bit-byte-bit 0.2.2

//! An `n`-bit string represented as ⌈ `n/8` ⌉ bytes.
//!
//! ## Instantiation
//!
//! Constructors defined in the [Bits] implementation generate bit strings
//! with a length that is either input-defined, or in the case of [Bits::new],
//! `8` times the length of the iterator.
//!
//! Constructors defined by the [From](Bits::from) or
//! [FromIterator](Bits::from_iter) traits generate bit strings with a length
//! based on the input. If a collection of `bool`, the length will be equal to
//! that of the input. If the input is a collection of `u8`, the length counts
//! all bits up to and including the most significant one bit.
//!
//! ```
//! # use bit_byte_bit::Bits;
//!
//! let bits = Bits::new([0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits.len(), 24);
//!
//! let bits_no_lz = Bits::from([0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits_no_lz.len(), 20);
//!
//! let aligned_bits = Bits::aligned(16, [0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(aligned_bits.len(), 32);
//!
//! let packed_bits = Bits::packed([0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(packed_bits, Bits::from([0xBA, 0x0C]));
//!
//! let bools = Bits::from([true, false, true, false, false, true]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bools, Bits::slice(&[0x25], 6));
//!
//! let slice = Bits::take(&[0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C], 3, 9);
//!
//! assert_eq!(slice, Bits::from([0x61, 0x01]));
//!```
//!
//! The [bits!] macro is also provided for convenience, wrapping the constructors:
//! * [Bits::new]
//! * [Bits::aligned]
//! * [Bits::ones]
//! * [Bits::packed]
//! * [Bits::zeros]
//!
//! ```
//! # use bit_byte_bit::{Bits, bits};
//! let bits = bits![0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C];
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits, Bits::new([0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]));
//!
//! let repeated_bytes = bits![8; 0x0F; 20];
//!
//! assert_eq!(repeated_bytes, Bits::new([0x0F; 20]));
//!
//! let aligned_bits = bits![0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C; => 16];
//!
//! assert_eq!(aligned_bits.len(), 32);
//!
//! let ones = bits![1; 20];
//!
//! assert_eq!(ones, Bits::ones(20));
//!
//! let packed_bits = bits![0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C; %];
//!
//! assert_eq!(packed_bits, Bits::from([0xBA, 0x0C]));
//!
//! let zeros = bits![0; 20];
//!
//! assert_eq!(zeros, Bits::zeros(20));
//!
//! ```
//!
//! ## Indexing
//!
//! [Bits::i] can be used to access an individual bit. Bits can be [set](Bits::set) to one,
//! [reset](Bits::reset) to zero, or [toggled](Bits::toggle).
//!
//! ```
//! # use bit_byte_bit::{Bits};
//! let mut bits = Bits::new([0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits.i(0), 0);
//! assert_eq!(bits.i(1), 1);
//!
//! bits.set(0);
//! bits.reset(1);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits.i(0), 1);
//! assert_eq!(bits.i(1), 0);
//!
//! bits.toggle(0);
//! bits.toggle(1);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits.i(0), 0);
//! assert_eq!(bits.i(1), 1);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Bitwise Operations
//!
//! Bit strings support [and](Bits::and), [or](Bits::or), [not](Bits::complement),
//! [xor](Bits::xor), [left](Bits::shifted_left) and [right](Bits::shifted_right)
//! shifting, as well as, [left](Bits::rotated_left), and [right](Bits::rotated_right)
//! rotation.
//!
//! ```
//! # use bit_byte_bit::{Bits};
//! let x = Bits::new([0x20, 0x30, 0x40]);
//! let y = Bits::new([0xA0, 0xB0, 0xC0]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(x.and(&y), Bits::new([0x20, 0x30, 0x40]));
//! assert_eq!(x.complement(), Bits::new([0xDF, 0xCF, 0xBF]));
//! assert_eq!(x.or(&y), Bits::new([0xA0, 0xB0, 0xC0]));
//! assert_eq!(x ^ &y, Bits::new([0x80, 0x80, 0x80]));
//!
//! let bits = Bits::from([0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C]);
//!
//! assert_eq!(bits.len(), 20);
//! assert_eq!(bits.shifted_left(17), Bits::slice(&[0x00, 0x00, 0x04], 20));
//! assert_eq!(bits.shifted_right(17), Bits::slice(&[0x06, 0x00, 0x00], 20));
//! assert_eq!(bits.rotated_left(4), Bits::slice(&[0xAC, 0xB0, 0x00], 20));
//! assert_eq!(bits.rotated_right(4), Bits::slice(&[0xB0, 0xC0, 0x0A], 20));
//! ```
//!
//! ## Iteration
//!
//! Iteration can be done bit-by-bit, or byte-by-byte using:
//! * [Bits::iter]
//! * [Bits::iter_from]
//! * [Bits::into_iter]
//! * [Bits::bytes] (via `&[u8]::iter`)
//! * [Bits::into_bytes]
//!
//!```
//! # use bit_byte_bit::{bits_as, Bits};
//! let x = Bits::new([0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF]);
//!
//! let mut ones = 0;
//!
//! for bit in x.iter() { if bit == 1 { ones += 1; } }
//!
//! assert_eq!(ones, 17);
//!
//! ones = 0;
//!
//! for bit in x.iter_from(13) { if bit == 1 { ones += 1; } }
//!
//! assert_eq!(ones, 9);
//!
//! let mut y = x.bytes().iter();
//!
//! assert_eq!(y.next(), Some(&0xAB));
//! 
//! let bits = Bits::new([0xBA, 0xDC, 0xFE]);
//! let shorts = bits_as::vec_i16(&bits);
//! let mut shorts_iter = shorts.into_iter();
//! 
//! assert_eq!(shorts_iter.next(), Some(0xDCBAu16 as i16));
//! assert_eq!(shorts_iter.next(), Some(0xFFFEu16 as i16));
//! 
//! let ushorts = Vec::<u16>::from(bits);
//! let mut ushorts_iter = ushorts.into_iter();
//! 
//! assert_eq!(ushorts_iter.next(), Some(0xDCBA));
//! assert_eq!(ushorts_iter.next(), Some(0x00FE));
//! ```
//! 
//! # Bit Schemes
//! 
//! [Scheme](/bit-byte-bit/reference/scheme.md) implements a simple bit string pattern matcher inspired by Erlang's
//! bit syntax. Schemes are used to give meaning to different regions of a bit string.
//! 
//! ### Example
//! 
//! ---
//! 
//! `ipv4_header_scheme` will define the part of the IPv4 datagram header that does not include the options.
//! This scheme will then be used to process more bits from the bit string. `Scheme::split_*` methods return a vector
//! of `Bits` corresponding to each field. `Scheme::extract_from_*` methods return a hashmap, corresponding each
//! field with a key.
//! 
//!```rust
//! # use bit_byte_bit::{Bits, bits_as, Field, Scheme};
//!
//! const IPV4_HEADER_BIT_LEN: usize = 160;
//! const IPV4_HEADER_BYTE_LEN: usize = 20;
