The BERT package: Classes; Functions; Variables; Conditions

The BERT package

CLERIC implements the BERT binary data interchange format and exports these functions through the BERT package.

Classes

[Standard class]
bert-regex

Represents a BERT regex term.

[Standard class]
bert-time

Represents a BERT time term.

[Standard class]
erlang-binary

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:erlang-binary .

[Standard class]
erlang-tuple

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:erlang-tuple .

Functions

[Generic function]
arity tuple => size

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:arity.

[Function]
binary &rest bytes => binary

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:binary .

[Function]
binary-to-string binary => string

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:binary-to-string.

[Function]
bool value => bert-boolean

Returns the value of bert:true if value is true, otherwise returns the value of bert:false.

[Generic function]
bytes binary => bytes

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:bytes.

[Function]
bytes-to-binary bytes => binary

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:bytes-to-binary .

[Function]
decode bytes => bert-term, position

Decodes the sequence bytes into BERT terms. position is the number of bytes consumed from bytes.

[Generic function]
elements tuple => vector

Inherited from CLERIC. See cleric:elements .

[Generic function]
encode object &key berp-header => bytes

berp-header defaults to NIL.

Encodes object according to BERT into a vector of bytes. If berp-header is true the resulting byte vector is prepended with a BERP header, a four byte length header.

[Generic function]
size tuple-or-binary => size
