Bitarrays are sequence types and behave very much like usual lists. + Eight bits are represented by one byte in a contiguous block of memory. The + user can select between two representations; little-endian and big-endian. + Most of the functionality is implemented in C. Methods for accessing the + machine representation are provided. This can be useful when bit level access + to binary files is required, such as portable bitmap image files (.pbm). Also, + when dealing with compressed data which uses variable bit length encoding, + you may find this module useful. + + baldeagleos-repo + -- cgit v1.3.1
