Function EncodeUvarintAscending

pkg/util/encoding/encoding.go:406–431

EncodeUvarintAscending encodes the uint64 value using a variable length (length-prefixed) representation. The length is encoded as a single byte indicating the number of encoded bytes (-8) to follow. See EncodeVarintAscending for rationale. The encoded bytes are appended to the supplied buffer and t

(b []byte, v uint64)
