blosc2.schunk_from_cframe

blosc2.schunk_from_cframe(cframe: bytes | str, copy: bool = False) → SChunk

Create a SChunk instance from a contiguous frame buffer.

Parameters:

• cframe (bytes or str) – The bytes object containing the in-memory cframe.

• copy (bool) – Whether to internally make a copy. If False, the user is responsible for keeping a reference to cframe. Default is False.

Returns:

out – A new SChunk containing the data passed.

Return type:

SChunk

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import blosc2
>>> nchunks = 4
>>> chunk_size = 200 * 1000 * 4
>>> data = np.arange(nchunks * chunk_size // 4, dtype=np.int32)
>>> cparams = blosc2.CParams(typesize=4)
>>> schunk = blosc2.SChunk(data=data, cparams=cparams)
>>> serialized_schunk = schunk.to_cframe()
>>> print(f"Serialized SChunk length: {len(serialized_schunk)} bytes")
Serialized SChunk length: 14129 bytes
>>> deserialized_schunk = blosc2.schunk_from_cframe(serialized_schunk)
>>> start = 1000
>>> stop = 1005
>>> sl_bytes = deserialized_schunk[start:stop]
>>> sl = np.frombuffer(sl_bytes, dtype=np.int32)
>>> print("Slice from deserialized SChunk:", sl)
Slice from deserialized SChunk: [1000 1001 1002 1003 1004]
>>> expected_slice = data[start:stop]
>>> print("Expected slice:", expected_slice)
Expected slice: [1000 1001 1002 1003 1004]
