Interacting with binary files can be difficult because R's types are a subset of what is generally supported by 'C'. This package provides a suite of functions for reading and writing binary data (with files, connections, and raw vectors) using 'C' type descriptions. These functions convert data between 'C' types and R types while checking for values outside the type limits, 'NA' values, etc.
