# bytecount

Counting bytes really fast

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/llogiq/bytecount.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/llogiq/bytecount)

[![Current Version](http://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/bytecount)](https://crates.io/crates/bytecount)

This uses the "hyperscreamingcount" algorithm by Joshua Landau to count bytes

faster than anything else. The [newlinebench](/llogiq/newlinebench) repository

has further benchmarks.

To use bytecount in your crate, if you have

[cargo-edit](/killercup/cargo-edit), just type `cargo add bytecount` in a

terminal with the crate root as the current path. Otherwise you can manually

edit your `Cargo.toml` to add `bytecount = 0.0.1` to your `[dependencies]`

section.

In your crate root (`lib.rs` or `main.rs`, depending on if you are writing a

library or application), add `extern crate bytecount;`. Now you can simply use

`bytecount::count` as follows:

```Rust

extern crate bytecount;

fn main() {

    let mytext = "some potentially large text, perhaps read from disk?";

    let spaces = bytecount::count(mytext.as_bytes(), b' ');

    ..

}

```

The algorithm is explained in depth
