Function DecodeBytesDescending

pkg/util/encoding/encoding.go:765–771

DecodeBytesDescending decodes a []byte value from the input buffer which was encoded using EncodeBytesDescending. The decoded bytes are appended to r. The remainder of the input buffer and the decoded []byte are returned. Note that this method internally will always perform a deep copy, so there is

(b []byte, r []byte)

// no need to introduce DecodeBytesDescendingDeepCopy to mirror
// DecodeBytesAscendingDeepCopy.
func DecodeBytesDescending(b []byte, r []byte) ([]byte, []byte, error) {
	// Ask for the deep copy to make sure we never get back a sub-slice of `b`,
	// since we're going to modify the contents of the slice.
	b, r, err := decodeBytesInternal(b, r, descendingBytesEscapes, true /* expectMarker */, true /* deepCopy */)
	onesComplement(r)
	return b, r, err
}

// decodeBytesInternal decodes an encoded []byte value from b and appends it to
// r. The remainder of b and the decoded []byte are returned. If deepCopy is
