# The devel/ocaml-bitstring port

## ocaml-bitstring-2.0.4p0 – Erlang-style bitstrings for OCaml

## Description

    The ocaml-bitstring project adds Erlang-style bitstrings and matching
    over bitstrings as a syntax extension and library for OCaml. You
    can use this module to both parse and generate binary formats, files
    and protocols. Bitstring handling is added as primitives to the
    language, making it exceptionally simple to use and very powerful.
    Bitstring handles integers, strings, sub-bitstrings, big-, little-
    and native-endianness, signed and unsigned types, variable-width
    fields, and fields with arbitrary bit alignment.
