Module Bi_vint

type uint = int

Unsigned int. Note that ints (signed) and uints use the same representation for integers within [0, max_int].

val uvint_of_uint : ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t -> uint -> string

Convert an unsigned int to a vint.

buf existing output buffer that could be reused by this function instead of creating a new one.

val svint_of_int : ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t -> int -> string

Convert a signed int to a vint.

buf existing output buffer that could be reused by this function instead of creating a new one.

val uint_of_uvint : string -> uint

Interpret a vint as an unsigned int.

Raises Bi_util.Error if the input string is not a single valid uvint that is representable using the uint type.

val int_of_svint : string -> int

Interpret a vint as a signed int.

Raises Bi_util.Error if the input string is not a single valid svint that is representable using the int type.

val write_uvint : Bi_outbuf.t -> uint -> unit

Write an unsigned int to a buffer.

val write_svint : Bi_outbuf.t -> int -> unit

Write a signed int to a buffer.

val read_uvint : Bi_inbuf.t -> uint

Read an unsigned int from a buffer.

Raises Bi_util.Error if there is no data to read from or if the uvint is not representable using the uint type.

val read_svint : Bi_inbuf.t -> int

Read a signed int from a buffer.

Raises Bi_util.Error if there is no data to read from or if the svint is not representable using the int type.
