app :: (a -> b) -> a -> b infixl 1

Only useful since it is left associated with a precedence of 1, unlike $, which is right associative. e.g.

someFunction
    `appMatrixLen` m
    `appVectorLen` v
    `app` other
    `app` arguments
    `app` go here

One could also write:

(someFunction 
    `appMatrixLen` m
    `appVectorLen` v) 
    other 
    arguments 
    (go here)

appVector :: Storable a => (Ptr a -> b) -> Vector a -> b infixl 1

appVectorLen :: Storable a => (CInt -> Ptr a -> b) -> Vector a -> b

appMatrix :: Element a => (Ptr a -> b) -> Matrix a -> b infixl 1

appMatrixLen :: Element a => (CInt -> CInt -> Ptr a -> b) -> Matrix a -> b

appMatrixRaw :: Storable a => (Ptr a -> b) -> Matrix a -> b infixl 1

appMatrixRawLen :: Element a => (CInt -> CInt -> Ptr a -> b) -> Matrix a -> b

unsafeMatrixToVector :: Matrix a -> Vector a

This will disregard the order of the matrix, and simply return it as-is. If the order of the matrix is RowMajor, this function is identical to flatten.

unsafeMatrixToForeignPtr :: Storable a => Matrix a -> (ForeignPtr a, Int)
