valuegroup :: ByteString -> [ByteString]
#

The group function takes a ByteString and returns a list of ByteStrings such that the concatenation of the result is equal to the argument. Moreover, each string in the result contains only equal elements. For example,

group "Mississippi" = ["M","i","ss","i","ss","i","pp","i"]

It is a special case of groupBy, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

datadata ByteString
#

A space-efficient representation of a Word8 vector, supporting many efficient operations.

A LazyByteString contains 8-bit bytes, or by using the operations from Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8 it can be interpreted as containing 8-bit characters.

valuefoldl :: (a -> Char -> a) -> a -> ByteString -> a
#

foldl, applied to a binary operator, a starting value (typically the left-identity of the operator), and a ByteString, reduces the ByteString using the binary operator, from left to right.

valuefoldr :: (Char -> a -> a) -> a -> ByteString -> a
#

foldr, applied to a binary operator, a starting value (typically the right-identity of the operator), and a packed string, reduces the packed string using the binary operator, from right to left.

valuefind :: (Char -> Bool) -> ByteString -> Maybe Char
#

O(n) The find function takes a predicate and a ByteString, and returns the first element in matching the predicate, or Nothing if there is no such element.

valuemapAccumL
  1. :: acc -> Char -> (acc, Char)
  2. -> acc
  3. -> ByteString
  4. -> (acc, ByteString)
#

The mapAccumL function behaves like a combination of map and foldl; it applies a function to each element of a ByteString, passing an accumulating parameter from left to right, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new ByteString.

valuemapAccumR
  1. :: acc -> Char -> (acc, Char)
  2. -> acc
  3. -> ByteString
  4. -> (acc, ByteString)
#

The mapAccumR function behaves like a combination of map and foldr; it applies a function to each element of a ByteString, passing an accumulating parameter from right to left, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new ByteString.

valuezip :: ByteString -> ByteString -> [(Char, Char)]
#

O(n) zip takes two ByteStrings and returns a list of corresponding pairs of Chars. If one input ByteString is short, excess elements of the longer ByteString are discarded. This is equivalent to a pair of unpack operations, and so space usage may be large for multi-megabyte ByteStrings

valuezipWith :: (Char -> Char -> a) -> ByteString -> ByteString -> [a]
#

zipWith generalises zip by zipping with the function given as the first argument, instead of a tupling function. For example, zipWith (+) is applied to two ByteStrings to produce the list of corresponding sums.

valuehead :: ByteString -> Char
#

O(1) Extract the first element of a ByteString, which must be non-empty.

valuehPut :: Handle -> ByteString -> IO ()
#

Outputs a ByteString to the specified Handle.

The chunks will be written one at a time. Other threads might write to the Handle in between, and hence hPut alone is not suitable for concurrent writes.

valuescanl :: (Char -> Char -> Char) -> Char -> ByteString -> ByteString
#

scanl is similar to foldl, but returns a list of successive reduced values from the left.

scanl f z [x1, x2, ...] == [z, z `f` x1, (z `f` x1) `f` x2, ...]

Note that

last (scanl f z xs) == foldl f z xs.
valueunfoldr :: (a -> Maybe (Char, a)) -> a -> ByteString
#

O(n) The unfoldr function is analogous to the List 'unfoldr'. unfoldr builds a ByteString from a seed value. The function takes the element and returns Nothing if it is done producing the ByteString or returns Just (a,b), in which case, a is a prepending to the ByteString and b is used as the next element in a recursive call.

valuecount :: Char -> ByteString -> Int64
#

count returns the number of times its argument appears in the ByteString

count      == length . elemIndices
count '\n' == length . lines

But more efficiently than using length on the intermediate list.

valuecopy :: ByteString -> ByteString
#

O(n) Make a copy of the ByteString with its own storage. This is mainly useful to allow the rest of the data pointed to by the ByteString to be garbage collected, for example if a large string has been read in, and only a small part of it is needed in the rest of the program.

valuedropEnd :: Int64 -> ByteString -> ByteString
#

O(n) dropEnd n xs is equivalent to take (length xs - n) xs. Drops n elements from end of bytestring.

Example3 expressions
dropEnd 3 "abcdefg""abcd"dropEnd 0 "abcdefg""abcdefg"dropEnd 4 "abc"""
valuelast :: ByteString -> Char
#

O(1) Extract the last element of a packed string, which must be non-empty.

valuelines :: ByteString -> [ByteString]
#

lines lazily splits a ByteString into a list of ByteStrings at newline Chars ('\n'). The resulting strings do not contain newlines. The first chunk of the result is only strict in the first chunk of the input.

Note that it does not regard CR ('\r') as a newline character.

valuescanr
  1. :: (Char -> Char -> Char)

    element -> accumulator -> new accumulator

  2. -> Char

    starting value of accumulator

  3. -> ByteString

    input of length n

  4. -> ByteString

    output of length n+1

#

scanr is similar to foldr, but returns a list of successive reduced values from the right.

scanr f z [..., x{n-1}, xn] == [..., x{n-1} `f` (xn `f` z), xn `f` z, z]

Note that

head (scanr f z xs) == foldr f z xs
last (scanr f z xs) == z
valuesplit :: Char -> ByteString -> [ByteString]
#

O(n) Break a ByteString into pieces separated by the byte argument, consuming the delimiter. I.e.

split '\n' "a\nb\nd\ne" == ["a","b","d","e"]
split 'a'  "aXaXaXa"    == ["","X","X","X"]
split 'x'  "x"          == ["",""]
split undefined ""      == []  -- and not [""]

and

intercalate [c] . split c == id
split == splitWith . (==)

As for all splitting functions in this library, this function does not copy the substrings, it just constructs new ByteStrings that are slices of the original.

valuetakeEnd :: Int64 -> ByteString -> ByteString
#

O(c) takeEnd n xs is equivalent to drop (length xs - n) xs. Takes n elements from end of bytestring.

