NAME

       modbus_get_byte_from_bits - get the value from many bits

SYNOPSIS

       uint8_t modbus_get_byte_from_bits(const uint8_t *src, int index, unsigned int nb_bits);

DESCRIPTION

       The modbus_get_byte_from_bits() function shall extract a value from many bits. All nb_bits
       bits from src at position index will be read as a single value. To obtain a full byte, set
       nb_bits to 8.

RETURN VALUE

       The function shall return a byte containing the bits read.
