The library handles byte-oriented data. Bitstrings that are not binaries (does not contain whole octets of bits) will result in a badarg exception being thrown from any of the functions in this module.

Module summary
Library for handling binary data
Description
This module contains functions for manipulating byte-oriented binaries. Although the majority of functions could be implemented using bit-syntax, the functions in this library are highly optimized and are expected to either execute faster or consume less memory (or both) than a counterpart written in pure Erlang.
The module is implemented according to the EEP (Erlang Enhancement Proposal) 31.
