[−][src]Trait tari_utilities::byte_array::ByteArray

pub trait ByteArray: Sized {
    fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, ByteArrayError>;
    fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8];

    fn to_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8> { ... }
    fn from_vec(v: &Vec<u8>) -> Result<Self, ByteArrayError> { ... }
}

Many of the types in this crate are just large numbers (256 bit usually). This trait provides the common functionality for types like secret keys, signatures, commitments etc. to be converted to and from byte arrays and hexadecimal formats.

Required methods

`fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, ByteArrayError>`

Try and convert the given byte array to the implemented type. Any failures (incorrect array length, implementation-specific checks, etc) return a ByteArrayError.
