From reading the examples, it looks like one can only serialise to a file descriptor. What if i wan to serialise to a byte array? Am I perhaps missing something

- kentonv 10y agoYou can certainly serialize to a byte array. The example uses a file descriptor but in fact the code defines an abstract stream type which you can implement any way you want, and you can also obtain pointers to the message's underlying storage in order to extract the bytes directly (avoiding a copy).
