<div class='docblock'><p>Provides abstractions for working with bytes.</p>
<p>The <code>bytes</code> crate provides an efficient byte buffer structure
(<a href="struct.Bytes.html"><code>Bytes</code></a>) and traits for working with buffer
implementations (<a href="trait.Buf.html"><code>Buf</code></a>, <a href="trait.BufMut.html"><code>BufMut</code></a>).</p>
<h1 id="bytes" class="section-header"><a href="#bytes"><code>Bytes</code></a></h1>
<p><code>Bytes</code> is an efficient container for storing and operating on continguous
slices of memory. It is intended for use primarily in networking code, but
could have applications elsewhere as well.</p>
<p><code>Bytes</code> values facilitate zero-copy network programming by allowing multiple
<code>Bytes</code> objects to point to the same underlying memory. This is managed by
using a reference count to track when the memory is no longer needed and can
be freed.</p>
<p>A <code>Bytes</code> handle can be created directly from an existing byte store (such as <code>&amp;[u8]</code>
or <code>Vec&lt;u8&gt;</code>), but usually a <code>BytesMut</code> is used first and written to. For
example:</p>
<pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">
<span class="kw">use</span> <span class="ident">bytes</span>::{<span class="ident">BytesMut</span>, <span class="ident">BufMut</span>, <span class="ident">BigEndian</span>};
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="kw-2">mut</span> <span class="ident">buf</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">BytesMut</span>::<span class="ident">with_capacity</span>(<span class="number">1024</span>);
<span class="ident">buf</span>.<span class="ident">put</span>(<span class="kw-2">&amp;</span><span class="string">b&quot;hello world&quot;</span>[..]);
<span class="ident">buf</span>.<span class="ident">put_u16</span>::<span class="op">&lt;</span><span class="ident">BigEndian</span><span class="op">&gt;</span>(<span class="number">1234</span>);
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">a</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">buf</span>.<span class="ident">take</span>();
<span class="macro">assert_eq</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="ident">a</span>, <span class="string">b&quot;hello world\x04\xD2&quot;</span>[..]);
<span class="ident">buf</span>.<span class="ident">put</span>(<span class="kw-2">&amp;</span><span class="string">b&quot;goodbye world&quot;</span>[..]);
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">b</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">buf</span>.<span class="ident">take</span>();
<span class="macro">assert_eq</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="ident">b</span>, <span class="string">b&quot;goodbye world&quot;</span>[..]);
<span class="macro">assert_eq</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="ident">buf</span>.<span class="ident">capacity</span>(), <span class="number">998</span>);</pre>
<p>In the above example, only a single buffer of 1024 is allocated. The handles
<code>a</code> and <code>b</code> will share the underlying buffer and maintain indices tracking
the view into the buffer represented by the handle.</p>
<p>See the <a href="struct.Bytes.html">struct docs</a> for more details.</p>
<h1 id="buf-bufmut" class="section-header"><a href="#buf-bufmut"><code>Buf</code>, <code>BufMut</code></a></h1>
<p>These two traits provide read and write access to buffers. The underlying
storage may or may not be in contiguous memory. For example, <code>Bytes</code> is a
buffer that guarantees contiguous memory, but a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)">rope</a> stores the bytes in
disjoint chunks. <code>Buf</code> and <code>BufMut</code> maintain cursors tracking the current
position in the underlying byte storage. When bytes are read or written, the
cursor is advanced.</p>
<h2 id="relation-with-read-and-write" class="section-header"><a href="#relation-with-read-and-write">Relation with <code>Read</code> and <code>Write</code></a></h2>
<p>At first glance, it may seem that <code>Buf</code> and <code>BufMut</code> overlap in
functionality with <code>std::io::Read</code> and <code>std::io::Write</code>. However, they
serve different purposes. A buffer is the value that is provided as an
argument to <code>Read::read</code> and <code>Write::write</code>. <code>Read</code> and <code>Write</code> may then
perform a syscall, which has the potential of failing. Operations on <code>Buf</code>
and <code>BufMut</code> are infallible.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
