Overview

A Struct is an ordered collection of named data objects.

require 'bindata'

class Tuple < BinData::Record
  int8  :x
  int8  :y
  int8  :z
end

obj = BinData::Struct.new(hide: :a,
                          fields: [ [:int32le, :a],
                                    [:int16le, :b],
                                    [:tuple, :s] ])
obj.field_names   =># [:b, :s]

Parameters

Parameters may be provided at initialisation to control the behaviour of an object. These params are:

:fields

An array specifying the fields for this struct. Each element of the array is of the form [type, name, params]. Type is a symbol representing a registered type. Name is the name of this field. Params is an optional hash of parameters to pass to this field when instantiating it. If name is “” or nil, then that field is anonymous and behaves as a hidden field.

:hide

A list of the names of fields that are to be hidden from the outside world. Hidden fields don’t appear in #snapshot or #field_names but are still accessible by name.

:endian

Either :little or :big. This specifies the default endian of any numerics in this struct, or in any nested data objects.

:search_prefix

Allows abbreviated type names. If a type is unrecognised, then each prefix is applied until a match is found.

Field Parameters

Fields may have have extra parameters as listed below:

:onlyif

Used to indicate a data object is optional. if false, this object will not be included in any calls to #read, #write, #num_bytes or #snapshot.

:byte_align

This field’s rel_offset must be a multiple of :byte_align.
