Module summary
Library for handling binary data.
Description
This module contains functions for manipulating byte-oriented binaries. Although the majority of functions could be provided 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 provided according to Erlang Enhancement Proposal (EEP) 31.
