Methods

new

submethod BUILD ( Buf :$data, Int :$type = BSON::C-GENERIC )

Store binary data in the object. The following codes are available:

• C-GENERIC. Generic binary data. Used for any non structured data.

• C-FUNCTION. Encoding of function code.

• C-UUID. Encoding of UUID.

• C-MD5. Encoding of MD5.

perl

method perl ( Int $indent = 0 --> Str )

Should be used like any other perl without the $indent set. Otherwise it starts of indented.

encode

method encode ( --> Buf )

Encode the binary data. Mostly called from BSON::Document.

decode

method decode (
    Buf:D $b,
    Int:D $index is copy,
    Int:D $nbr-bytes
    --> BSON::Binary
  )

Decode a Buf to BSON::Binary. Mostly called from BSON::Document.
