Documentation
getBytes :: (Integral a, Bounded a, Bits a) => a -> [a]

Returns a list representing the bytes that comprise a data type.

Example: 

 getBytes (0x12345678::Int) -> [0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78]
fromBytes :: Bits a => [a] -> a

The opposite of getBytes, this function builds a number based on its component bytes.

Results are undefined if any components of the input list are > 0xff!

c2w8 :: Char -> Word8
Converts a Char to a Word8.
s2w8 :: String -> [Word8]
Converts a String to a [Word8].
w82c :: Word8 -> Char
Converts a Word8 to a Char.
w82s :: [Word8] -> String
Converts a [Word8] to a String.
