Binary Functions

Returns the approximate length of a binary value, or an error if the data source does not support approximate length.

Buffers a binary value in memory, producing a stable value with deterministic length and byte order.

Combines a list of binary values into a single binary value.

Compresses a binary value using the specified compression type (GZip or Deflate).

Decompresses a binary value using the specified compression type (GZip or Deflate).

Converts a value to its binary representation.

Converts a list of byte numbers (0-255) into a binary value.

Decodes text encoded as Base64 or hexadecimal into a binary value.

Infers the MIME content type and optional encoding information from a binary stream.

Returns the number of bytes in a binary value.

Returns a subset of a binary value beginning at a given offset.

Splits a binary value into a list of binary chunks of a specified page size.

Converts a binary value into a list of byte numbers (0-255).

Encodes binary data as Base64 or hexadecimal text.
