System.Posix.IO.ByteString

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi All,

I'm playing around with some low level IO and found the following
function:

    System.Posix.IO.fdRead :: Fd -> ByteCount -> IO (String, ByteCount)

Ok, close, but what if I need a ByteString instead. I then found this:

    System.Posix.IO.ByteString.fdRead :: Fd -> ByteCount -> IO (String, ByteCount)

which is identical to the one above. The ByteString in the module name
suggests it would be using ByteString instead of String?

Can anyone explain this for me?

Cheers,
Erik
