pub struct oid { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A borrowed reference to a hash identifying objects.
§Future Proofing
In case we wish to support multiple hashes with the same length we cannot discriminate
using the slice length anymore. To make that work, we will use the high bits of the
internal bytes
slice length (a fat pointer, pointing to data and its length in bytes)
to encode additional information. Before accessing or returning the bytes, a new adjusted
slice will be constructed, while the high bits will be used to help resolving the
hash kind()
.
We expect to have quite a few bits available for such ‘conflict resolution’ as most hashes aren’t longer
than 64 bytes.
Implementations§
Source§impl oid
impl oid
Conversion
Sourcepub fn try_from_bytes(digest: &[u8]) -> Result<&Self, Error>
pub fn try_from_bytes(digest: &[u8]) -> Result<&Self, Error>
Try to create a shared object id from a slice of bytes representing a hash digest
Sourcepub fn from_bytes_unchecked(value: &[u8]) -> &Self
pub fn from_bytes_unchecked(value: &[u8]) -> &Self
Create an OID from the input value
slice without performing any safety check.
Use only once sure that value
is a hash of valid length.
Source§impl oid
impl oid
Access
Sourcepub fn first_byte(&self) -> u8
pub fn first_byte(&self) -> u8
The first byte of the hash, commonly used to partition a set of object ids.
Sourcepub fn to_hex_with_len(&self, len: usize) -> HexDisplay<'_>
pub fn to_hex_with_len(&self, len: usize) -> HexDisplay<'_>
Return a type which can display itself in hexadecimal form with the len
amount of characters.
Source§impl oid
impl oid
Sha1 specific methods
Sourcepub fn hex_to_buf(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> usize
pub fn hex_to_buf(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> usize
Write ourselves to the out
in hexadecimal notation, returning the amount of written bytes.
Panics if the buffer isn’t big enough to hold twice as many bytes as the current binary size.
Sourcepub fn write_hex_to(&self, out: &mut dyn Write) -> Result<()>
pub fn write_hex_to(&self, out: &mut dyn Write) -> Result<()>
Write ourselves to out
in hexadecimal notation.
Trait Implementations§
Source§impl<'de: 'a, 'a> Deserialize<'de> for &'a oid
Available on crate feature serde
only.
impl<'de: 'a, 'a> Deserialize<'de> for &'a oid
serde
only.Manually created from a version that uses a slice, and we forcefully try to convert it into a borrowed array of the desired size
Could be improved by fitting this into serde.
Unfortunately the serde::Deserialize
derive wouldn’t work for borrowed arrays.
