Overview

This class is abstract.

Base enum class to handle binary integers with limited authorized values

An Enum type is used to handle an Int field with limited and named values.

Simple example

enum = Int8Enum.new(0, 'low' => 0, 'medium' => 1, 'high' => 2})

In this example, enum is a 8-bit field which may take one among three values: low, medium or high:

enum.value = 'high'
enum.value              # => 2
enum.value = 1
enum.value              # => 1
enum.to_human           # => "medium"

Setting an unknown value will raise an exception:

enum.value = 4          # => raise!
enum.value = 'unknown'  # => raise!

But Int#read will not raise when reading an outbound value. This to enable decoding (or forging) of bad packets.

Constructor Details

#initialize(enum, endian = nil, width = nil, default = nil) ⇒ Enum

Returns a new instance of Enum.

Parameters:

  • enum (Hash) —

    enumerated values. Default value is taken from first element unless given.

  • endian (:little, :big, nil) (defaults to: nil)
  • width (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)
  • default (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    default value

Since:

  • 2.1.3

Setter for value attribute

Parameters:

  • value (#to_i, String, nil) —

    value as an Integer or as a String from enumration

Returns:

  • (Integer)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    String value is unknown
