Module tobytcp::protocol

Includes methods for generating the tobytcp prefix, or attempting to decode the length of the encoded data i.e. payload, from a buffer.

Examples

Getting the tobytcp length prefix that will preceed the data

use tobytcp::protocol::tobytcp_prefix;

let data = vec![1, 2, 3];

let mut len_buf = tobytcp_prefix(data.len()); // Send `len_buf` first, then `data`

Decoding the length of an inbound tobytcp message from a stream

use tobytcp::protocol::tobytcp_len;

let mut len_buf = [0; 8];
stream.read(&mut len_buf);

let msg_len = tobytcp_len(len_buf);

// Now we know that the next message payload is `msg_len` bytes in length..

Functions

tobytcp_len	For an 8 byte buf, what is the length of the data. Module level documentation has more info.
tobytcp_prefix	For some size, get the prefix that represents that size. Module level documentation has more info.
