Byte sequence operations.
external length : bytes -> int = "%bytes_length"
Return the length (number of bytes) of the argument.
external get : bytes -> int -> char = "%bytes_safe_get"
get s n
returns the byte at index n
in argument s
.
Raise Invalid_argument
if n
is not a valid index in s
.
external set : bytes -> int -> char -> unit = "%bytes_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_bytes"
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 init : int -> f:(int -> char) -> bytes
init n f
returns a fresh byte sequence of length n
,
with character i
initialized to the result of f i
.
Raise Invalid_argument
if n < 0
or n >
Sys.max_string_length.
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 -> pos:int -> len: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 extend : bytes -> left:int -> right:int -> bytes
extend s left right
returns a new byte sequence that contains
the bytes of s
, with left
uninitialized bytes prepended and
right
uninitialized bytes appended to it. If left
or right
is negative, then bytes are removed (instead of appended) from
the corresponding side of s
.
Raise Invalid_argument
if the result length is negative or
longer than Sys.max_string_length bytes.
val fill : bytes -> pos:int -> len:int -> char -> unit

modifies s
in place, replacing len
characters with c
, starting at start

if start
and len
do not designate a
valid range of s
.

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 blit_string : src:string -> src_pos:int -> dst:bytes -> dst_pos:int -> len:int -> unit
blit src srcoff dst dstoff len
copies len
bytes from string
src
, starting at index srcoff
, to byte sequence dst
,
starting at index dstoff
.
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 : sep: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 cat : bytes -> bytes -> bytes
cat s1 s2
concatenates s1
and s2
and returns the result
as new byte sequence.
Raise Invalid_argument
if the result is longer than
Sys.max_string_length bytes.
val iter : f:(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 : f:(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 : f:(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 mapi : f:(int -> char -> char) -> bytes -> bytes
mapi f s
calls f
with each character of s
and its
index (in increasing index order) 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.

specification as Pervasives.compare. Along with the type t
,
this function compare

to be passed as
argument to the functors Set.Make and Map.Make.
