# GstByteReader

GstByteReader provides a byte reader that can read different integer and floating point types from a memory buffer. It provides functions for reading signed/unsigned, little/big endian integers of 8, 16, 24, 32 and 64 bits and functions for reading little/big endian floating points numbers of 32 and 64 bits. It also provides functions to read NUL-terminated strings in various character encodings.

Initializes a GstByteReader sub-reader instance to contain size bytes of data from the current position of reader. This is useful to read chunked formats and make sure that one doesn't read beyond the size of the sub-chunk.

Unlike gst_byte_reader_peek_sub_reader, this function also modifies the position of reader and moves it forward by size bytes.

Parameters:

`reader` –

an existing and initialized GstByteReader instance

`sub_reader` –

a GstByteReader instance to initialize as sub-reader

`size` –

size of sub_reader in bytes

Parameters:

`reader` –

an existing and initialized GstByteReader instance

`sub_reader` –

a GstByteReader instance to initialize as sub-reader

`size` –

size of sub_reader in bytes

    GstByteReader *
    gst_byte_reader_new (const guint8 * data,
                         guint size)

Create a new GstByteReader instance, which will read from data.

Free-function: gst_byte_reader_free

Parameters:

`data` ( [in][transfer: none][array length=size]) –

data from which the GstByteReader should read

`size` –

Size of data in bytes

Returns ( [transfer: full]) –

a new GstByteReader instance

## Function Macros

### GST_BYTE_READER_INIT

    #define GST_BYTE_READER_INIT(data, size) {data, size, 0}

A GstByteReader must be initialized with this macro, before it can be used. This macro can used be to initialize a variable, but it cannot be assigned to a variable. In that case you have to use gst_byte_reader_init.

Parameters:

`data` –

Data from which the GstByteReader should read

`size` –

Size of data in bytes
