Bice, a tiny module that offers a fast way to swap arbitrary length sequences of bytes within a Buffer, using only the Buffer itself and the bitwise XOR operator.

Install

$ npm install bice [-g]

require returns an helper hash/obj.

var Bice  = require( 'bice' );

Run Tests

to run all test files, install devDependecies:

 $ cd bice/
 # install or update devDependecies  
 $ npm install --dev
 # run tests 
 $ npm test

to execute a single test file simply do:

 $ node test/file-name.js

Methods

Arguments within [ ] are optional.

/*
 * Swap 2 sequences in a Buffer, swapping 1 byte at the time.
 * It returns true if swapping was successfull, false otherwise.
 *
 * NOTE:
 * - sequences shouldn't overlap.
 * - sequences shouldn't overflow Buffer length.
 * - sequence 1 starts from pos1 and ends to pos1 + bytes - 1.
 * - sequence 2 starts from pos2 and ends to pos2 + bytes - 1.
 * - pos1 could be > than pos2, the order of indexes doesn't matter.
 */

/*
 * Reverse an entire Buffer or a part of it, swapping 1 byte at the time.
 * It returns true if reversing was successfull, false otherwise.
 */

/*
 * Compares values from 2 buffers.
 * Optionally, it accepts the number of bytes to read; if it is not specified,
 * it compares a number of bytes equals to the length of the smaller Buffer.
 *
 * It returns:
 *
 * -  0 when b1 === b2
 * - +1 when b1 > b2
 * - -1 when b1 < b2
