The comparison function for byte sequences, with the same specification as Stdlib.compare. Along with the type t, this function compare allows the module Bytes to be passed as argument to the functors Set.Make and Map.Make.
The functions in this section binary encode and decode integers to and from byte sequences.
All following functions raise Invalid_argument if the space needed at index i to decode or encode the integer is not available.
Little-endian (resp. big-endian) encoding means that least (resp. most) significant bytes are stored first. Big-endian is also known as network byte order. Native-endian encoding is either little-endian or big-endian depending on Sys.big_endian.
32-bit and 64-bit integers are represented by the int32 and int64 types, which can be interpreted either as signed or unsigned numbers.
8-bit and 16-bit integers are represented by the int type, which has more bits than the binary encoding. These extra bits are handled as follows:
Functions that decode signed (resp. unsigned) 8-bit or 16-bit integers represented by int values sign-extend (resp. zero-extend) their result.
Functions that encode 8-bit or 16-bit integers represented by int values truncate their input to their least significant bytes.
