Specific Formats

The library currently recognizes the following bit-focused formats.

Qword Table

Used to print bytes formatted as a table of QWORDs (32-bit) (8 bytes per row).

Example

The following is an example of the output produced by bitformat::QwordTable

       +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 Bytes | Byte 0 | Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 | Byte 4 | Byte 5 | Byte 6 | Byte 7 |
+------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
|QWORD |10000001|10000011|01011010|00001110|10010001|00110110|00111011|01101100|
|  1   |   (129)|   (131)|    (90)|    (14)|   (145)|    (54)|    (59)|   (108)|
+------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
|QWORD |11110010|
|  2   |   (242)|
+------+--------+

WebSocket Data Frame

Formats WebSocket data frames as specified in RFC6455: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-5.2

Example

The following is an example of the output produced by bitformat::WebSocketFrame
