Quotation Skeleton
The [New Jersey Machine-code] toolkit supports both little-endian and big-endian … The fields declaration binds field names to bit … shifts and masks needed to manipulate the value … ( width ) {field-name low-bit:high-bit} … [p. 502] Fields solve the problem of specifying binary … [order independent, specified length, overlap and gap detection].
