Function `std.bitmanip.read`

Takes a range of ubytes and converts the first T.sizeof bytes to T. The value returned is converted from the given endianness to the native endianness. The T.sizeof bytes which are read are consumed from the range.


						
				T read(T, Endian endianness = Endian.bigEndian, R)
				(
				

				  ref R range
				

				)
				

				if (canSwapEndianness!T && isInputRange!R && is(ElementType!R : const(ubyte)));

Parameters

Name	Description
T	The integral type to convert the first `T.sizeof` bytes to.
endianness	The endianness that the bytes are assumed to be in.
range	The range to read from.

Example

import std.range.primitives : empty;
ubyte[] buffer = [1, 5, 22, 9, 44, 255, 8];
writeln(buffer.length); // 7

writeln(buffer.read!ushort()); // 261
writeln(buffer.length); // 5

writeln(buffer.read!uint()); // 369700095
writeln(buffer.length); // 1

writeln(buffer.read!ubyte()); // 8
assert(buffer.empty);
