Characters

Sourcetype t = char

An alias for the type of characters.

Sourceval code : char -> int

code c is the byte corresponding to c. If c is an ASCII character this corresponds to its encoding in ASCII or UTF-8.

Sourceval chr : int -> char

Return the character with the given integer code.

Sourceval escaped : char -> string

Return a string representing the given character, with special characters escaped following the lexical conventions of OCaml. All characters outside the ASCII printable range [0x20;0x7E] are escaped, as well as backslash, double-quote, and single-quote.

Hashing

Sourceval seeded_hash : int -> t -> int

A seeded hash function for characters, with the same output value as Hashtbl.seeded_hash. This function allows this module to be passed as argument to the functor Hashtbl.MakeSeeded.

Sourceval is_digit : t -> bool

Check if a character belongs to the set {'0'..'9'}.

Sourceval is_lowercase_hex : t -> bool

Check if a character belongs to the set {'0'..'9', 'a'..'f'}.
