Description

A AsciiString type backed by a ASCII encoded byte array and all the necessary functions to manipulate the string.

Synopsis

Documentation

newtype MutableAsciiString st #

Constructors

MutableAsciiString (MUArray Char7 st) 

Binary conversion

fromBytesUnsafe :: UArray Word8 -> AsciiString #

Convert a Byte Array representing ASCII data directly to an AsciiString without checking for ASCII validity

If the input contains invalid Char7 value (anything above 0x7f), it will trigger runtime async errors when processing data.

In doubt, use fromBytes

fromBytes :: UArray Word8 -> Maybe AsciiString #

Convert a Byte Array representing ASCII checking validity.

If the byte array is not valid, then Nothing is returned
