Bencode Erlang Library Implementation

## Build

    $ rebar3 compile

## Usage

You can encode Erlang terms to Bencoded string:

    > {ok, E} = bencode:encode([1, 2, 3, mystring]).

	{ok,<<"li1ei2ei3e8:mystringe">>}

    > E.

	<<"li1ei2ei3e8:mystringe">>

You can also decode Bencoded string to Erlang terms:

    > {ok, D} = bencode_decode(B).

	{ok,[1,2,3,<<"mystring">>]}

	> D.

	[1,2,3,<<"mystring">>]

If you want to parse torrent file:

    > {ok, Torrent} = file:read_file("/path/to/my.torrent").

	> {ok, Decoded} = bencode:decode(Torrent).

	> Decoded.
