A byte sequence is a mutable data structure that contains a fixed-length sequence of bytes. Each byte can be indexed in constant time for reading or writing. Given a byte sequence [s] of length [l], we can access each of the [l] bytes of [s] via its index in the sequence. Indexes start at [0], and we will call an index valid in [s] if it falls within the range [[0...l-1]] (inclusive). A position is the point between two bytes or at the beginning or end of the sequence. We call a position valid in [s] if it falls within the range [[0...l]] (inclusive). Note that the byte at index [n] is between positions [n] and [n+1]. Two parameters [start] and [len] are said to designate a valid range of [s] if [len >= 0] and [start] and [start+len] are valid positions in [s]. Byte sequences can be modified in place, for instance via the [set] and [blit] functions described below. See also strings (module {!String}), which are almost the same data structure, but cannot be modified in place. Bytes are represented by the OCaml type [char]. @since 4.02.0 *) external length : bytes -> int = "%string_length" (** Return the length (number of bytes) of the argument. *) external get : bytes -> int -> char = "%string_safe_get" (** [get s n] returns the byte at index [n] in argument [s]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [n] not a valid index in [s]. *) external set : bytes -> int -> char -> unit = "%string_safe_set" (** [set s n c] modifies [s] in place, replacing the byte at index [n] with [c]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [n] is not a valid index in [s]. *) external create : int -> bytes = "caml_create_string" (** [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}. *) val make : int -> char -> bytes (** [make n c] returns a new byte sequence of length [n], filled with the byte [c]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [n < 0] or [n > ]{!Sys.max_string_length}. *) val init : int -> (int -> char) -> bytes (** [Bytes.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 [start] and [len] do not designate a valid range of [s]. *) val sub_string : bytes -> int -> int -> string (** Same as [sub] but return a string instead of a byte sequence. *) val extend : bytes -> int -> int -> bytes (** [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. *) val fill : bytes -> int -> int -> char -> unit (** [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]. *) val blit : bytes -> int -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit (** [blit src srcoff dst dstoff len] copies [len] bytes from sequence [src], starting at index [srcoff], to sequence [dst], starting at index [dstoff]. It works correctly even if [src] and [dst] are the same byte sequence, and the source and destination intervals overlap. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [srcoff] and [len] do not designate a valid range of [src], or if [dstoff] and [len] do not designate a valid range of [dst]. *) val blit_string : string -> int -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit (** [blit src srcoff dst dstoff len] copies [len] bytes from string [src], starting at index [srcoff], to byte sequence [dst], starting at index [dstoff]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [srcoff] and [len] do not designate a valid range of [src], or if [dstoff] and [len] do not designate a valid range of [dst]. *) val concat : bytes -> bytes list -> bytes (** [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. *) val cat : bytes -> bytes -> 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. *) val iter : (char -> unit) -> bytes -> unit (** [iter f s] applies function [f] in turn to all the bytes of [s]. It is equivalent to [f (get s 0); f (get s 1); ...; f (get s (length s - 1)); ()]. *) val iteri : (int -> char -> unit) -> bytes -> unit (** Same as {!Bytes.iter}, but the function is applied to the index of the byte as first argument and the byte itself as second argument. *) val map : (char -> char) -> bytes -> bytes (** [map f s] 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. *) val mapi : (int -> char -> char) -> bytes -> bytes (** [mapi f s] 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. *) val trim : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, without leading and trailing whitespace. The bytes regarded as whitespace are the ASCII characters [' '], ['\012'], ['\n'], ['\r'], and ['\t']. *) val escaped : bytes -> bytes (** Return a copy of the argument, with special characters represented by escape sequences, following the lexical conventions of OCaml. All characters outside the ASCII printable range (32..126) are escaped, as well as backslash and double-quote. Raise [Invalid_argument] if the result is longer than {!Sys.max_string_length} bytes. *) val index : bytes -> char -> int (** [index s c] returns the index of the first occurrence of byte [c] in [s].

[Bytes.index s c] is equivalent to [Bytes.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]. *) val rindex_from : bytes -> int -> char -> int (** [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 (Bytes.length s - 1) c]. Raise [Invalid_argument] if [i+1] is not a valid position in [s].
