Chainbuf

Chained buffer of contigious byte chunks.

Simple usage

Plug the package into your app via Cargo:

toml [dependencies] chainbuf = "0.0.4"

then use it:

rust extern crate chainbuf; use chainbuf::Chain; let mut chain = Chain::new(); chain.append_bytes("helloworld".as_bytes()); let some_bytes = chain.pullup(2);

Details of implementation

Chainbuf consists of linked list of nodes, with start and end offsets and a reference counted pointer to DataHolder. DataHolders can be shared across different chains, so for mutation new nodes and data holders are created (as in Copy-On-Write).
