# ArcBufferCodec

Package: [Microsoft.Orleans.Serialization](/orleans/docs/api/csharp/microsoft.orleans.serialization/) 10.0.0

[NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Orleans.Serialization) | [Source](https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/blob/997f2589e814db85c6a451b59c081c88e50b8944/src/Orleans.Serialization/Codecs/ArcBufferCodec.cs#L15)

```csharp
public sealed class ArcBufferCodec : IFieldCodec, IFieldCodec<ArcBuffer>
```

Serializes raw Arc bytes while preserving the source's ownership and contents.

## Remarks

The caller owns each decoded buffer and disposes it when finished. Struct assignments borrow that ownership; [ArcBuffer](/orleans/docs/api/csharp/microsoft.orleans.serialization/orleans.serialization.buffers.arcbuffer/) acquires an independent owner.
