qc-1.0.0 is not a library.
qc
qc (short for quick calc) is an enhanced Reverse Polish notation (RPN) command line tool designed to assist with quick and dirty calcs.
qc offers enhancements to a traditional RPN calculator including the use of a : before all operators that pops all items before it off the stack, performs the operation, and pushes the result onto the stack. Examples are included below.
Installation
Pre-built binaries
Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows can be found on the releases page.
You can use the following command to download the latest binary for Linux,
MacOS or Windows, just replace DEST with the directory where you'd like to
install the qc binary:

Cargo
qc is written in Rust and can be built from
source and installed with cargo install qc. To get Rust, use the
rustup installer.

Endianness Swapping
To swap the endianness of a value, the byte width is also required: $ qc <value> <byte width> endian.
$ qc 0xdeadbabe 4 endian .

- Hexadecimal, octal, and binary formatted print
- Endianness swapping on all stack items plus formatted print
- Hashing on all stack items
