Thrift::Bytes

A collection of utilities for working with bytes and byte buffers.

Public Class Methods

convert_to_string(utf8_buffer) click to toggle source

Converts the given UTF-8 byte buffer into a String

utf8_buffer - A String, with BINARY encoding, containing UTF-8 bytes

Returns a new String with UTF-8 encoding,

# File lib/thrift/bytes.rb, line 93
def self.convert_to_string(utf8_buffer)
  # duplicate the buffer, force encoding to UTF-8
  utf8_buffer.dup.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8)
end
convert_to_utf8_byte_buffer(string) click to toggle source

Converts the given String to a UTF-8 byte buffer.

string - The String to convert.

Returns a new String with BINARY encoding, containing the UTF-8 bytes of the original string.

# File lib/thrift/bytes.rb, line 77
def self.convert_to_utf8_byte_buffer(string)
  if string.encoding != Encoding::UTF_8
    # transcode to UTF-8
    string = string.encode(Encoding::UTF_8)
  else
    # encoding is already UTF-8, but a duplicate is needed
    string = string.dup
  end
  string.force_encoding(Encoding::BINARY)
end
empty_byte_buffer(size = nil) click to toggle source

Creates and empty byte buffer (String with BINARY encoding)

size - The Integer size of the buffer (default: nil) to create

Returns a String with BINARY encoding, filled with null characters if size is greater than zero

# File lib/thrift/bytes.rb, line 30
def self.empty_byte_buffer(size = nil)
  if (size && size > 0)
    "\00"".force_encoding(Encoding::BINARY) * size
  else
    ''.force_encoding(Encoding::BINARY)
  end
end
force_binary_encoding(buffer) click to toggle source

Forces the encoding of the buffer to BINARY. If the buffer passed is frozen, then it will be duplicated.

buffer - The String to force the encoding of.

Returns the String passed with an encoding of BINARY; returned String may be a duplicate.

# File lib/thrift/bytes.rb, line 45
def self.force_binary_encoding(buffer)
  buffer = buffer.dup if buffer.frozen?
  buffer.force_encoding(Encoding::BINARY)
end
get_string_byte(string, index) click to toggle source

Gets the byte value of a given position in a String.

string - The String to retrive the byte value from. index - The Integer location of the byte value to retrieve.

Returns an Integer value between 0 and 255.

# File lib/thrift/bytes.rb, line 56
def self.get_string_byte(string, index)
  string.getbyte(index)
end
set_string_byte(string, index, byte) click to toggle source

Sets the byte value given to a given index in a String.

string - The String to set the byte value in. index - The Integer location to set the byte value at. byte - The Integer value (0 to 255) to set in the string.

Returns an Integer value of the byte value to set.

# File lib/thrift/bytes.rb, line 67
def self.set_string_byte(string, index, byte)
  string.setbyte(index, byte)
end
