bitstreamio: Read and Write Bits from Files, Connections and Raw Vectors
Mike Cheng · 2025
Bit-level reading and writing are necessary when dealing with many file formats e.g. compressed data and binary files. Currently, R connections are manipulated at the byte level. This package wraps existing connections and raw vectors so that it is possible to read bits, bit sequences, unaligned bytes and low-bit representations of integers.