Example3 expressions
takeEnd 3 "abcdefg""efg"takeEnd 0 "abcdefg"""takeEnd 4 "abc""abc"
valuewords :: ByteString -> [ByteString]
#

words breaks a ByteString up into a list of words, which were delimited by Chars representing white space. And

tokens isSpace = words
valuesplitWith :: (Char -> Bool) -> ByteString -> [ByteString]
#

O(n) Splits a ByteString into components delimited by separators, where the predicate returns True for a separator element. The resulting components do not contain the separators. Two adjacent separators result in an empty component in the output. eg.

splitWith (=='a') "aabbaca" == ["","","bb","c",""]
splitWith undefined ""      == []  -- and not [""]

O(n) The elemIndexEnd function returns the last index of the element in the given ByteString which is equal to the query element, or Nothing if there is no such element. The following holds:

elemIndexEnd c xs = case elemIndex c (reverse xs) of
  Nothing -> Nothing
  Just i  -> Just (length xs - 1 - i)

Read entire handle contents lazily into a ByteString. Chunks are read on demand, using the default chunk size.

File handles are closed on EOF if all the file is read, or through garbage collection otherwise.

hGetNonBlocking is similar to hGet, except that it will never block waiting for data to become available, instead it returns only whatever data is available. If there is no data available to be read, hGetNonBlocking returns empty.

Note: on Windows and with Haskell implementation other than GHC, this function does not work correctly; it behaves identically to hGet.

Similar to hPut except that it will never block. Instead it returns any tail that did not get written. This tail may be empty in the case that the whole string was written, or the whole original string if nothing was written. Partial writes are also possible.

Note: on Windows and with Haskell implementation other than GHC, this function does not work correctly; it behaves identically to hPut.

valueinteract :: (ByteString -> ByteString) -> IO ()
#

The interact function takes a function of type ByteString -> ByteString as its argument. The entire input from the standard input device is passed to this function as its argument, and the resulting string is output on the standard output device.

valueputStr :: ByteString -> IO ()
#

Write a ByteString to stdout.

The chunks will be written one at a time. Other threads might write to the stdout in between, and hence putStr alone is not suitable for concurrent writes.

Try to read a signed Int value from the ByteString, returning Just (val, str) on success, where val is the value read and str is the rest of the input string. If the sequence of digits decodes to a value larger than can be represented by an Int, the returned value will be Nothing.

readInt does not ignore leading whitespace, the value must start immediately at the beginning of the input string.

Examples
Example5 expressions
readInt "-1729 sum of cubes"Just (-1729," sum of cubes")readInt "+1: readInt also accepts a leading '+'"Just (1, ": readInt also accepts a leading '+'")readInt "not a decimal number"NothingreadInt "12345678901234567890 overflows maxBound"NothingreadInt "-12345678901234567890 underflows minBound"Nothing

Try to read a Word value from the ByteString, returning Just (val, str) on success, where val is the value read and str is the rest of the input string. If the sequence of digits decodes to a value larger than can be represented by a Word, the returned value will be Nothing.

readWord does not ignore leading whitespace, the value must start with a decimal digit immediately at the beginning of the input string. Leading + signs are not accepted.

Examples
Example4 expressions
readWord "1729 sum of cubes"Just (1729," sum of cubes")readWord "+1729 has an explicit sign"NothingreadWord "not a decimal number"NothingreadWord "98765432109876543210 overflows maxBound"Nothing

readInteger reads an Integer from the beginning of the ByteString. If there is no Integer at the beginning of the string, it returns Nothing, otherwise it just returns the Integer read, and the rest of the string.

readInteger does not ignore leading whitespace, the value must start immediately at the beginning of the input string.

Examples
Example3 expressions
readInteger "-000111222333444555666777888999 all done"Just (-111222333444555666777888999," all done")readInteger "+1: readInteger also accepts a leading '+'"Just (1, ": readInteger also accepts a leading '+'")readInteger "not a decimal number"Nothing

readNatural reads a Natural number from the beginning of the ByteString. If there is no Natural number at the beginning of the string, it returns Nothing, otherwise it just returns the number read, and the rest of the string.

readNatural does not ignore leading whitespace, the value must start with a decimal digit immediately at the beginning of the input string. Leading + signs are not accepted.

Examples
Example3 expressions
readNatural "000111222333444555666777888999 all done"Just (111222333444555666777888999," all done")readNatural "+000111222333444555666777888999 explicit sign"NothingreadNatural "not a decimal number"Nothing
valuehPutStrLn :: Handle -> ByteString -> IO ()
#

Write a ByteString to a handle, appending a newline byte.

The chunks will be written one at a time, followed by a newline. Other threads might write to the Handle in between, and hence hPutStrLn alone is not suitable for concurrent writes.

valueputStrLn :: ByteString -> IO ()
#

Write a ByteString to stdout, appending a newline byte.

The chunks will be written one at a time, followed by a newline. Other threads might write to the stdout in between, and hence putStrLn alone is not suitable for concurrent writes.

valuecons' :: Char -> ByteString -> ByteString
#

O(1) Unlike cons, cons' is strict in the ByteString that we are consing onto. More precisely, it forces the head and the first chunk. It does this because, for space efficiency, it may coalesce the new byte onto the first 'chunk' rather than starting a new 'chunk'.

So that means you can't use a lazy recursive contruction like this:

let xs = cons' c xs in xs

You can however use cons, as well as repeat and cycle, to build infinite lazy ByteStrings.
