# Module std::ascii 1.0.0 [−] [src]

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 `AsciiExt` trait provides methods that allow for character operations that only act on the ASCII subset and leave non-ASCII characters alone.

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

## Structs

EscapeDefault | An iterator over the escaped version of a byte.

## Traits

AsciiExt | Extension methods for ASCII-subset only operations.

## Functions

escape_default | Returns an iterator that produces an escaped version of a `u8`.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
