Crate packet_formats

Expand description

Serialization and deserialization of wire formats.

This module provides efficient serialization and deserialization of the various wire formats used by this program. Where possible, it uses lifetimes and immutability to allow for safe zero-copy parsing.

§Endianness

All values exposed or consumed by this crate are in host byte order, so the caller does not need to worry about it. Any necessary conversions are performed under the hood.
