Structured binary data tools

by Sean Bartell for HelenOS group at Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems, Charles University in Prague

Exploring structured binary data is frequently necessary in HelenOS. Hex editors and scripting languages require too much work and don't handle the data in a fully structured way. I will create a portable library and tools to make exploring structured binary data faster and easier. Although some tools already exist, my approach is more general and powerful. I will focus on making my tools highly versatile and making it easy to handle new structures.
