Detailed Description

A specialized container class to hold BLE attribute values.

This class is designed to be more memory efficient than using
standard container types for value storage, while being convertible to
many different container classes.

◆ append()

NimBLEAttValue & NimBLEAttValue::append ( const uint8_t *  value,
uint16_t  len 
)
inline

Append data to the value.

Parameters
[in]valueA ponter to a data buffer with the value to append.
[in]lenThe length of the value to append in bytes.
Returns
A reference to the appended NimBLEAttValue.

◆ getValue() [1/2]

const uint8_t * NimBLEAttValue::getValue ( time_t *  timestamp)
inline

Get a pointer to the value buffer with timestamp.

Parameters
[in]timestampA ponter to a time_t variable to store the timestamp.
Returns
A pointer to the internal value buffer.

◆ getValue() [2/2]

template<typename T >
T NimBLEAttValue::getValue ( time_t *  timestamp = nullptr,
bool  skipSizeCheck = false 
)
inline

Template to return the value as a <type>.

Template Parameters
TThe type to convert the data to.
Parameters
[in]timestampA pointer to a time_t struct to store the time the value was read.
[in]skipSizeCheckIf true it will skip checking if the data size is less than
sizeof(<type>).
Returns
The data converted to <type> or NULL if skipSizeCheck is false and the data is
less than sizeof(<type>).

Use: getValue<type>(&timestamp, skipSizeCheck);
