# Trait collections::fmt::LowerHex 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub trait LowerHex {
        fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>;
    }

Format trait for the `x` character.

The `LowerHex` trait should format its output as a number in hexadecimal, with `a` through `f` in lower case.

The alternate flag, `#`, adds a `0x` in front of the output.

For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.

# Examples

Basic usage with `i32`:

    let x = 42; // 42 is '2a' in hex

    assert_eq!(format!("{:x}", x), "2a");
    assert_eq!(format!("{:#x}", x), "0x2a");

Implementing `LowerHex` on a type:

    use std::fmt;

    struct Length(i32);

    impl fmt::LowerHex for Length {
        fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
            let val = self.0;

            write!(f, "{:x}", val) // delegate to i32's implementation
        }
    }

    let l = Length(9);

    println!("l as hex is: {:x}", l);

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
