Crate ascii

A library that provides ASCII-only string and character types, equivalent to the char, str and String types in the standard library.

Please refer to the readme file to learn about the different feature modes of this crate.

Requirements

• The minimum supported Rust version is 1.9.0
• Enabling the quickcheck feature requires Rust 1.12.0
• Enabling the serde feature requires Rust 1.13.0

History

This package included the Ascii types that were removed from the Rust standard library by the 2014-12 reform of the std::ascii module. The API changed significantly since then.

Structs

• AsAsciiStrError
  Error that is returned when a sequence of u8 are not all ASCII.
• AsciiStr
  AsciiStr represents a byte or string slice that only contains ASCII characters.
• AsciiString
  A growable string stored as an ASCII encoded buffer.
• FromAsciiError
  A possible error value when converting an AsciiString from a byte vector or string. It wraps an AsAsciiStrError which you can get through the ascii_error() method.
• Lines
  An iterator over the lines of the internal character array.
• ToAsciiCharError
  Error returned by ToAsciiChar.

Enums

• AsciiChar
  An ASCII character. It wraps a u8, with the highest bit always zero.

Traits

• AsAsciiStr
  Convert slices of bytes to AsciiStr.
• AsMutAsciiStr
  Convert mutable slices of bytes to AsciiStr.
• IntoAsciiString
  Convert vectors into AsciiString.
• ToAsciiChar
  Convert char, u8 and other character types to AsciiChar.

Functions

• caret_decode
  Returns the control code represented by a caret notation letter, or None if the letter is not used in caret notation.
• caret_encode
  Terminals use caret notation to display some typed control codes, such as ^D for EOT and ^Z for SUB.

Type Aliases

• Chars
  An immutable iterator over the characters of an AsciiStr.
• CharsMut
  A mutable iterator over the characters of an AsciiStr.
