Writing values to the binary protocol using (mostly) OCaml.

type 'a writer = Common.buf -> pos:Common.pos -> 'a -> Common.pos

Type of writer functions for the binary protocol. They take a buffer, a write position and a value, and return the next position after writing out the value.

type ('a, 'b) writer1 = 'a writer -> 'b writer
type ('a, 'b, 'c) writer2 = 'a writer -> ('b, 'c) writer1
type ('a, 'b, 'c, 'd) writer3 = 'a writer -> ('b, 'c, 'd) writer2

val bin_write_md5 : Md5_lib.t writer
val bin_write_variant_int : int writer

bin_write_variant_int writes out the exact little-endian bit representation of the variant tag of the given value (= 32 bits).

val bin_write_int_8bit : int writer

bin_write_int_8bit writes out the exact little-endian bit representation of the given int value using the lower 8 bits.

val bin_write_int_16bit : int writer

bin_write_int_16bit writes out the exact little-endian bit representation of the given int value using the lower 16 bits.

val bin_write_int_32bit : int writer

bin_write_int_32bit writes out the exact little-endian bit representation of the given int value using the lower 32 bits.

val bin_write_int_64bit : int writer

bin_write_int_64bit writes out the exact little-endian bit representation of the given int value using all 64 bits. On 32bit platforms negative numbers will be sign-extended in the 64bit representation.

val bin_write_int64_bits : int64 writer

bin_write_int64_bits writes out the exact little-endian bit representation of the given int64 value.

val bin_write_network16_int : int writer

bin_write_network16_int writes out an integer in 16bit network byte order (= big-endian).

val bin_write_network32_int : int writer

bin_write_network32_int writes out an integer in 32bit network byte order (= big-endian).

val bin_write_network32_int32 : int32 writer

bin_write_network32_int32 writes out a 32bit integer in 32bit network byte order (= big-endian).

val bin_write_network64_int : int writer

bin_write_network64_int writes out an integer in 64bit network byte order (= big-endian).

val bin_write_network64_int64 : int64 writer

bin_write_network64_int64 writes out a 64bit integer in 64bit network byte order (= big-endian).

val bin_write_array_no_length : ('a, 'a array) writer1

bin_write_array_no_length writes out all values in the given array without writing out its length.

  • deprecated [since 2016-03] this function was deprecated as it is misleading and unused
