A trait for using an endianness specification.

Provides methods for converting between the specified endianness and the native endianness of the target machine.

This trait does not require that the endianness is known at compile time.

Required Methods

fn from_big_endian(big_endian: bool) -> Option<Self>

Construct a specification for the endianness of some values.

Returns None if the type does not support specifying the given endianness.

fn is_big_endian(self) -> bool

Return true for big endian byte order.

Provided Methods

fn from_little_endian(little_endian: bool) -> Option<Self>

Construct a specification for the endianness of some values.

Returns None if the type does not support specifying the given endianness.

fn is_little_endian(self) -> bool

Return true for little endian byte order.

fn read_u16(self, n: [u8; 2]) -> u16

Converts an unaligned unsigned 16 bit integer to native endian.

fn read_u32(self, n: [u8; 4]) -> u32

Converts an unaligned unsigned 32 bit integer to native endian.

fn read_u64(self, n: [u8; 8]) -> u64

Converts an unaligned unsigned 64 bit integer to native endian.

fn read_i16(self, n: [u8; 2]) -> i16

Converts an unaligned signed 16 bit integer to native endian.

fn read_i32(self, n: [u8; 4]) -> i32

Converts an unaligned signed 32 bit integer to native endian.

fn read_i64(self, n: [u8; 8]) -> i64

Converts an unaligned signed 64 bit integer to native endian.

fn write_u16(self, n: u16) -> [u8; 2]

Converts an unaligned unsigned 16 bit integer from native endian.

fn write_u32(self, n: u32) -> [u8; 4]

Converts an unaligned unsigned 32 bit integer from native endian.

fn write_u64(self, n: u64) -> [u8; 8]

Converts an unaligned unsigned 64 bit integer from native endian.

fn write_i16(self, n: i16) -> [u8; 2]

Converts an unaligned signed 16 bit integer from native endian.

fn write_i32(self, n: i32) -> [u8; 4]

Converts an unaligned signed 32 bit integer from native endian.

fn write_i64(self, n: i64) -> [u8; 8]

Converts an unaligned signed 64 bit integer from native endian.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
