Examples

Some examples using the Tibs library. The code for these can be found in the examples/ directory of the repo. They are grouped by the view (see User Manual) each one leans on most, though several use more than one.

The bits as a sequence

Searching a byte stream and slicing fields out of it.

• Scanning a binary log
• Scanning for an instruction pattern
• Patching a packed config word

Typed fields and views

Reading and writing numeric fields, with byte order and bit labels handled by a view.

• Building a binary header
• Decoding packed sensor samples
• Reading little-endian registers
• Decoding an eBPF instruction
• Reading a scattered register field

Sets of bits

Treating the container as a set of bit positions for algebra and comparison.

• Sieve of Eratosthenes
• Comparing fingerprints
