of course - it's a various Binary packages! :)

direct way to read/write values from memory is Foreign.Storable
module, which has provision for
Int8,Int16,Int32,Int64,Word8,Word16,Word32,Word64 and other fixed-size
data formats, and Foreign.Ptr module, which supports pointer
arithmetics

sorry if you need more high-level package, currently we have no such
beast
