Add 24 bit integer read/write functions The trait has default implementations around read_int/read_uint to keep all existing instances working without changes, but implementations can implement something more optimal if needed.
This crate provides convenience methods for encoding and decoding numbers in either big-endian or little-endian order.
Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE.
This crate works with Cargo and is on crates.io. Add it to your Cargo.toml like so:
[dependencies] byteorder = "1"
If you want to augment existing Read and Write traits, then import the extension methods like so:
extern crate byteorder; use byteorder::{ReadBytesExt, WriteBytesExt, BigEndian, LittleEndian};
For example:
use std::io::Cursor; use byteorder::{BigEndian, ReadBytesExt}; let mut rdr = Cursor::new(vec![2, 5, 3, 0]); // Note that we use type parameters to indicate which kind of byte order // we want! assert_eq!(517, rdr.read_u16::<BigEndian>().unwrap()); assert_eq!(768, rdr.read_u16::<BigEndian>().unwrap());
no_std cratesThis crate has a feature, std, that is enabled by default. To use this crate in a no_std context, add the following to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies] byteorder = { version = "1", default-features = false }
