Module std.bitmanip

Bit-level manipulation facilities.

Functions

Name Description
append Takes an integral value, converts it to the given endianness, and appends it to the given range of ubytes (using put) as a sequence of T.sizeof ubytes starting at index. hasSlicing!R must be true.
bigEndianToNative Converts the given value from big endian to the native endianness and returns it. The value is given as a ubyte[n] where n is the size of the target type. You must give the target type as a template argument, because there are multiple types with the same size and so the type of the argument is not enough to determine the return type.
bitsSet Range that iterates the indices of the set bits in value. Index 0 corresponds to the least significant bit. For signed integers, the highest index corresponds to the sign bit.
littleEndianToNative Converts the given value from little endian to the native endianness and returns it. The value is given as a ubyte[n] where n is the size of the target type. You must give the target type as a template argument, because there are multiple types with the same size and so the type of the argument is not enough to determine the return type.
nativeToBigEndian Converts the given value from the native endianness to big endian and returns it as a ubyte[n] where n is the size of the given type.
nativeToLittleEndian Converts the given value from the native endianness to little endian and returns it as a ubyte[n] where n is the size of the given type.
peek Takes a range of ubytes and converts the first T.sizeof bytes to T. The value returned is converted from the given endianness to the native endianness. The range is not consumed.
read Takes a range of ubytes and converts the first T.sizeof bytes to T. The value returned is converted from the given endianness to the native endianness. The T.sizeof bytes which are read are consumed from the range.
swapEndian Swaps the endianness of the given integral value or character.
write Takes an integral value, converts it to the given endianness, and writes it to the given range of ubytes as a sequence of T.sizeof ubytes starting at index. hasSlicing!R must be true.
