Decode a boolean

Return the 8 most significant bits (same as dBE8)

Return the 8 most significant bits

Return the 16 most significant bits

Return the 32 most significant bits

Return the 64 most significant bits

Return the n most significant bits (up to maximum of 8)

The bits are returned right shifted:

>>> unflatWith (dBEBits8 3) [0b11100001::Word8] == Right 0b00000111
True

>>> unflatWith (dBEBits8 9) [0b11100001::Word8,0b11111111]
Left (BadOp "read8: cannot read 9 bits") 

Return the n most significant bits (up to maximum of 16)

The bits are returned right shifted:

>>> pPrint . asBits <$> unflatWith (dBEBits16 11) [0b10110111::Word8,0b11100001]
Right 00000101 10111111

If more than 16 bits are requested, only the last 16 are returned:

>>> pPrint . asBits <$> unflatWith (dBEBits16 19) [0b00000000::Word8,0b11111111,0b11100001]
Right 00000111 11111111 

Return the n most significant bits (up to maximum of 32) The bits are returned right shifted.

Return the n most significant bits (up to maximum of 64) The bits are returned right shifted.

Drop the specified number of bits

Decode a Float

Decode a Double

Decode a ByteString

Decode a Lazy ByteString

Decode a ByteArray and its length

A special state, optimised for constructor decoding.

It consists of:

• The bits to parse, the top bit being the first to parse (could use a Word16 instead, no difference in performance)
• The number of decoded bits

Supports up to 512 constructors (9 bits).

Switch to constructor decoding {-# INLINE consOpen #-}

Switch back to normal decoding {-# NOINLINE consClose #-}

Decode a single bit

Decode from 1 to 3 bits

It could read more bits that are available, but it doesn't matter, errors will be checked in consClose.

Given a value's decoder, returns the size in bits of the encoded value

Since: 0.6

Given a value's decoder, returns the value's bit encoding.

The encoding starts at the returned bit position in the return bytestring's first byte and ends in an unspecified bit position in its final byte
