Function streamvbyte::decode_delta

pub fn decode_delta(input: &[u8], output: &mut [u32], initial: u32) -> usize

Decode a sequence of non decreasing u32 integers from a vbyte encoded byte representation into an existing buffer output.

Arguments

• input - The input sequence of vbyte encoding (u8s)
• output - The output buf to store the recovered non decreasing u32 integers. MUST be the same size as the original input sequence
• initial - The intial value thaw was substract from the all the value in the array during encoding.

Examples

use streamvbyte::{max_compressedbytes,encode_delta,decode_delta};
let input = vec![1,2,44,5123,43,534];
let out_buf = encode_delta(&input,1);
let mut recovered = vec![0;6];
let bytes_read = decode_delta(&out_buf,&mut recovered,1);
assert_eq!(bytes_read,out_buf.len());

Return

Returns the number of bytes processed from input during decoding
