leb vint coding

  An unsigned variable length integer is found in [LEB128].

Implementation

  This package defines a pair of functions to perform LEB
  coding over UINT64.

Discussion

  The variable length integer enables tagged data payload
  coding.

    tagged-data := ( tag vint<m> payload[m] )

  An eight bit band is found in an octet sequence of known
  length.  A typical application is prefixed with an
  associate tag.
