# leb128
[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/jcalabro/leb128) [](https://github.com/jcalabro/leb128/actions/workflows/ci.yaml) [](https://codecov.io/github/jcalabro/leb128)
Go implementation of signed/unsigned LEB128. Encodes/decodes 8 byte integers.
## Usage
Full documentation is available at [gopkg.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/jcalabro/leb128).
#### Decoding
Read from an `io.Reader` in to an `int64` or `uint64`:
```go
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"github.com/jcalabro/leb128"
)
func unsigned() {
// using a buffer of length >10 in either the signed/unsigned case
// will return the error leb128.ErrOverflow
buf := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte{128, 2})
num, err := leb128.DecodeU64(buf)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(num) // 256
}
func signed() {
buf := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte{128, 126})
num, err := leb128.DecodeS64(buf)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(num) // -256
}
func main() {
unsigned()
signed()
}
```
#### Encoding
Convert an `int64` or `uint64` to a `[]byte`:
```go
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"github.com/jcalabro/leb128"
)
func unsigned() {
buf := leb128.EncodeU64(256)
fmt.Println(buf) // [128 2]
}
func signed() {
buf := leb128.EncodeS64(-256)
fmt.Println(buf) // [128 126]
}
func main() {
unsigned()
signed()
}
```
