Struct Pointer

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

A Pointer as provided by the WeeChat relay.

Note that while these pointers are probably parsed into an actual machine pointer type on the relay side, the protocol treats them as strings with particular constraints. This means that there are possible cases where a relay and a client may have a different interpretation of things like whether two pointers are equal (e.g., leading zeros), or a pointer is valid at all (e.g., Pointers longer than the relay machine’s pointer width). Because the representation is only specified at the protocol level, we strongly advise to only use pointers as opaque handles provided by the relay.

Implementations

impl Pointer

pub fn new(ascii_bytes: Vec<u8>) -> Result<Pointer, PointerError>

pub fn null() -> Pointer

Construct a NULL pointer.

The NULL pointer is always an invalid identifier, using it in commands will yield empty responses.

pub fn is_null(&self) -> bool

Whether this pointer is a NULL pointer.

The NULL pointer is always an invalid identifier, using it in commands will yield empty responses.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Pointer

fn clone(&self) -> Pointer

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Pointer

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Pointer

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for Pointer

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 MessageType for Pointer

fn to_object(self) -> Object

fn to_object_ref(&self) -> ObjectRef<'_>

fn to_warray(vec: Vec<Self>) -> WArray

impl PartialEq for Pointer

fn eq(&self, other: &Pointer) -> 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.
