More About »
Byte
Sequence of bytes.
Raw binary format.
Equivalent to the UnsignedInteger8 format.
Import
can read any file as a sequence of unsigned 8-bit integers.
Export
writes a list of integers in the range (0, 255) to a binary file.
IMPORT AND EXPORT
Import
imports any file, returning a packed array of integers in the range (0, 255).
Export
exports a list of integers in the range (0, 255) to
file
.
Import
or
Import
imports the specified element from
file
.
Import
imports multiple elements.
See the reference pages for full general information on
Import
and
Export
.
ImportString
and
ExportString
support the Byte format.
ELEMENTS
General
Import
elements:
"Elements"
elements and options available in this file
"Rules"
full rules for each element and option
"Options"
rules for options, properties, and settings
Data representation element:
"Data"
list of integers in the range (0, 255)
By default,
Import
and
Export
use the
element.
Import
gives the
n
byte from
file
.
OPTIONS
Import
option:
"HeaderBytes"
0
how many bytes to skip at the beginning of the file
