toByteString

Encode a UUID into a ByteString in network order. This uses the same encoding as the Binary instance.

Run the builder to construct a strict bytestring containing the sequence of bytes denoted by the builder. This is done by first serializing to a lazy bytestring and then packing its chunks to a appropriately sized strict bytestring.

toByteString = packChunks . toLazyByteString

Note that toByteString is a Monoid homomorphism.

toByteString mempty          == mempty
toByteString (x `mappend` y) == toByteString x `mappend` toByteString y

However, in the second equation, the left-hand-side is generally faster to execute.

Converts to UTF-8 encoded ByteString

transform a list of ASN1 Events into a strict bytestring

O(n) when unpinned, O(1) when pinned. Create a ByteString from a byte sequence. This only copies the byte sequence if it is not pinned.

O(1). Unpack a ByteString from an array.

Wrap a Buffer into a ByteString using the given offset and length.

Converts an email address back to a ByteString

Convert a MIDI file to a lazy ByteString.

O(n) - Convert any source array into a strict ByteString. In case when the source array is actually storable, no memory copy will occur.

Note that this may require a copy.

Copy the area from start to the current pointer to ByteString.

O(n). Converts the builder into a strict bytestring.

Copy to a ByteString. The most significant bits of the last byte are padded with 0 unless the array was a multiple of 8 bits in size.

A shorthand for buildByteString . put.

Unwrap name to bytestring

Convert sequence characters to byte string.
