Functions reading according to Big Endian byte order
val get_char : bigstring -> int -> charget_char buff i reads 1 byte at offset i as a char
val get_uint8 : bigstring -> int -> intget_uint8 buff i reads 1 byte at offset i as an unsigned int of 8 bits. i.e. It returns a value between 0 and 2^8-1
val get_int8 : bigstring -> int -> intget_int8 buff i reads 1 byte at offset i as a signed int of 8 bits. i.e. It returns a value between -2^7 and 2^7-1
val get_uint16 : bigstring -> int -> intget_uint16 buff i reads 2 bytes at offset i as an unsigned int of 16 bits. i.e. It returns a value between 0 and 2^16-1
val get_int16 : bigstring -> int -> intget_int16 buff i reads 2 byte at offset i as a signed int of 16 bits. i.e. It returns a value between -2^15 and 2^15-1
val get_int32 : bigstring -> int -> int32get_int32 buff i reads 4 bytes at offset i as an int32.
val get_int64 : bigstring -> int -> int64get_int64 buff i reads 8 bytes at offset i as an int64.
val get_float : bigstring -> int -> floatget_float buff i is equivalent to Int32.float_of_bits (get_int32 buff i)
val get_double : bigstring -> int -> floatget_double buff i is equivalent to Int64.float_of_bits (get_int64 buff i)
val set_char : bigstring -> int -> char -> unitset_char buff i v writes v to buff at offset i
val set_int8 : bigstring -> int -> int -> unitset_int8 buff i v writes the least significant 8 bits of v to buff at offset i
val set_int16 : bigstring -> int -> int -> unitset_int16 buff i v writes the least significant 16 bits of v to buff at offset i
val set_int32 : bigstring -> int -> int32 -> unitset_int32 buff i v writes v to buff at offset i
val set_int64 : bigstring -> int -> int64 -> unitset_int64 buff i v writes v to buff at offset i
val set_float : bigstring -> int -> float -> unitset_float buff i v is equivalent to set_int32 buff i (Int32.bits_of_float v)
val set_double : bigstring -> int -> float -> unitset_double buff i v is equivalent to set_int64 buff i (Int64.bits_of_float v)
