go-hexadeca

Package hexadeca implements hexadecimal encoding and decoding, for the Go programming language. This is meant to be a better alternative to Go's built-in "hex" package.

Package hexadeca has easy functiosn for encoding and decoding to:

• byte (i.e., uint8),
• uint16,
• uint32
• uint64
• int64

Documention

Online documentation, which includes examples, can be found at: http://godoc.org/sourcecode.social/reiver/go-hexadeca

Example

A couple examples of encoding a byte to hexidecimal.

import "sourceccode.social/reiver/go-hexadeca"

// ...

// value==254 -> mostSignificant=='f', leastSignificant=='e'
mostSignificant, leastSignificant := hexadeca.EncodeByteUsingLowerCaseSymbols(value)

// ...

// value==254 -> mostSignificant=='F', leastSignificant=='E'
mostSignificant, leastSignificant := hexadeca.EncodeByteUsingUpperCaseSymbols(value)

A couple examples of encoding a uint16 to hexidecimal.

import "sourceccode.social/reiver/go-hexadeca"

// ...

r3, r2, r1, r0 = hexadeca.EncodeUint16UsingLowerCaseSymbols(value)

// ...

r3, r2, r1, r0 = hexadeca.EncodeUint16UsingLUpperCaseSymbols(value)

A couple examples of encoding a uint32 to hexidecimal.

import "sourceccode.social/reiver/go-hexadeca"

// ...

r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r1, r0 = hexadeca.EncodeUint32UsingLowerCaseSymbols(value)

// ...

r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r1, r0 = hexadeca.EncodeUint32UsingLUpperCaseSymbols(value)

A couple examples of encoding a uint64 to hexidecimal.

import "sourceccode.social/reiver/go-hexadeca"

// ...

// value==18364758544493064720 -> r15=='f', r14=='e', r13=='d', r12=='c', r11=='b', r10=='a', r9=='9', r8=='8', r7=='7', r6=='6', r5=='5', r4=='4', r3=='3', r2=='2', r1=='1', r0=='0'
r15, r14, r13, r12, r11, r10, r9, r8, r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r1, r0 = hexadeca.EncodeUint64UsingLowerCaseSymbols(value)

// ...

// value==18364758544493064720 -> r15=='F', r14=='E', r13=='D', r12=='C', r11=='B', r10=='A', r9=='9', r8=='8', r7=='7', r6=='6', r5=='5', r4=='4', r3=='3', r2=='2', r1=='1', r0=='0'
r15, r14, r13, r12, r11, r10, r9, r8, r7, r6, r5, r4, r3, r2, r1, r0 = hexadeca.EncodeUint64UsingLUpperCaseSymbols(value)
