BitWrap

BitWrap is a derive macro and trait to declare a struct data member with explicit size, in bits.

BitWrapExt Trait

Trait declares 2 methods:

fn pack(&self, dst: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize, BitWrapError>

pack method serialize struct fields into dst array

fn unpack(&mut self, src: &[u8]) -> Result<usize, BitWrapError>

unpack method deserialize struct fields from src array
