Module capnp::serialize

Reading and writing of messages using the standard stream framing, where each message is preceded by a segment table indicating the size of its segments.

Structs

OwnedSegments	Owned memory containing a message’s segments sequentialized in a single contiguous buffer. The segments are guaranteed to be 8-byte aligned.
SegmentLengthsBuilder	Helper object for constructing an OwnedSegments or a SliceSegments.
SliceSegments	Segments read from a single flat slice of words.

Functions

compute_serialized_size_in_words	Returns the number of words required to serialize the message.
read_message	Reads a serialized message from a stream with the provided options.
read_message_from_flat_slice	Reads a serialized message (including a segment table) from a flat slice of bytes, without copying. The slice is allowed to extend beyond the end of the message. On success, updates slice to point to the remaining bytes beyond the end of the message.
try_read_message	Like read_message(), but returns None instead of an error if there are zero bytes left in read. This is useful for reading a message stream of unknown length – you call this function until it returns None.
write_message	Writes the provided message to write.
write_message_segments	Like write_message(), but takes a ReaderSegments, allowing it to be used on message::Reader objects (via into_segments()).
write_message_segments_to_words	Like write_message_to_words(), but takes a ReaderSegments, allowing it to be used on message::Reader objects (via into_segments()).
write_message_to_words	Constructs a flat vector containing the entire message, including a segment header.
