bytesequtils

A collections of template and proc to make it easier to work with buffer storing data in either string or seq[byte]

Note that it doesn't support openArray[byte]. Conversion to string do not append '\0' therefore using it for as cstring or with C-API is unsafe.

Installation

nimble install bytesequtils

To generate the documentation locally use nimble doc --project src/bytesequtils.nim --out:docs/ or nimble gendoc

Conversion by moving memory

The goal is to obtains a stringrepresentation of seq[byte] without copy. To accomplish that, it is necessary to move memory. Since moveoperation can only be done on mutable memory, immutable data will be copied and thus, will be much slower.
