# Peeks, Pokes, and Pointers

Peek from and poke structures into byte slices.

## Benchmark

Below are the benchmark results of comparison between `peek-poke` and `bincode` serializing and deserializing same `struct`:
```
struct MyPeekPokeStruct {
    a: u8,
    b: u16,
    c: MyPeekPokeEnum,
    d: Option<usize>,
}

enum MyPeekPokeEnum {
    Variant1,
    Variant2(u16),
}
```

```
