Method: Packable::ClassMethods#read_packed

Defined in:
lib/packable/mixin.rb

#read_packed(io, options) ⇒ Object

Default read_packed calls either the instance method read_packed or the class method unpack_string. Choose:

  • define a class method read_packed that returns the newly read object

  • define an instance method read_packed which reads the io into self

  • define a class method unpack_string that reads and returns an object from the string. In this case, options should be specified!
