Struct Chunk 

pub struct Chunk(/* private fields */);

A “chunk” is an arbitrarily sized byte slice read from the underlying stream. The slices’ length is at max of the previously configured maximum chunk_size.

We use the word “chunk”, as it is often used when processing collections in segments or when dealing with buffered I/O operations where data arrives in variable-sized pieces.

In contrast to this, a “frame” typically carries more specific semantics. It usually implies a complete logical unit with defined boundaries within a protocol or format. This we do not have here.

Note: If the underlying stream is of lower buffer size, chunks of full chunk_size length may never be observed.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRef<[u8]> for Chunk

fn as_ref(&self) -> &[u8]

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl Clone for Chunk

fn clone(&self) -> Chunk

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Chunk

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for Chunk

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for Chunk

fn eq(&self, other: &Chunk) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
