read_zt_byte_strings
(fobj, n_strings=1, bufsize=1024)¶ Read zero-terminated byte strings from a file object fobj
Returns byte strings with terminal zero stripped.
Found strings can be of any length.
The file position of fobj on exit will be at the byte after the terminal 0 of the final read byte string.
Parameters: f : fileobj
File object to use. Should implement
read
, returning byte objects, andseek(n, 1)
to seek from current file position.n_strings : int, optional
Number of byte strings to return
bufsize: int, optional
Define chunk size to load from file while searching for zero terminals. We load this many bytes at a time from the file, but the returned strings can be longer than bufsize.
Returns: byte_strings : list
List of byte strings, where strings do not include the terminal 0
