foldl, applied to a binary operator, a starting value (typically the left-identity of the operator), and a ShortByteString, reduces the ShortByteString using the binary operator, from left to right.

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) Applied to a predicate and a ShortByteString, all determines if all elements of the ShortByteString satisfy the predicate.

O(n) replicate n x is a ShortByteString of length n with x the value of every element. The following holds:

replicate w c = unfoldr w (\u -> Just (u,u)) c

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n), where n is the length of the result. The unfoldr function is analogous to the List 'unfoldr'. unfoldr builds a ShortByteString from a seed value. The function takes the element and returns Nothing if it is done producing the ShortByteString or returns Just (a,b), in which case, a is the next byte in the string, and b is the seed value for further production.

This function is not efficient/safe. It will build a list of [Word8] and run the generator until it returns Nothing, otherwise recurse infinitely, then finally create a ShortByteString.

If you know the maximum length, consider using unfoldrN.

Examples:

   unfoldr (\x -> if x <= 5 then Just (x, x + 1) else Nothing) 0
== pack [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) Like unfoldr, unfoldrN builds a ShortByteString from a seed value. However, the length of the result is limited by the first argument to unfoldrN. This function is more efficient than unfoldr when the maximum length of the result is known.

The following equation relates unfoldrN and unfoldr:

fst (unfoldrN n f s) == take n (unfoldr f s)

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) takeEnd n xs is equivalent to drop (length xs - n) xs. Takes n elements from end of bytestring.

"abc"

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

Returns the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements satisfying the predicate.

O(n) dropEnd n xs is equivalent to take (length xs - n) xs. Drops n elements from end of bytestring.

""

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

breakEnd p is equivalent to spanEnd (not . p) and to (takeWhileEnd (not . p) &&& dropWhileEnd (not . p)).

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

Similar to break, returns the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements which do not satisfy the predicate and the remainder of the string.

break p is equivalent to span (not . p) and to (takeWhile (not . p) &&& dropWhile (not . p)).

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

Similar to span, returns the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements satisfying the predicate and the remainder of the string.

span p is equivalent to break (not . p) and to (takeWhile p &&& dropWhile p).

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

Returns the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements satisfying the predicate and the remainder of the string.

spanEnd p is equivalent to breakEnd (not . p) and to (takeWhileEnd p &&& dropWhileEnd p).

We have

spanEnd (not . isSpace) "x y z" == ("x y ", "z")

and

spanEnd (not . isSpace) sbs
   ==
let (x, y) = span (not . isSpace) (reverse sbs) in (reverse y, reverse x)

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) splitAt n sbs is equivalent to (take n sbs, drop n sbs).

Note: copies the substrings

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) Break a ShortByteString into pieces separated by the byte argument, consuming the delimiter. I.e.

split 10  "a\nb\nd\ne" == ["a","b","d","e"]   -- fromEnum '\n' == 10
split 97  "aXaXaXa"    == ["","X","X","X",""] -- fromEnum 'a' == 97
split 120 "x"          == ["",""]             -- fromEnum 'x' == 120
split undefined ""     == []                  -- and not [""]

and

intercalate [c] . split c == id
split == splitWith . (==)

Note: copies the substrings

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) Splits a ShortByteString into components delimited by separators, where the predicate returns True for a separator element. The resulting components do not contain the separators. Two adjacent separators result in an empty component in the output. eg.

splitWith (==97) "aabbaca" == ["","","bb","c",""] -- fromEnum 'a' == 97
splitWith undefined ""     == []                  -- and not [""]

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) The isPrefixOf function takes two ShortByteStrings and returns True

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

O(n) The isSuffixOf function takes two ShortByteStrings and returns True iff the first is a suffix of the second.

The following holds:

isSuffixOf x y == reverse x `isPrefixOf` reverse y

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0

Break a string on a substring, returning a pair of the part of the string prior to the match, and the rest of the string.

The following relationships hold:

break (== c) l == breakSubstring (singleton c) l

For example, to tokenise a string, dropping delimiters:

tokenise x y = h : if null t then [] else tokenise x (drop (length x) t)
    where (h,t) = breakSubstring x y

To skip to the first occurrence of a string:

snd (breakSubstring x y)

To take the parts of a string before a delimiter:

fst (breakSubstring x y)

Note that calling `breakSubstring x` does some preprocessing work, so you should avoid unnecessarily duplicating breakSubstring calls with the same pattern.

Since: bytestring-0.11.3.0
