Synopsis

Documentation

tablespoon :: a -> Either String aSource

Hack to catch pureish asynchronous errors

This is only used as a workaround to the binary library's shortcoming of using asynchronous errors instead of pure error handling, and also zlib's same shortcoming.

This function is similar to the spoon package's teaspoon function, except that it can return more information when an exception is caught.

subStr :: StringCells s => Int -> Int -> s -> sSource

Return a substring

subStr index length returns length characters from the string starting at index, which starts at 0.

 subStr 1 2 "abcd" == "bc"
