Description

Word8 library to be used with Data.ByteString. All function assumes that Word8 is encoded in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). All utility functions are supposed to work as if those of Char. Exceptions are described in the function documentations.

Base library 4.7 (GHC 7.8) or earlier is based on Unicode 6. Base library 4.8 (GHC 7.10) or later is based on Unicode 7. isLower, isSymbol and isPunctuation behave differently.
