libndbuf: Network-oriented buffer operations library
----------------------------------------------------

1. What is it?
A small C library providing a simple API to read and write typed values
to/from buffers with correct endianness handling.

2. Purpose
Make parsing and building network packets easy and concise. The API is
intended to act like a binary printf/scanf for packet fields.

Example:

Packet layout:
<16-bit><8-bit><32-bit><raw data>

Reading with a single call:
ndbuf_escan(buf, "wbdR", &a16, &a8, &a32, &data_ptr)

The same style is used to build packets.

3. Future plans
 * Improve the API ergonomics (better support for preallocated buffers).
 * Add convenience helpers and safer bounds checks.
 * Possibly extend format specifiers and documentation.
