Function DecodeUint64Ascending

pkg/util/encoding/encoding.go:200–206

DecodeUint64Ascending decodes a uint64 from the input buffer, treating the input as a big-endian 8 byte uint64 representation. The remainder of the input buffer and the decoded uint64 are returned.

(b []byte)

// the input as a big-endian 8 byte uint64 representation. The remainder
// of the input buffer and the decoded uint64 are returned.
func DecodeUint64Ascending(b []byte) ([]byte, uint64, error) {
	if len(b) < 8 {
		return nil, 0, errors.Errorf("insufficient bytes to decode uint64 int value")
	}
	v := binary.BigEndian.Uint64(b)
	return b[8:], v, nil
}

// DecodeUint64Descending decodes a uint64 value which was encoded
// using EncodeUint64Descending.
