#:BINARY
These are various utilities I wrote to read and write integers from
binary streams while working on a common lisp interface to the 9P
protocol. The following sets of functions are provided:
- read-{u32,u16,u8}: read unsigned 32-, 16-, and 8-bit integers
from a stream.
- write-{u32,u16,u8}: write unsigned 32-, 16-, and 8-bit integers
from a stream.
- read-{i32,i16,i8}: read signed 32-, 16-, and 8-bit integers
from a stream.
- write-{i32,i16,u8}: write signed 32-, 16-, and 8-bit integers
from a stream.
- octets: read binary data from a stream
- {int,uint}-from-bytes: read a signed or unsigned integer from
a byte array.
- {int,uint}-to-bytes: produce a byte array from a signed or
unsigned integer.
Most of these functions take an endian specifier. Valid endians are
:little for little endian (the default) and :big for big endian.
