This crate implements a type ByteSliceIter that reads bytes from a reader and allows iterating over them as slices with a maximum length, similar to the [chunks] method on slices.

It is implemented as a [FallibleStreamingIterator] so that it can reuse its buffer and not allocate for each chunk. (That trait is re-exported here for convenience.)

Example

```rust extern crate readbyteslice;

use readbyteslice::{ByteSliceIter, FallibleStreamingIterator}; use std::io;

fn work() -> io::Result<()> { let bytes = b"0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"; // Iterate over the bytes in 8-byte chunks. let mut iter = ByteSliceIter::new(&bytes[..], 8); while let Some(chunk) = iter.next()? { println!("{:?}", chunk); } Ok(()) }

fn main() { work().unwrap(); } ```
