RE: [Haskell-cafe] can't find in hayoo

29 Sep 2010

      The idea was to go from

Prelude> :t Data.ByteString.readFile
Data.ByteString.readFile
  :: FilePath -> IO Data.ByteString.Internal.ByteString

to here
Prelude> :t Codec.Binary.Base64.encode
Codec.Binary.Base64.encode :: [GHC.Word.Word8] -> String

unless there is another/easier way????

By and large hayoo is the alta-vista of Haskell search - it has a huge
database but isn't well organized or good at prioritizing. Use Hoogle
when doing type-based searches for functions in the typical GHC load.
http://haskell.org/hoogle/?hoogle=%3A%3A+ByteString+-%3E+[Word8]
Also, what's with the non-standard module specification
"GHC.Word.Word8"? You should use Data.Word.
Cheers,
Thomas
