Extension of the standard bytes module.
We enhanced OCaml standard Bytes module with the expected set of functions. Bytes are not Regular, as Regular interface itself refers to bytes. However it includes a pretty big subset of regular (excluding Data module, but bytes indeed do not need any specific support for the serialization).
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.
init n ~f returns a fresh byte sequence of length n, with character i initialized to the result of f i (in increasing index order). Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length.
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.
fill s start len c modifies s in place, replacing len characters with c, starting at start. Raise Invalid_argument if start and len do not designate a valid range of s.
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. Raise Invalid_argument if the result is longer than Sys.max_string_length 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.
map s ~f applies function f in turn to all the bytes of s (in increasing index order) and stores the resulting bytes in a new sequence that is returned as the result.
mapi s ~f 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.
trim t returns a copy of t, without leading and trailing whitespace. The bytes regarded as whitespace are the ASCII characters ' ', '\012', '\n', '\r', and '\t'.
escaped t returns a copy of t, with special characters represented by escape sequences, following the lexical conventions of OCaml. Raise Invalid_argument if the result is longer than Sys.max_string_length bytes.
index_from s i c returns the index of the first occurrence of byte c in s after position i. index s c is equivalent to index_from s 0 c. Raise Invalid_argument if i is not a valid position in s. Raise Not_found if c does not occur in s after position i.
rindex_from s i c returns the index of the last occurrence of byte c in s before position i+1. rindex s c is equivalent to rindex_from s (length s - 1) c. Raise Invalid_argument if i+1 is not a valid position in s. Raise Not_found if c does not occur in s before position i+1.
contains_from s start c tests if byte c appears in s after position start. contains s c is equivalent to contains_from
s 0 c. Raise Invalid_argument if start is not a valid position in s.
rcontains_from s stop c tests if byte c appears in s before position stop+1. Raise Invalid_argument if stop < 0 or stop+1 is not a valid position in s.
uppercase t returns a copy of t, with all lowercase letters translated to uppercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set.
lowercase t returns a copy of t, with all uppercase letters translated to lowercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set.
