# 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),
}
```
```
