Byte sequence operations.

Since 4.02.0

val length : bytes -> int

Return the length (number of bytes) of the argument.

val get : bytes -> int -> char

get s n returns the byte at index n in argument s .

Raise Invalid_argument if n is not a valid index in s .

val set : bytes -> int -> char -> unit

set s n c modifies s in place, replacing the byte at index n with c .

Raise Invalid_argument if n is not a valid index in s .

val create : int -> bytes

create n returns a new byte sequence of length n . The sequence is uninitialized and contains arbitrary bytes.

Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length .

val make : int -> char -> bytes

make n c returns a new byte sequence of length n , filled with the byte c .

Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length .

val init : int -> f:(int -> char) -> bytes

init n f returns a fresh byte sequence of length n , with character i initialized to the result of f i .

Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length .

val empty : bytes

A byte sequence of size 0.

val copy : bytes -> bytes

Return a new byte sequence that contains the same bytes as the argument.

val of_string : string -> bytes

Return a new byte sequence that contains the same bytes as the given string.

val to_string : bytes -> string

Return a new string that contains the same bytes as the given byte sequence.

val sub : bytes -> pos:int -> len:int -> bytes

sub s start len returns a new byte sequence of length len , containing the subsequence of s that starts at position start and has length len .

Raise Invalid_argument if start and len do not designate a valid range of s .

val sub_string : bytes -> pos:int -> len:int -> string

Same as sub but return a string instead of a byte sequence.

val extend : bytes -> left:int -> right:int -> bytes

extend s left right returns a new byte sequence that contains the bytes of s , with left uninitialized bytes prepended and right uninitialized bytes appended to it. If left or right is negative, then bytes are removed (instead of appended) from the corresponding side of s .

Raise Invalid_argument if the result length is negative or longer than Sys.max_string_length bytes.

Since 4.05.0

val fill : bytes -> pos:int -> len:int -> char -> unit

fill s start len c modifies s in place, replacing len characters with c , starting at start .

Raise Invalid_argument if start and len do not designate a valid range of s .

val blit : src:bytes -> src_pos:int -> dst:bytes -> dst_pos:int -> len:int -> unit

blit src srcoff dst dstoff len copies len bytes from sequence src , starting at index srcoff , to sequence dst , starting at index dstoff . It works correctly even if src and dst are the same byte sequence, and the source and destination intervals overlap.

Raise Invalid_argument if srcoff and len do not designate a valid range of src , or if dstoff and len do not designate a valid range of dst .

val blit_string : src:string -> src_pos:int -> dst:bytes -> dst_pos:int -> len:int -> unit

blit src srcoff dst dstoff len copies len bytes from string src , starting at index srcoff , to byte sequence dst , starting at index dstoff .

Raise Invalid_argument if srcoff and len do not designate a valid range of src , or if dstoff and len do not designate a valid range of dst .

Since 4.05.0

concat sep sl concatenates the list of byte sequences sl , inserting the separator byte sequence sep between each, and returns the result as a new byte sequence.

Raise Invalid_argument if the result is longer than Sys.max_string_length bytes.

Since 4.05.0

val iteri : f:(int -> char -> unit) -> bytes -> unit

Same as Bytes.iter , but the function is applied to the index of the byte as first argument and the byte itself as second argument.

val map : f:(char -> char) -> bytes -> bytes

map f s applies function f in turn to all the bytes of s and stores the resulting bytes in a new sequence that is returned as the result.

mapi f s calls f with each character of s and its index (in increasing index order) and stores the resulting bytes in a new sequence that is returned as the result.

val trim : bytes -> bytes

Return a copy of the argument, without leading and trailing whitespace. The bytes regarded as whitespace are the ASCII characters ' ' , '\012' , '\n' , '\r' , and '\t' .

val index_from_opt : bytes -> int -> char -> int option

index_from _opts i c returns the index of the first occurrence of byte c in s after position i or None if c does not occur in s after position i . Bytes.index_opt s c is equivalent to Bytes.index_from_opt s 0 c .

Since 4.05

val rindex_from : bytes -> int -> char -> int

val rindex_from_opt : bytes -> int -> char -> int option

rindex_from_opt s i c returns the index of the last occurrence of byte c in s before position i+1 or None if c does not occur in s before position i+1 . rindex_opt s c is equivalent to rindex_from s (Bytes.length s - 1) c .

Since 4.05

  Binary encoding/decoding of integers

The functions in this section binary encode and decode integers to and from byte sequences.

All following functions raise Invalid_argument if the space needed at index i to decode or encode the integer is not available.

Little-endian (resp. big-endian) encoding means that least (resp. most) significant bytes are stored first. Big-endian is also known as network byte order. Native-endian encoding is either little-endian or big-endian depending on Sys.big_endian .

32-bit and 64-bit integers are represented by the int32 and int64 types, which can be interpreted either as signed or unsigned numbers.

8-bit and 16-bit integers are represented by the int type, which has more bits than the binary encoding. These extra bits are handled as follows:

-Functions that decode signed (resp. unsigned) 8-bit or 16-bit integers represented by int values sign-extend (resp. zero-extend) their result.

-Functions that encode 8-bit or 16-bit integers represented by int values truncate their input to their least significant bytes.
