Std.Db.Protocol.bodyLength

1 declaration

fn

bodyLength: &Bytes -> Option[Int]

This is a callable function.

What it does

How many bytes a message needs beyond the five already read, or nothing

when the five are not yet there.

Separated from reading the message so a caller can ask for exactly what is

missing rather than reading a byte at a time.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Option holds Some(value) or None when no value is available.
