Function EncodeUint64Ascending

pkg/util/encoding/encoding.go:263–267

EncodeUint64Ascending encodes the uint64 value using a big-endian 8 byte representation. The bytes are appended to the supplied buffer and the final buffer is returned.

(b []byte, v uint64)

// representation. The bytes are appended to the supplied buffer and
// the final buffer is returned.
func EncodeUint64Ascending(b []byte, v uint64) []byte {
	return append(b,
		byte(v>>56), byte(v>>48), byte(v>>40), byte(v>>32),
		byte(v>>24), byte(v>>16), byte(v>>8), byte(v))
}

// EncodeUint64Descending encodes the uint64 value so that it sorts in
// reverse order, from largest to smallest.
