an iterator of booleans with a known size into a bit sequence using the given format.
