Class type

A Git Blob object.

A Blob object is used to store file data.

type t

Type of blob is contents of file.

val of_cstruct : Cstruct.t -> t

of_cstruct cs is the blob from the given Cstruct.t cs. This function does not take the ownership on cs.

Note. If the user set the given cs, it updates the blob too. This function does not copy the given Cstruct.t.

let cs = Cstruct.of_string "Hello" in
let blob = Blob.of_cstruct cs in
Blob.digest blob ;;
- : hash = 5ab2f8a4323abafb10abb68657d9d39f1a775057
Cstruct.set_char cs 0 'V' ;;
- : unit = ()
Blob.digest blob ;;
- : hash = 4081c40614b490bea69ea2ed8fdfdb86f04b5579
val to_cstruct : t -> Cstruct.t

to_cstruct blob is the Cstruct.t from the given blob. This function does not create a fresh Cstruct.t,

val of_string : string -> t

of_string str is the blob from the given string str.

Note. Despite of_cstruct, of_string does a copy of the given string.

val to_string : t -> string

to_string blob is the string from the given blob.

val length : t -> int64

length blob is the length of the given blob object.

val pp : t Fmt.t

Pretty-printer for t.

val equal : t -> t -> bool

The equal function for blobs.

val compare : t -> t -> int

The comparison function for blobs.

val hash : t -> int

hash blob associates a non-negative integer to any value of t. It is guaranteed that if x = y or compare x y = 0, then hash x = hash y.

module type S = sig ... end
module Make (Hash : sig ... end) : S with type hash = Hash.t

Functor building an implementation of the blob structure. The functor returns a structure containing a type hash of digests and a type t of blobs (structurally equal to t).
