A basic header based binary file format, writer and reader.
{
let info = SnowBinInfo::default();
let writer = SnowBinWriter::new(info, PATH as PathBuf)?;
writer.write("Header", DATA as &[u8])?;
} // File is flushed when writer.close() is called or when writer is dropped.
{
let reader = SnowBinReader::new()?;
reader.read("Header")?; // Returns data has Vec<u8>
}
-
Default Max Header Size: 8 bytes.
-
Default Max Data Size: u64.
-
Start with an 8 byte header of "SNOW_BIN".
-
Then 8 bytes showing the snow binary version. (Spec Version) (u64)
-
Then 4 bytes showing the max header size in bytes. (At least 8 bytes, max of u32::MAX bytes) (u32)
-
Then 1 byte showing the max data size. (u8::MAX, u16::MAX, u32::MAX, u64::MAX) (u8)
-
Then write data:
- Header of MAX_HEADER_SIZE. (No conflicting header names. This is not checked by the writer or reader.)
- Data size of MAX_DATA_SIZE.
- Data.
- Repeat until \/.
-
End with a MAX_HEADER_SIZE header of "SNOW_END".
-
32 byte verification hash. (Using blake3)
