Rust API

Function wasm_chunking_fastcdc::compute_chunks

pub fn compute_chunks(
    source: &[u8], 
    min_size: u32, 
    avg_size: u32, 
    max_size: u32
) -> Result<Vec<u32>, RangeError>

Compute chunks from a given slice of bytes.

The min_size specifies the preferred minimum chunk size, max_size the preferred maximum chunk size; the avg_size is the desired “normal size” of the chunks. The smallest acceptable min_size is 64 bytes and likewise 256 bytes and 1024 bytes for avg_size and respectively max_size

A js_sys::RangeError is returned when the above chunking specification is out of range.

Example:

use wasm_chunking_fastcdc::compute_chunks;
let data: Vec<u8> = br"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...put more bits in here...".to_vec();
let slice: &[u8] = &data;
let min_size: u32 = 64;
let avg_size: u32 = 256;
let max_size: u32 = 1024;
let offsets: Vec<u32> = compute_chunks(slice, min_size, avg_size, max_size).unwrap();
