VarInt Encode

Category: Serialisation

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: string → byteArray

Background: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding#varints

What it does

Encodes a Vn integer as a VarInt. VarInt is an efficient way of encoding variable length integers and is commonly used with Protobuf.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

This operation takes no positional recipe arguments.

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = "example"
args = []
result = bake(input_value, ['VarInt Encode'])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = []
transform = Pipeline().then('VarInt Encode')
result = transform("example")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.varint_encode. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.varint_encode import run

result = run("example", tuple([]))

pychef.operations.by_operation.varint_encode.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

• value (str | bytes)

• args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
