BinaryIO

DESCRIPTION

BinaryIO class is used to read and write binary data.

The BinaryIO class is built on the reusable mixins `BinaryIO::Readable` and `BinaryIO::Writable`. Readable solely depends one method, `#read(n)`, which must be defined in the class/module where the module is mixed. Likewise Writeable depends on `write(str)`.

HISTORY

Almost all of BinaryIO’s code was written by Michael Neumann as BinaryReader, BinaryWriter and ByteOrder. These modules were distributed with Ruby Facets for some time, but when Facets began to strip itself of most non core extension libraries in 2009, these scripts were spun off as a separate project and reorganized to become the BinaryIO library.
