Description

Some useful utility functions and combinators.

Synopsis

length :: ByteString -> BYTES Int Source #

A typesafe length for Bytestring

replicate :: LengthUnit l => l -> Word8 -> ByteString Source #

A type safe version of replicate

fromByteStringStorable :: Storable k => ByteString -> k Source #

Get the value from the bytestring using peek.

create :: LengthUnit l => l -> (Pointer -> IO ()) -> IO ByteString Source #

The action create l act creates a length l bytestring where the contents are filled using the the act to fill the buffer.

createFrom :: LengthUnit l => l -> Pointer -> IO ByteString Source #

The IO action createFrom n cptr creates a bytestring by copying n bytes from the pointer cptr.

withByteString :: ByteString -> (Pointer -> IO a) -> IO a Source #

Works directly on the pointer associated with the ByteString. This function should only read and not modify the contents of the pointer.

unsafeCopyToPointer Source #

Arguments

:: ByteString

The source.

-> Pointer

The destination.

-> IO () 

Copy the bytestring to the crypto buffer. This operation leads to undefined behaviour if the crypto pointer points to an area smaller than the size of the byte string.

unsafeNCopyToPointer Source #

Arguments

:: LengthUnit n 
=> n

length of data to be copied

-> ByteString

The source byte string

-> Pointer

The buffer

-> IO () 

Similar to unsafeCopyToPointer but takes an additional input n which is the number of bytes (expressed in type safe length units) to transfer. This operation leads to undefined behaviour if either the bytestring is shorter than n or the crypto pointer points to an area smaller than n.
