A super fast and lightweight struct implementation in luau using buffers.

• "b" a signed char.
• "B" an unsigned char.
• "h" a signed short (2 bytes).
• "H" an unsigned short (2 bytes).
• "i" a signed int (4 bytes).
• "I" an unsigned int (4 bytes).
• "l" a signed long (8 bytes).
• "L" an unsigned long (8 bytes).
• "f" a float (4 bytes).
• "d" a double (8 bytes).
• "s" a zero-terminated string.
• "cn" a sequence of exactly n chars corresponding to a single Lua string (if n <= 0 then for packing - the string length is taken, unpacking - the number value of the previous unpacked value which is not returned).

local packed: buffer = struct.pack('<LI', 123456789123456789, 123456789)
local L, I = struct.unpack('<LI', packed)
print(L, I)

print(buffer.tostring(packed))
