muscleman
muscleman
is a library for creating and managing buffers. It gets its name from the fact that it is a buffer manager.
And thinking of "buff" as in "buff body", it is a library for managing buffers of data. Plus, muscle man is a funny character.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
muscleman = "0.3.1"
And this to your crate root:
extern crate muscleman;
use muscleman::buffer::Buffer;
Examples
Creating a buffer
use muscleman::buffer;
let mut buffer = buffer::new();
buffer.write_byte(0x01);
buffer.write_byte(0x02);
assert_eq!(buffer.len(), 2);
Writing to a buffer
use muscleman::buffer;
let mut buffer = buffer::new();
// 8 to 64 bit signed integers
buffer.write_i8(1);
buffer.write_i16(2);
buffer.write_i32(3);
buffer.write_i64(4);
// 8 to 64 bit unsigned integers
buffer.write_u8(5);
buffer.write_u16(6);
buffer.write_u32(7);
buffer.write_u64(8);
// 32 and 64 bit floating point numbers
buffer.write_f32(9.0_f32);
buffer.write_f64(10.0_f64);
// Null terminated strings and length prefixed strings
buffer.write_string("Hello, world!");
buffer.write_string_with_length("Hello, world!"); // The length is written as a u32
Reading from a buffer
use muscleman::buffer;
let mut buffer = buffer::new();
// Assume the data in the "Writing to a buffer" is currently in the buffer
// 8 to 64 bit signed integers
assert_eq!(buffer.read_i8(), 1);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_i16(), 2);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_i32(), 3);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_i64(), 4);
// 8 to 64 bit unsigned integers
assert_eq!(buffer.read_u8(), 5);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_u16(), 6);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_u32(), 7);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_u64(), 8);
// 32 and 64 bit floating point numbers
assert_eq!(buffer.read_f32(), 9.0_f32);
assert_eq!(buffer.read_f64(), 10.0_f64);
// Null terminated strings and length prefixed strings
assert_eq!(buffer.read_string(), "Hello, world!");
assert_eq!(buffer.read_string_with_length(), "Hello, world!");
Why?
I was working on a project that required me to send and receive data from a server. I needed a way to easily write and read data to and from a buffer. I looked around and found a few crates that did this, but they were either too complicated or didn't do what I needed. So I decided to make my own.
