← SDK 6.3 · PAWN / Network
Pawn works with cells which has a size of 4 bytes. Native interfaces handling generic data like network messages have size limits for that data. If application does not need to work with a large numbers, several values can be packed into a single cell. This library provides some convenient functions to pack and unpack such values from array of cells which can be broadcasted over network by core functions.
