* Package name : haskell-bytestring Version : 0.6 Upstream Author : Don Stewart * URL : http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/fps.html * License : BSD Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Extremely fast Haskell I/O library using packed strings Data.ByteString (formerly FastPackedString/FPS) provides packed strings (byte arrays held by a ForeignPtr), along with a list interface to these strings. It lets you do extremely fast IO in Haskell; in some cases, even faster than typical C implementations, and much faster than [Char]. It uses a flexible "foreign pointer" representation, allowing the transparent use of Haskell or C code to manipulate the strings. . Data.ByteString is written in Haskell98 + the foreign function interface and cpp. It has been tested succesfully with GHC 6.4 and 6.5, and hugs March 2005. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.6 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
