Steam::ID::Mask

Inherits Struct < Value < Object

A Mask is used as basic wrapper around UInt64 for performing binary operations, specifically for composing the binary format of a Steam ID. Its namespace includes constants for each component of an ID that can be used to decode a UInt64 with #extract_from.

Masks

LowestBit - The first bit of the number. It is used only in encoding a 64 bit ID into certain string formats.

AccountID - The canonical ID of the account encoded in the ID

Instance - The instance of the account

0b0000000000001111111111111111111100000000000000000000000000000000

AccountType - The type of this account. Abstracted as ID::AccountType

0b0000000011110000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Universe - The universe this account belongs to. Abstracted as ID::Universe
