Function decode_to_slice
pub fn decode_to_slice<T>(
input: T,
output: &mut [u8],
) -> Result<(), FromHexError>
Expand description
Decode a hex string into a mutable bytes slice.
Both, upper and lower case characters are valid in the input string and can
even be mixed (e.g. f9b4ca
, F9B4CA
and f9B4Ca
are all valid strings).
Strips the 0x
prefix if present.
§Errors
This function returns an error if the input is not an even number of characters long or contains invalid hex characters, or if the output slice is not exactly half the length of the input.
§Example
let mut bytes = [0u8; 4];
const_hex::decode_to_slice("6b697769", &mut bytes).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&bytes, b"kiwi");
const_hex::decode_to_slice("0x6b697769", &mut bytes).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&bytes, b"kiwi");
