Module core::ascii

Operations on ASCII strings and characters.

Most string operations in Rust act on UTF-8 strings. However, at times it makes more sense to only consider the ASCII character set for a specific operation.

The escape_default function provides an iterator over the bytes of an escaped version of the character given.

Modules

• ascii_char 🔒
  This uses the name AsciiChar, even though it’s not exposed that way right now, because it avoids a whole bunch of “are you sure you didn’t mean char?” suggestions from rustc if you get anything slightly wrong in here, and overall helps with clarity as we’re also referring to char intentionally in here.

Structs

• EscapeDefault

Enums

• CharExperimental
  One of the 128 Unicode characters from U+0000 through U+007F, often known as the ASCII subset.
