I love Perl. I love Perl pack function for it simplicity on working with complex binary formats. And I also love Rust, so I decided to put my favorite function to Rust.
This crate is under development. Any help are very appreciated.
Let's say you have a some network packet, and you want to pack it into &[u8] and back.
struct Packet {
size: u16, // little endian
command: char, // unsigned
argument: String, // ascii + null
}
let p = Packet::new();
let data = pack!("VcZ", p.size, p.command, p.argument)?; // magic!
let p : Packet = unpack!("VcZ", data)?; // magic x2!- Implement pack for Rust primitives
- Implement pack! and unpack! macro
- Implement derive macros
- Publish to crates.io
