pub fn encode(source: &[u8], dest: &mut [u8]) -> usize
Expand description
Encodes the source
buffer into the dest
buffer.
This function uses the typical sentinel value of 0. It returns the number of bytes
written to in the dest
buffer.
§Panics
This function will panic if the dest
buffer is not large enough for the
encoded message. You can calculate the size the dest
buffer needs to be with
the max_encoding_length
function.
