If we assume that you are just convert 8 bits, here is one way with a

Dear R-help members,

I'm processing a large amount of MODIS data where quality assessment
information is stored as an integer value for each pixel. I have to
converted this number to an 8 digit binary flag to get access to the
stored quality code (e.g. in2bin(165,8) = 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1).

Unfortunately, I did not manage to find a package providing a fast
function to do so. I need to run this on millions of pixels and thus
wrote the following function.

int2bin<- function(x,ndigits){
     base<- array(NA, dim=c(length(x), ndigits))
     for(q in 1:ndigits){
           base[, ndigits-q+1]<- (x %% 2)
           x<- (x %/% 2)
       }
     bin<- apply(base,1,paste,collapse="")
     return(bin)
}

Since it is still slow, I have to find a way to express this more
elegantly. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanking you, with best regards

Great Jim! Thanks a lot. New way of thinking, appreciated.
I also need 16 and 32 bit flags and hence I just added those two lines:

int2bin16<- function(val) {
    paste(int2bin(val%/%256),int2bin(val),sep="")
}

int2bin32<- function(val) {
paste(int2bin(val%/%256^3),int2bin(val%/%256^2),int2bin(val%/%256),int2bin(val),sep="")
}

Best,
