+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

+# BitReader
+
+BitReader is a helper type to extract strings of bits from a slice of bytes.
+
+[![Published Package](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/bitreader.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/bitreader)
+[![Documentation](https://docs.rs/bitreader/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/bitreader)
+[![Build Status](https://github.com/irauta/bitreader/actions/workflows/rust.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/irauta/bitreader/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
+
+Here is how you read first a single bit, then three bits and finally four bits from a byte buffer:
+
+    use bitreader::BitReader;
+
+    let slice_of_u8 = &[0b1000_1111];
+    let mut reader = BitReader::new(slice_of_u8);
+
+    // You obviously should use try! or some other error handling mechanism here
+    let a_single_bit = reader.read_u8(1).unwrap(); // 1
+    let more_bits = reader.read_u8(3).unwrap(); // 0
+    let last_bits_of_byte = reader.read_u8(4).unwrap(); // 0b1111
+
+You can naturally read bits from longer buffer of data than just a single byte.
+
+As you read bits, the internal cursor of BitReader moves on along the stream of bits. Big endian format is assumed when reading the multi-byte values. BitReader supports reading maximum of 64 bits at a time (with read_u64).

+//! You can naturally read bits from longer buffer of data than just a single byte.
+//!
+//! As you read bits, the internal cursor of BitReader moves on along the stream of bits. Big
+//! endian format is assumed when reading the multi-byte values. BitReader supports reading maximum
+//! of 64 bits at a time (with read_u64). Reading signed values directly is not supported at the
+//! moment.
+//!
+//! The reads do not need to be aligned in any particular way.
+//!
+//! Reading zero bits is a no-op.
+//!
+//! You can also skip over a number of bits, in which case there is no arbitrary small limits like
+//! when reading the values to a variable. However, you can not seek past the end of the slice,
+//! either when reading or when skipping bits.
+//!
+//! Note that the code will likely not work correctly if the slice is longer than 2^61 bytes, but
+//! exceeding that should be pretty unlikely. Let's get back to this when people read exabytes of
+//! information one bit at a time.
