val split_on_char : char -> string -> string list

split_on_char sep s is the list of all (possibly empty) substrings of s that are delimited by the character sep.

The function's result is specified by the following invariants:

The list is not empty.
Concatenating its elements using sep as a separator returns a string equal to the input (concat (make 1 sep) (split_on_char sep s) = s).
No string in the result contains the sep character.

Binary decoding of integers

The functions in this section binary decode integers from strings.

All following functions raise Invalid_argument if the characters needed at index i to decode the integer are not available.

Little-endian (resp. big-endian) encoding means that least (resp. most) significant bytes are stored first. Big-endian is also known as network byte order. Native-endian encoding is either little-endian or big-endian depending on Sys.big_endian.

32-bit and 64-bit integers are represented by the int32 and int64 types, which can be interpreted either as signed or unsigned numbers.

8-bit and 16-bit integers are represented by the int type, which has more bits than the binary encoding. These extra bits are sign-extended (or zero-extended) for functions which decode 8-bit or 16-bit integers and represented them with int values.

val split : char -> ?limit:int -> string -> string list

split delim ~limit str splits str into a list of strings. Splitting occurs on delim characters (which are removed from output) at most limit times. Remaining delim characters are included in the last element of the resulting list.

limit defaults to max_int.

This function obeys the invariant that for all limits, delims and strs: String.concat (String.init 1 (fun _ -> delim)) (split delim ~limit str) = str.

val split_no_empty : char -> ?limit:int -> string -> string list

Splits a string on a delimiter character. It strips delimiters at the beginning and at the end. It considers groups of delimiters as one. If limit is passed, stops after limit split(s). limit defaults to max_int. It's guaranteed to never produce empty strings in the output. Therefore, it's capable of producing an empty list as a result.

For example, split_no_empty ',' ",hello,,world," returns "hello"; "world"

val chunk_bytes : 
  ?error_on_partial_chunk:'a ->
  int ->
  bytes ->
  (string list, 'a) result

chunk_bytes n b chunks the sequence of bytes b into a list of strings, each of length n. The last chunk may be a non-empty string of length less than n, in which case the behaviour of the function depends on whether error_on_partial_chunk is set:

If error_on_partial_chunk is set, then the function returns Error error_on_partial_chunk,
Otherwise, the function return the list of chunks, where the last chunk is a non-empty string of length less than n.

raises Invalid_argument
if n <= 0.
