Although much work has apparently gone into providing support for manipulation
binary data I was unable to uncover a Haskell equivalent of the C fgetc and
fputc functions. The Haskell equivalents work with Unicode character streams,
not bytes words etcetera. I did find a library for handling arrays of bytes and
such, but I did not find it to be convenient for the application I have in
mind. I resolved myself to emitted Unicode 0s and 1s that are later converted
to binary 0s and 1s by means of a C program. Is this functionality missing in
Haskell? or did I miss something?
