Chapter Five — General Functions (continued)
5.22.4 Binary Memory Functions
A series of functions are provided to access sections of buffers (memory) and compare data. This is useful for pattern matching and adjusting binary information.
For various contiguous arrays, such as a char array, individual sections memory can be accessed using array subscripts. However, this can be very inefficient and slow. The routines described in this section allow for easy access to a variable’s memory without the use subscripts, effectively treating the information as a block of raw binary information.
Functions:
BinaryCompare — Compares two variables (or literals) as binary memory.
BinaryCompareNoCase — Compares two variables (or literals) as binary characters without regard to case.
BinaryCopySegment — Copies data from a source segment of data and places it into a target buffer using optional specified position and number of bytes.
BinaryPutSegment — Puts a source segment of binary data into a target buffer at an optional specified position for an optional specified number of bytes.
BinaryReadRecord — Reads a series of variables from a specified source.
BinaryScan — Scans a segment of binary data for a specific pattern.
BinaryWriteRecord — Writes a series of variables to a specified target.
