Struct glib::Bytes

pub struct Bytes(_);

A shared immutable byte slice (the equivalent of Rc<[u8]>).

From implementations that take references (e.g. &[u8]) copy the data. The from_static constructor avoids copying static data.

use glib::Bytes;

let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
let b = Bytes::from(&v);
assert_eq!(v, b);

let s = b"xyz";
let b = Bytes::from_static(s);
assert_eq!(&s[..], b);

A simple refcounted data type representing an immutable sequence of zero or more bytes from an unspecified origin.

The purpose of a Bytes is to keep the memory region that it holds alive for as long as anyone holds a reference to the bytes. When the last reference count is dropped, the memory is released. Multiple unrelated callers can use byte data in the Bytes without coordinating their activities, resting assured that the byte data will not change or move while they hold a reference.

A Bytes can come from many different origins that may have different procedures for freeing the memory region. Examples are memory from g_malloc(), from memory slices, from a GMappedFile or memory from other allocators.

Bytes work well as keys in GHashTable. Use g_bytes_equal() and g_bytes_hash() as parameters to g_hash_table_new() or g_hash_table_new_full(). Bytes can also be used as keys in a GTree by passing the g_bytes_compare() function to g_tree_new().

The data pointed to by this bytes must not be modified. For a mutable array of bytes see ByteArray. Use [unref_to_array()][Self::unref_to_array()] to create a mutable array for a Bytes sequence. To create an immutable Bytes from a mutable ByteArray, use the [ByteArray::free_to_bytes()][crate::ByteArray::free_to_bytes()] function.
