A simple Clojure library that packs/unpacks sequences of values to/from byte buffers. The library was inspired by Python [struct] 1 module.
Include the library in your leiningen project dependencies:
[clj-struct "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]| Format | C Type | Clojure type | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| c | char | char | 1 |
| b | signed char | byte | 1 |
| B | unsigned char | int | 1 |
| ? | _Bool | boolean | 1 |
| h | short | short | 2 |
| H | unsigned short | int | 2 |
| i | int | int | 4 |
| I | unsigned int | long | 4 |
| l | long | int | 4 |
| L | unsigned long | long | 4 |
| q | long long | long | 8 |
| Q | unsigned long long | BigInt | 8 |
| f | float | float | 4 |
| d | double | double | 8 |
| s | char[] | string |
(use 'clj-struct.core)
; calculates the size of the struct corresponding to the given format
(calc-size "11sii?")
; returns a byte buffer containing the values packed according to the given format
(def bytes-buf (pack "11sii?" ["some string" -28 499 false]))
; returns a sequence of unpacked values
(def unpacked-seq (unpack "11sii?" bytes-buf))
; reads first 30 integers from a binary file
(with-open [file (RandomAccessFile. "/path/to/file" "r")]
(unpack "30i" file))Copyright © 2013 Pavel Prokopenko
