Trait byte_slice_cast::ToByteSlice
source · pub unsafe trait ToByteSlicewhere
Self: Sized,{
// Required method
fn to_byte_slice<T: AsRef<[Self]> + ?Sized>(
slice: &T
) -> Result<&[u8], Error>;
}Expand description
Trait for converting from an immutable slice of a fundamental, built-in numeric type to an immutable byte slice.
Usually using the AsByteSlice trait is more convenient.
Example
use byte_slice_cast::*;
let slice: [u16; 3] = [0x0102, 0x0304, 0x0506];
let converted_slice = ToByteSlice::to_byte_slice(&slice).unwrap();
if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[1u8, 2u8, 3u8, 4u8, 5u8, 6u8]);
} else {
assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[2u8, 1u8, 4u8, 3u8, 6u8, 5u8]);
}
