module Bigstring_marshal: Bigstring_marshal
Marshalling to/from bigstrings
val marshal_blit : ?flags:Marshal.extern_flags list ->
'a -> ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> Bigstring.t -> int
marshal_blit ?flags v ?pos ?len buf marshals value
v to bigstring
buf starting at position
pos and at most
len bytes.
RaisesInvalid_argument if the designated range is out of bounds.Failure if buf cannot hold enough data for marshalling.
flags : default = []
pos : default = 0
len : default = length buf - pos
val marshal : ?flags:Marshal.extern_flags list -> 'a -> Bigstring.t
marshal ?flags v marshals value v to a bigstring using marshalling
flags flags. This function may need two times more memory than
marshal_blit.
flags : default = []
val marshal_data_size : ?pos:int -> Bigstring.t -> int
marshal_data_size ?pos buf
Raises Invalid_argument if the position is out of bounds considering
a valid marshal header.
Returns the length of marshalled data in
bigstring buf starting at position pos.
pos : default = 0
val unmarshal : ?pos:int -> Bigstring.t -> 'a
unmarshal ?pos buf unmarshals data contained in buf starting
at position pos.
Raises Invalid_argument if the position is out of bounds, or if
there is not enough data for unmarshalling.
pos : default = 0
val unmarshal_next : ?pos:int -> Bigstring.t -> 'a * int
unmarshal_next ?pos buf unmarshals data contained in buf starting
at position pos.
Raises Invalid_argument if the position is out of bounds, or if
there is not enough data for unmarshalling.
Returns (v, next_pos), where v is the
unmarshalled value, and next_pos designates the start of the byte
following the unmarshalled data.
pos : default = 0
val skip : ?pos:int -> Bigstring.t -> int
skip ?pos buf skips the marshalled data starting at position pos.
Raises Invalid_argument if the position is out of bounds, or if
there is not enough data for unmarshalling.
Returns the start of the byte following the unmarshalled data.
pos : default = 0
