Class: BinData::Skip
- Inherits:
-
BasePrimitive
- Object
- Base
- BasePrimitive
- BinData::Skip
- Defined in:
- lib/bindata/skip.rb
Overview
Skip will skip over bytes from the input stream. If the stream is not seekable, then the bytes are consumed and discarded.
When writing, skip will write :length number of zero bytes.
require 'bindata'
class A < BinData::Record
skip :length => 5
string :a, :read_length => 5
end
obj = A.read("abcdefghij")
obj.a #=> "fghij"
Parameters
Skip objects accept all the params that BinData::BasePrimitive does, as well as the following:
:length-
The number of bytes to skip.
