Binary functions

These functions create and manipulate binary data.

Binary Formats

Reading numbers

Name Description
BinaryFormat.7BitEncodedSignedInteger A binary format that reads a 64-bit signed integer that was encoded using a 7-bit variable-length encoding.
BinaryFormat.7BitEncodedUnsignedInteger A binary format that reads a 64-bit unsigned integer that was encoded using a 7-bit variable-length encoding.
BinaryFormat.Binary Returns a binary format that reads a binary value.
BinaryFormat.Byte A binary format that reads an 8-bit unsigned integer.
BinaryFormat.Choice Returns a binary format that chooses the next binary format based on a value that has already been read.
BinaryFormat.Decimal A binary format that reads a .NET 16-byte decimal value.
BinaryFormat.Double A binary format that reads an 8-byte IEEE double-precision floating point value.
BinaryFormat.Group Returns a binary format that reads a group of items. Each item value is preceded by a unique key value. The result is a list of item values.
BinaryFormat.Length Returns a binary format that limits the amount of data that can be read. Both BinaryFormat.List and BinaryFormat.Binary can be used to read until end of the data. BinaryFormat.Length can be used to limit the number of bytes that are read.
BinaryFormat.List Returns a binary format that reads a sequence of items and returns a list.
BinaryFormat.Null A binary format that reads zero bytes and returns null.
BinaryFormat.Record Returns a binary format that reads a record. Each field in the record can have a different binary format.
BinaryFormat.SignedInteger16 A binary format that reads a 16-bit signed integer.
BinaryFormat.SignedInteger32 A binary format that reads a 32-bit signed integer.
BinaryFormat.SignedInteger64 A binary format that reads a 64-bit signed integer.
BinaryFormat.Single A binary format that reads a 4-byte IEEE single-precision floating point value.
BinaryFormat.Text Returns a binary format that reads a text value. The optional encoding value specifies the encoding of the text.
BinaryFormat.Transform Returns a binary format that will transform the values read by another binary format.
BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger16 A binary format that reads a 16-bit unsigned integer.
BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger32 A binary format that reads a 32-bit unsigned integer.
BinaryFormat.UnsignedInteger64 A binary format that reads a 64-bit unsigned integer.

Controlling byte order

Name Description
BinaryFormat.ByteOrder Returns a binary format with the byte order specified by a function.
Table.PartitionValues Returns information about how a table is partitioned.

Binary data

Name Description
Binary.ApproximateLength Returns the approximate length of the binary.
Binary.Buffer Buffers the binary value in memory. The result of this call is a stable binary value, which means it will have a deterministic length and order of bytes.
Binary.Combine Combines a list of binaries into a single binary.
Binary.Compress Compresses a binary value using the given compression type.
Binary.Decompress Decompresses a binary value using the given compression type.
Binary.From Returns a binary value from the given value.
Binary.FromList Converts a list of numbers into a binary value
Binary.FromText Decodes data from a text form into binary.
Binary.InferContentType Returns a record with field Content.Type that contains the inferred MIME-type.
Binary.Length Returns the length of binary values.
Binary.Range Returns a subset of the binary value beginning at an offset.
Binary.Split Splits the specified binary into a list of binaries using the specified page size.
Binary.ToList Converts a binary value into a list of numbers
Binary.ToText Encodes binary data into a text form.
Binary.View Creates or extends a binary with user-defined handlers for query and action operations.
Binary.ViewError Creates a modified error record which won't trigger a fallback when thrown by a handler defined on a view (via Binary.View).
Binary.ViewFunction Creates a function that can be intercepted by a handler defined on a view (via Binary.View).
#binary Creates a binary value from numbers or text.
