5 Packages

Packages are listed by definition order.


5.1 utilities.binary-dump

This package contains functions for printing binary data.

The formatting possibilities resemble some of the ways supported by the od(1) UNIX program.

The functions ‘binary-dump’ and ‘print-binary-dump’ constitute the API. The former is intended to be called directly while the latter is intended for use in ~/ ‘cl:format’ directives.

6.1 Public Interface


6.1.1 Ordinary functions

Function: binary-dump (data &key start end stream width lines offset-base length endian type base print-type)

Print DATA to STREAM as a binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, etc. dump of the form

[HEADER]
[OFFSET ]B₁ B₂ B₃ ... S₁S₂S₃ ...
...

where OFFSET - the offset of B₁ printed in base OFFSET-BASE - is only printed when OFFSET-BASE is an integer designating a base.

B₁, B₂, ... are the bytes (or larger units according to LENGTH) of DATA printed in base BASE. LENGTH, ENDIAN and TYPE characterize the length, type and decoding of units:

LENGTH is either 8, 16, 32 or 64 if TYPE is [UN]SIGNED-BYTE and either 32 or 64 if TYPE is FLOAT.

ENDIAN is either :LITTLE or :BIG and only matters if LENGTH is not 8.

TYPE is one of [UN]SIGNED-BYTE and FLOAT.

The default behavior is formatting unsigned byte units in base *PRINT-BASE*.

S₁S₂... is the part of DATA which corresponds to B₁ B₂ ... rendered as a string. In S₁S₂..., unprintable and whitespace characters are replaced with ".".

Return four values: 1) DATA 2) the start index of the processed sub-sequence of DATA (i.e. START) 3) the corresponding end index (not necessarily END) 4) the number of processed chunks.

If START and/or END are supplied, the subsequence of DATA bounded by START and END instead of all of DATA is processed.

Additionally, if LINES is non-nil (either the keyword argument is supplied or its default value, the value of ‘*print-lines*’ is non-nil), the output is limited to LINES lines. Supplying :lines nil removes this limitation, even if ‘*print-lines*’ is non-nil.

When PRINT-TYPE is true, the output is preceded by a line of the form

N-byte TYPE

where TYPE is the type of DATA.

Depending on the length of DATA and WIDTH, the printed representation can span multiple lines.

Package

utilities.binary-dump.

Source

formatting.lisp.

Function: map-chunks (function data chunk-length &key start end max-chunks)

Call FUNCTION with subsequent chunks of CHUNK-LENGTH octets of DATA.

Return four values: 1) DATA 2) the start index of the processed sub-sequence of DATA (i.e. START) 3) the corresponding end index (not necessarily END) 4) the number of processed chunks.

FUNCTION has to have a lambda-list compatible to the following one:

(offset data start end last-chunk?)

where

* OFFSET is the offset in octets of the current chunk relative to the beginning of DATA.

* DATA passed through unmodified.

* START and END are the offset in octets of the beginning and end of the current chunk relative to the beginning of DATA respectively.

* LAST-CHUNK? is true when the current chunk is the last in DATA.

The last chunk may be shorter than CHUNK-LENGTH.

When supplied, START and/or END select a subsequence of DATA for processing.

Package

utilities.binary-dump.

Source

access.lisp.

Function: map-units (function data length endian type &key start end)

Call FUNCTION on subsequent "units" in DATA, return DATA.

Units are subsequences characterized by and interpreted according to LENGTH, ENDIAN and TYPE:

* LENGTH specifies the number of bits in each unit. Must be 8, 16, 32 or 64 if TYPE is [un]signed-byte and 32 or 64 if TYPE is ‘float’.

* ENDIAN specifies the endianess for the interpretation of the unit. Possible values: the keywords ‘:little’ and ‘:big’.

* TYPE specifies the type for the interpretation of the
unit. Possible value: the symbols ‘unsigned-byte’, ‘signed-byte’ and ‘float’

Package

utilities.binary-dump.

Source

access.lisp.

Function: print-binary-dump (stream data &optional colon? at? width start end base)

Print DATA to STREAM as a binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, etc. dump of the form

[HEADER]
[OFFSET ]B₁ B₂ B₃ ... S₁S₂S₃ ...
...

COLON? controls whether the offset column is printed (the corresponding ‘binary-dump’ keyword parameter is ‘offset-base’).

AT? controls whether the header is printed (the corresponding ‘binary-dump’ keyword parameter is ‘print-type’).

WIDTH specifies the maximum number of columns a line of output should occupy.

START and END can be used to restrict processing to a subsequence of DATA.

BASE controls the radix in which numbers in the offset column (if any) and the numeric data columns are printed.

For more details, see ‘binary-dump’.

This function is designed for use in ~/ format directives.
