Functions

func Decode

func Decode(b []byte) uint64

Decodes big-endian byte array into a uint64 left-padded zero bytes are ignored. Disregards extra bytes if len(b) > 8

func Encode

func Encode(b []byte, n uint64) []byte

Encodes a uint64 into a big-endian byte slice To avoid an allocation, or to have a padded result, supply an initialized value for b -otherwise use nil. Panics when provided slice is too small for n.
