## Bytes.concat(b1: bytes, b2: bytes) : bytes
|
|
|
|
Concatenate together two `bytes` arguments and return the result.

begin skip end with bytes_concat(s , 0x7070)

## Bytes.slice(pos1: nat, pos2: nat, data: bytes) : bytes
|
|
|
|
Extract the bytes between `pos1` and `pos2`. **Positions are zero indexed and
|
|
inclusive**. For example if you gave the input "ff7a7aff" to the following:

begin skip end with bytes_slice(1n , 2n , s)

```

```cameligo

let slice_op (s : bytes) : bytes =
|
|
Bytes.slice 1n 2n s

let slice_op = (s: bytes): bytes => Bytes.slice(1n, 2n, s);

It would return "7a7a" rather than "ff7a" or "ff" or "7a".

## Bytes.pack(data: a') : bytes
|
|
|
|
Converts Michelson data structures to a binary format for serialization.

> ⚠️ `PACK` and `UNPACK` are features of Michelson that are intended to be used by people that really know what they're doing. There are several failure cases (such as `UNPACK`ing a lambda from an untrusted source), most of which are beyond the scope of this document. Don't use these functions without doing your homework first.

## Bytes.unpack(packed: bytes) : a'
|
|
|
|
Reverses the result of using `unpack` on data, going from Michelson's binary
|
|
serialization format to the `option` type annotated on the call.
