Bitarrays are sequence types and behave very much +like usual lists. Eight bits are represented by one byte in a +contiguous block of memory. The user can select between two +representations: little-endian and big-endian. All functionality is +implemented in C. Methods for accessing the machine representation are +provided, including the ability to import and export buffers. This +allows creating bitarrays that are mapped to other objects, including +memory-mapped files. |
