rawFromHex(data) rawFromAscii(data)
raw bytes are to be interpreted.
raw containing all the bytes encoded in
data.
The strings are interpreted as hex or ascii characters for
rawFromHex and
rawFromAscii.
All the character strings are concatenated, with terminating null bytes omitted,
and the result packed into the corresponding number of bytes of raw data.
The function
rawData is the most elementary constructor,
but
rawFromHex is likely better.
The function
readRaw reads binary data into any suitable object;
it can be used for creating
raw objects,
as well as for numeric vectors.
rawFromAscii(letters[1:6])
rawData(6, c("61626364", "65660000"))
rawFromHex(rep("3af", 4))
rawData(6, c("3af3af3a", "f3af0000"))
