indispensable tools for ByteString handling :).

ByteString handling.

alignRightWith :: Char -> Int -> ByteString -> ByteString

For a given width, align string to the right; use given fill character; trim on the left if string is longer.

alignRight :: Int -> ByteString -> ByteString

For a given width, align string to the right; trim on the left if string is longer.

alignLeftWith :: Char -> Int -> ByteString -> ByteString

For a given width, align string to the left; use given fill character; trim on the right if string is longer.

alignLeft :: Int -> ByteString -> ByteString

For a given width, align string to the left; trim on the right if string is longer.

summarizeByteString :: Int -> ByteString -> ByteString

If a string is longer than a given value, trim it and add some dots.

c2w :: Char -> Word8

Unsafe conversion between Char and Word8. This is a no-op and silently truncates to 8 bits Chars > '\255'. It is provided as convenience for ByteString construction.

w2c :: Word8 -> Char

Conversion between Word8 and Char. Should compile to a no-op.

bsShow :: Show a => a -> ByteString

Conversion to ByteString.
