byte-vector-fill Sealed Generic function

Fill a byte vector with a specific byte value.

Signature:

byte-vector-fill (target value #key start end) => ()

Parameters:

  • target – The byte vector to fill. An instance of <byte-vector>.

  • value – The value with which to fill target. An instance of <integer>.

  • start – The index at which to start filling target. An instance of <integer>, default 0.

  • end – The index before which to stop filling target. An instance of <integer>, default target.size.

Parameters:
Values:
copy-bytes Open Generic function

Efficiently copy bytes from one sequence to another.

Signature:

copy-bytes (dst dst-start src src-start n) => ()

Parameters:

  • dst – The destination sequence. An instance of <mutable-sequence>.

  • dst-start – The start index in dst at which to store bytes. An instance of <integer>.

  • src – The source sequence. An instance of <sequence>.

  • src-start – The start index in src at which to read bytes. An instance of <integer>.

  • n – The number of bytes to copy. An instance of <integer>.
