t.n.d.IEncodable(Interface) : interface documentation

Interface for something which can be encoded to and decoded from a file object.

Method	encode	Write a representation of this object to the given file object.
Method	decode	Reconstruct an object from data read from the given file object.

def encode(strio, compDict=None): (source)

Write a representation of this object to the given file object.

Parameters	strio	The stream to which to write bytes (type: File-like object)
	compDict	A dictionary of backreference addresses that have have already been written to this stream and that may be used for compression. (type: `dict` or `None`)

def decode(strio, length=None): (source)

Reconstruct an object from data read from the given file object.

Parameters	strio	The stream from which bytes may be read (type: File-like object)
	length	The number of bytes in this RDATA field. Most implementations can ignore this value. Only in the case of records similar to TXT where the total length is in no way encoded in the data is it necessary. (type: `int` or `None`)
