Name        : ocaml-bin-prot
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 2.0.9
Release     : 3.fc18
URL         : http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/bin-prot
Summary     : Read and write OCaml values in a type-safe binary protocol
Description :
This library contains functionality for reading and writing OCaml
values in a type-safe binary protocol. These functions are extremely
efficient and provide users with a convenient and safe way of
performing I/O on any extensionally defined data type. This means that
functions, objects, and values whose type is bound through a
polymorphic record field are not supported, but everything else is.

As of now, there is no support for cyclic or shared values. Cyclic
values will lead to non-termination whereas shared values, besides
requiring significantly more space when encoded, may lead to a
substantial increase in memory footprint when they are read back in.
