Public Class methods

bytes_needed(count)

calculate how many bytes are needed to save count

charset_convert(str,from,to="UTF-8")

Convert the given string from one charset to another

charset_strlen(str,charset="UTF-8")

Count characters considering character set

pack_it_with_size(nbytes,int)

pack an int of nbytes with size

type_bytes(type, length)

Create a type byte for binary format as defined by apple

Public Instance methods

array_to_binary(val)

Convert array to binary format and add it to the object table

bool_to_binary(val)

Convert a bool value to binary and add it to the object table

data_to_binary(val)

Convert data value to binary format and add it to the object table

date_to_binary(val)

Convert date value (apple format) to binary and adds it to the object table

dict_to_binary(val)

Convert dictionary to binary format and add it to the object table

int_to_binary(value)

Codes an integer to binary format

load(opts)

Read a binary plist file

num_to_binary(value)

Converts a numeric value to binary and adds it to the object table

real_to_binary(val)

Codes a real value to binary format

string_to_binary(val)

Uniques and transforms a string value to binary format and adds it to the object table

to_str(opts={})

Convert CFPropertyList to binary format; since we have to count our objects we simply unique CFDictionary and CFArray
