For debugging, I need to dump the inside of `ByteArray#`. Are there any utility functions for this purpose?

The `SBS` pattern in `Data.ByteString.Short.Internal` wraps up a `ByteArray#` as `ShortByteString`.

What sort of "dump" did you have in mind? A hexadecimal encoding? Something else?

Related combinators I've used at times (so `SBS` is also exported from "Data.ByteString.Short", withour resort to ".Internal"): import qualified Data.Primitive.ByteArray as A import qualified Data.ByteString.Short as SB import Data.Array.Byte (ByteArray(..), MutableByteArray(..)) import Data.ByteString.Short (ShortByteString(SBS)) baToShortByteString :: ByteArray -> ShortByteString baToShortByteString (ByteArray ba) = SBS ba modifyArray :: MutableByteArray s -> Int -> (Word8 -> Word8) -> ST s () modifyArray marr i f = A.readByteArray marr i >>= A.writeByteArray marr i . f sbsToByteArray :: ShortByteString -> ByteArray sbsToByteArray (SBS ba) = (ByteArray ba) sbsToMutableByteArray :: ShortByteString -> ST s (MutableByteArray s) sbsToMutableByteArray sb@(SBS ba) = A.thawByteArray (ByteArray ba) 0 (SB.length sb) -- Viktor.
