About

Baracus provides various utilities for working with byte arrays in Clojure & Clojurescript. This documentation is a work in progress.

Project Name

This project works with byte-array data, which is often abbreviated ba in code. B.A. Baracus was a character on the 1980s TV series The A-Team.

Examples

Data Types

In Clojure, Baracus uses Java's primitive byte array. In ClojureScript, Baracus uses the js/Int8Array data type. Note that bytes are signed in both cases, following Java's implementation.

API Documentation

All public vars and functions are in the deercreeklabs.baracus namespace. Any other namespaces should be considered private implementation details that may change.

byte-array?

(byte-array? arg)

Tests if the argument is a byte array. For Clojure, this means a Java primitive byte array. For ClojureScript, this means an instance of the js/Int8Array data type.

Parameters

• arg: The argument to be tested

Return Value

true if the argument is a byte array, false otherwise

Example

(require '[deercreeklabs.baracus :as ba])

(def my-ba (ba/byte-array 10))

(ba/byte-array? my-ba)
;; true

(ba/byte-array? "not a byte-array")
;; false
