This library for OCaml contains functionnality to access
datastructures using a determined byte-layouts such as networking
datagrams or binay file formats (e.g.).
A PPX syntax extension is provided to allow the definition of
byte-layouts in the form of "cstruct" type definitions -- looking much
alike the well-known structure declaration of the C programming
language (hence the name of this library) --, and to generate accessor
functions to manipule its members.
In addition to those core features, the library contains accessory
functions allowing:
- The representation of "cstruct" as S-expression;
- I/O operations over the Unix OCaml library and the Lwt cooperative
threading library. The async integration is currently not provided
by this port (patch welcome!).
