Public static functions

MergeDelimitedFrom

void MergeDelimitedFrom(
  this IMessage message,
  Stream input
)

Merges length-delimited data from the given stream into an existing message.

The stream is expected to contain a length and then the data. Only the amount of data specified by the length will be consumed.

Details

Parameters

`message`	The message to merge the data into.
`input`	Stream containing the data to merge, which must be protobuf-encoded binary data.

MergeFrom

void MergeFrom(
  this IMessage message,
  byte[] data
)

Merges data from the given byte array into an existing message.

Details

Parameters

`message`	The message to merge the data into.
`data`	The data to merge, which must be protobuf-encoded binary data.

MergeFrom

void MergeFrom(
  this IMessage message,
  ByteString data
)

Merges data from the given byte string into an existing message.

Details

Parameters

`message`	The message to merge the data into.
`data`	The data to merge, which must be protobuf-encoded binary data.

MergeFrom

void MergeFrom(
  this IMessage message,
  Stream input
)

Merges data from the given stream into an existing message.

Details

Parameters

`message`	The message to merge the data into.
`input`	Stream containing the data to merge, which must be protobuf-encoded binary data.

ToByteArray

byte[] ToByteArray(
  this IMessage message
)

Converts the given message into a byte array in protobuf encoding.

Details

Parameters

message

The message to convert.

Returns

The message data as a byte array.

ToByteString

ByteString ToByteString(
  this IMessage message
)

Converts the given message into a byte string in protobuf encoding.

Details

Parameters

message

The message to convert.

Returns

The message data as a byte string.

WriteDelimitedTo

void WriteDelimitedTo(
  this IMessage message,
  Stream output
)

Writes the length and then data of the given message to a stream.

Details

Parameters

`message`	The message to write.
`output`	The output stream to write to.

WriteTo

void WriteTo(
  this IMessage message,
  Stream output
)

Writes the given message data to the given stream in protobuf encoding.

Details

Parameters

`message`	The message to write to the stream.
`output`	The stream to write to.
