System.OsString.Data.ByteString.Short

O(n) Applied to a predicate and a ShortByteString, all determines if all elements of the ShortByteString satisfy the predicate.

O(n) Applied to a predicate and a ShortByteString, any determines if any element of the ShortByteString satisfies the predicate.

O(n) replicate n x is a ShortByteString of length n with x the value of every element. The following holds:

replicate w c = unfoldr w (\u -> Just (u,u)) c

O(n), where n is the length of the result. The unfoldr function is analogous to the List 'unfoldr'. unfoldr builds a ShortByteString from a seed value. The function takes the element and returns Nothing if it is done producing the ShortByteString or returns Just (a,b), in which case, a is the next byte in the string, and b is the seed value for further production.

This function is not efficient/safe. It will build a list of [Word8] and run the generator until it returns Nothing, otherwise recurse infinitely, then finally create a ShortByteString.

If you know the maximum length, consider using unfoldrN.

Examples:

   unfoldr (\x -> if x <= 5 then Just (x, x + 1) else Nothing) 0
== pack [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

O(n) Like unfoldr, unfoldrN builds a ShortByteString from a seed value. However, the length of the result is limited by the first argument to unfoldrN. This function is more efficient than unfoldr when the maximum length of the result is known.

The following equation relates unfoldrN and unfoldr:

fst (unfoldrN n f s) == take n (unfoldr f s)

O(n) take n, applied to a ShortByteString xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n > length xs.

Note: copies the entire byte array

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

>>> takeEnd 3 "abcdefg""efg">>> takeEnd 0 "abcdefg""">>> takeEnd 4 "abc""abc"

Returns the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements satisfying the predicate.

takeWhileEnd p is equivalent to reverse . takeWhile p . reverse.

Similar to Prelude.takeWhile, returns the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements satisfying the predicate.

O(n) drop n xs returns the suffix of xs after the first n elements, or empty if n > length xs.

Note: copies the entire byte array

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

>>> dropEnd 3 "abcdefg""abcd">>> dropEnd 0 "abcdefg""abcdefg">>> dropEnd 4 "abc"""

Similar to Prelude.dropWhile, drops the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements satisfying the predicate and returns the remainder.

Note: copies the entire byte array

Similar to dropWhileEnd, drops the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements satisfying the predicate and returns the remainder.

dropWhileEnd p is equivalent to reverse . dropWhile p . reverse.

Returns the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements which do not satisfy the predicate and the remainder of the string.

breakEnd p is equivalent to spanEnd (not . p) and to (takeWhileEnd (not . p) &&& dropWhileEnd (not . p)).

Similar to break, returns the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements which do not satisfy the predicate and the remainder of the string.

break p is equivalent to span (not . p) and to (takeWhile (not . p) &&& dropWhile (not . p)).

Similar to span, returns the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements satisfying the predicate and the remainder of the string.

span p is equivalent to break (not . p) and to (takeWhile p &&& dropWhile p).

Returns the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements satisfying the predicate and the remainder of the string.

spanEnd p is equivalent to breakEnd (not . p) and to (takeWhileEnd p &&& dropWhileEnd p).

We have

spanEnd (not . isSpace) "x y z" == ("x y ", "z")

and

spanEnd (not . isSpace) sbs
   ==
let (x, y) = span (not . isSpace) (reverse sbs) in (reverse y, reverse x)

O(n) splitAt n sbs is equivalent to (take n sbs, drop n sbs).

Note: copies the substrings

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

split 10  "a\nb\nd\ne" == ["a","b","d","e"]   -- fromEnum '\n' == 10
split 97  "aXaXaXa"    == ["","X","X","X",""] -- fromEnum 'a' == 97
split 120 "x"          == ["",""]             -- fromEnum 'x' == 120
split undefined ""     == []                  -- and not [""]

and

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

Note: copies the substrings

O(n) Splits a ShortByteString 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 (==97) "aabbaca" == ["","","bb","c",""] -- fromEnum 'a' == 97
splitWith undefined ""     == []                  -- and not [""]

O(n) The stripSuffix function takes two ShortByteStrings and returns Just the remainder of the second iff the first is its suffix, and otherwise Nothing.

O(n) The stripPrefix function takes two ShortByteStrings and returns Just the remainder of the second iff the first is its prefix, and otherwise Nothing.

Break a string on a substring, returning a pair of the part of the string prior to the match, and the rest of the string.

The following relationships hold:

break (== c) l == breakSubstring (singleton c) l

For example, to tokenise a string, dropping delimiters:

tokenise x y = h : if null t then [] else tokenise x (drop (length x) t)
    where (h,t) = breakSubstring x y

To skip to the first occurrence of a string:

snd (breakSubstring x y)

To take the parts of a string before a delimiter:

fst (breakSubstring x y)

Note that calling `breakSubstring x` does some preprocessing work, so you should avoid unnecessarily duplicating breakSubstring calls with the same pattern.

O(n) elem is the ShortByteString membership predicate.

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

find f p = case findIndex f p of Just n -> Just (p ! n) ; _ -> Nothing

O(n) filter, applied to a predicate and a ShortByteString, returns a ShortByteString containing those characters that satisfy the predicate.

O(n) The partition function takes a predicate a ShortByteString and returns the pair of ShortByteStrings with elements which do and do not satisfy the predicate, respectively; i.e.,

partition p bs == (filter p sbs, filter (not . p) sbs)

O(n). Construct a new ShortByteString from a CString. The resulting ShortByteString is an immutable copy of the original CString, and is managed on the Haskell heap. The original CString must be null terminated.

O(n). Construct a new ShortByteString from a CStringLen. The resulting ShortByteString is an immutable copy of the original CStringLen. The ShortByteString is a normal Haskell value and will be managed on the Haskell heap.

O(n) construction. Use a ShortByteString with a function requiring a null-terminated CString. The CString is a copy and will be freed automatically; it must not be stored or used after the subcomputation finishes.

O(n) construction. Use a ShortByteString with a function requiring a CStringLen. As for useAsCString this function makes a copy of the original ShortByteString. It must not be stored or used after the subcomputation finishes.

Beware that this function does not add a terminating NUL byte at the end of CStringLen. If you need to construct a pointer to a null-terminated sequence, use useAsCString (and measure length independently if desired).
