A byte sequence is a mutable data structure that contains a fixed-length sequence of bytes. Each byte can be indexed in constant time for reading or writing. Given a byte sequence [s] of length [l], we can access each of the [l] bytes of [s] via its index in the sequence. Indexes start at [0], and we will call an index valid in [s] if it falls within the range [[0...l-1]] (inclusive). A position is the point between two bytes or at the beginning or end of the sequence. We call a position valid in [s] if it falls within the range [[0...l]] (inclusive). Note that the byte at index [n] is between positions [n] and [n+1]. Two parameters [start] and [len] are said to designate a valid range of [s] if [len >= 0] and [start] and [start+len] are valid positions in [s]. Byte sequences can be modified in place, for instance via the [set] and [blit] functions described below. See also strings (module {!String}), which are almost the same data structure, but cannot be modified in place. Bytes are represented by the OCaml type [char]. @since 4.02.0 *) external length : bytes -> int = "%string_length" (** Return the length (number of bytes) of the argument. *) external get : bytes -> int -> char = "%string_safe_get" (** [get s n] returns the byte at index [n] in argument [s]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [n] not a valid index in [s]. *) external set : bytes -> int -> char -> unit = "%string_safe_set" (** [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]. *) external create : int -> bytes = "caml_create_string" (** [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 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 -> int -> 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 -> int -> int -> string (** Same as [sub] but return a string instead of a byte sequence. *) val fill : bytes -> int -> 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 : bytes -> int -> bytes -> int -> 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 concat : bytes -> bytes list -> bytes (** [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. *) val iter : (char -> unit) -> bytes -> unit (** [iter f s] applies function [f] in turn to all the bytes of [s]. It is equivalent to [f (get s 0); f (get s 1); ...; f (get s (length s - 1)); ()]. *) val iteri : (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 : (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. *) 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 escaped : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, with special characters represented by escape sequences, following the lexical conventions of OCaml. *) val index : bytes -> char -> int (** [index s c] returns the index of the first occurrence of byte [c] in [s]. Raise [Not_found] if [c] does not occur in [s]. *) val rindex : bytes -> char -> int (** [rindex s c] returns the index of the last occurrence of byte [c] in [s]. Raise [Not_found] if [c] does not occur in [s]. *) val index_from : bytes -> int -> char -> int (** [index_from s i c] returns the index of the first occurrence of byte [c] in [s] after position [i]. [Bytes.index s c] is equivalent to [Bytes.index_from s 0 c]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [i] is not a valid position in [s]. Raise [Not_found] if [c] does not occur in [s] after position [i]. *) val rindex_from : bytes -> int -> char -> int (** [rindex_from s i c] returns the index of the last occurrence of byte [c] in [s] before position [i+1]. [rindex s c] is equivalent to [rindex_from s (Bytes.length s - 1) c]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [i+1] is not a valid position in [s]. Raise [Not_found] if [c] does not occur in [s] before position [i+1]. *) val contains : bytes -> char -> bool (** [contains s c] tests if byte [c] appears in [s]. *) val contains_from : bytes -> int -> char -> bool (** [contains_from s start c] tests if byte [c] appears in [s] after position [start]. [contains s c] is equivalent to [contains_from s 0 c]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [start] is not a valid position in [s]. *) val rcontains_from : bytes -> int -> char -> bool (** [rcontains_from s stop c] tests if byte [c] appears in [s] before position [stop+1]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [stop < 0] or [stop+1] is not a valid position in [s]. *) val uppercase : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, with all lowercase letters translated to uppercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set. *) val lowercase : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, with all uppercase letters translated to lowercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set. *) val capitalize : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, with the first byte set to uppercase. *) val uncapitalize : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, with the first byte set to lowercase. *) type t = bytes (** An alias for the type of byte sequences. *) val compare: t -> t -> int (** The comparison function for byte sequences, with the same specification as {!Pervasives.compare}. Along with the type [t], this function [compare] allows the module [Bytes] to be passed as argument to the functors {!Set.Make} and {!Map.Make}. *) (**/**) (* The following is for system use only.
