# msb128

std::io::{Read, Write} **positive**, primitive Rust integers in the Most

Significant Base 128 (MSB128) variable-length encoding.

MSB128 is also known as [Variable Length Quantity] (VLQ) encoding and similar

to the [Little Endian Base 128] (LEB128) encoding (other endianness).

[Variable Length Quantity]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_quantity

[Little Endian Base 128]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEB128

Each byte is encoded into 7 bits, and one is subtracted (excluding the last

byte). The highest bit indicates if more bytes follow. Reading stops after a

byte with the highest bit set is read or if the underlying Rust primitive

overflows.
