*Pokology* is a website maintained by the poke developers and users as a
live repository of knowledge relative to GNU poke.

      GNU poke is an interactive, extensible editor for binary
      data.  Not limited to editing basic entities such as bits
      and bytes, it provides a full-fledged procedural,
      interactive programming language designed to describe data
      structures and to operate on them.
