bit
bit is a library that makes it easier to dynamically manipulate data buffers containing fields that do not have octet (byte) boundaries. An example is the IP header, which is generally dealt with at compile time via bit fields in a structure. A key feature of the bit library is support for loading data formats described in XML files and dynamically parsing those fields at run time. This library was initially created to support reading various kinds of robotic device I/O (IR sensors, motors), but it has also been used for run time parsing of IP, TCP, UDP, and RTP headers.
