NOTE: I know that this has been asked many times before, but none of the questions have had a link to a concrete, portable, maintained library for this.

I need a C or C++ library that implements Python/Ruby/Perl like pack/unpack functions. Does such a library exist?

EDIT: Because the data I am sending is simple, I have decided to just use memcpy, pointers, and the hton* functions. Do I need to manipulate a char in any way to send it over the network in a platform agnostic manner? (the char is only used as a byte, not as a character).
