API --- `vim-bencode` provides three functions. ### `bencode#Bencode(vimobject)` Take a Vim object and return a bencoded string. Do whatever you want with it. Example: :echo bencode#Bencode([1, "dogs"]) li1e4:dogse ### `bencode#Bdecode(somestring)` Take a bencoded string and return a Vim Number/String/List/Dict representing the first bencoded item in the stream. If there's more than one thing in the stream the rest will be ignored. If you pass this function garbage all bets are off. God help you. Example: :echo bencode#Bdecode("i1ei2e") 1 ### `bencode#BdecodeAll(somestring)` Take a bencoded string and return a list of Vim objects of all the things that were in the bencoded string. God help you if you pass this something that's not valid bencode data. :echo bencode#BdecodeAll("i1ei2e") [1, 2] License ======= MIT/X11
