serialize_tuple🔗
Short description🔗
serialize_tuple — Serialize a tuple.
Signature🔗
serialize_tuple( tuple Tuple, out serialized_item SerializedItemHandle )
Description🔗
serialize_tuple serializes the data of a tuple (see
fwrite_serialized_item for an introduction of the basic
principle of serialization). The same data that is written in a
file by write_tuple is converted to a serialized item.
The tuple is defined by the handle Tuple. The
serialized data of a tuple is returned by the handle
SerializedItemHandle and can be deserialized by
deserialize_tuple.
Note that not all handle types can be serialized.
If Tuple contains a handle that can not be serialized or that
has been freed already, an exception is raised.
The operators tuple_is_serializable and
tuple_is_serializable_elem can be used to find out if a tuple or
its elements can be serialized.
Execution information🔗
Execution information
-
Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
-
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
-
Processed without parallelization.
Parameters🔗
Tuple (input_control) tuple(-array) → (real / integer / string / handle)
Tuple.
SerializedItemHandle (output_control) serialized_item → (handle)
Handle of the serialized item.
Result🔗
If the parameters are valid, the operator
serialize_tuple returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If
necessary, an exception is raised.
