Binary.createBlock(3kaya) Kaya module reference Binary.createBlock(3kaya)NAME
Binary::createBlock - Create a new, uninitialised block for binary data.
SYNOPSIS
Binary createBlock( Int bsize )
ARGUMENTS
bsize The size of the block. Block sizes cannot be changed once the block is created.
DESCRIPTION
Create a new, uninitialised block for binary data. Remember to use Builtins.byteLength(3kaya) instead of Builtins.length(3kaya) if you
want to store Strings in these, as you may have problems with multi-byte characters otherwise.
The uninitialised contents of this block are not guaranteed to be zeroes.

Dear Experts
I need to read a binary file. I know for example in byte number 3801-3804 there is a 4 byte number embeded. Is there a way to extract this number from this file and then convert it to ascii via unix??
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Very Best Regards

I have a binary file a particular format.
It contains the Length Bytes and the Type bytes i.e the first four bytes if the file indicate the length of the Type which is to follow.
for eg, if the int value of the first four bytes is 80, then it means that the length of the following "Type" is 80.... (2 Replies)

Hi All,
I have a ln between two files (say ln a b), when i truncate file " b ", this truncates file " a " also, a binary line is being added as the first line of both the files.
This is causing problems with other scripts which grep on the above files.

Dear Experts,
I have one binary file which contains multiple 31k (31744) records.
Each record begins with "a6 82".
So the pattern is:
a6 82 (+31742 bytes)
a6 82 (+31742 bytes)
a6 82 (+31742 bytes)
a6 82 (+31742 bytes)
There are some corrupted files where record does... (6 Replies)

Hi guys and gals...
I am now beyond the limits of my POSIX knowledge here.
Below is a piece of code that runs perfectly well on small string lengths, BYTE sizes up to around 1KB, (3KB of octal text).
It generates byte vlues from 0x00 to 0xFF.
It passes Shell Check's requirements and... (6 Replies)
