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.

This library was formerly known as 'bitmatch'.

Please see the html subdirectory for developer documentation.

The only requirements are OCaml >= 4.02.0, camlp4, ocamldoc, and findlib.

If you optionally have CIL (http://cil.sourceforge.net/) installed
then there are some nice extra tools for converting C header files
into matchable OCaml structures.

To build:

	./configure
	make

Other make targets:

	make check		# build and run the test suite

	make examples		# build the examples

	make print-tests	# print expanded test macros
	make print-examples	# print expanded example macros

To install (as root):

	make install
