Byte and word access to memory
Byte Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a Rust crate that should not exist. Byte-al Knight, a memory-safe loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of binary formats who operate above the law.
This library provides byte and multi-byte-level access to memory without using any unsafe code. It supports little- and big-endian byte ordering. This crate is used by Diosix to access binary data in RAM. As such, it does not require the standard library. However, it will require a dynamic memory allocator to create binary structures.
If you wish to use this for your own project, let me know and I’ll tidy up the documentation and API.
