--- -- Pack and unpack binary data. -- -- THIS LIBRARY IS DEPRECATED! Please use builtin Lua 5.3 string.pack facilities. -- -- A problem script authors often face is the necessity of encoding values -- into binary data. For example after analyzing a protocol the starting -- point to write a script could be a hex dump, which serves as a preamble -- to every sent packet. Although it is possible to work with the -- functionality Lua provides, it's not very convenient. Therefore NSE includes -- Binlib, based on lpack (http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/) -- by Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo. -- -- The Binlib functions take a format string to encode and decode binary -- data. Packing and unpacking are controlled by the following operator -- characters: -- * H hex string -- * B bit string -- * x null byte -- * z zero-terminated string -- * p string preceded by 1-byte integer length -- * P string preceded by 2-byte integer length -- * a string preceded by 4-byte integer length -- * A string -- * f float -- * d double -- * n Lua number -- * c char (1-byte integer) -- * C byte = unsigned char (1-byte unsigned integer) -- * s short (2-byte integer) -- * S unsigned short (2-byte unsigned integer) -- * i int (4-byte integer) -- * I unsigned int (4-byte unsigned integer) -- * l long (8-byte integer) -- * L unsigned long (8-byte unsigned integer) -- * < little endian modifier -- * > big endian modifier -- * = native endian modifier -- -- Note that the endian operators work as modifiers to all the -- characters following them in the format string. local assert = assert local ipairs = ipairs local tonumber = tonumber local char = require "string".char local insert = require "table".insert local move = require "table".move local pack = require "table".pack local unpack = require "table".unpack local _ENV = {} --- Returns a binary packed string. -- -- The format string describes how the parameters (p1, -- ...) will be interpreted.
