17:30 <jA_cOp> I'm using FFI and I have a _pointer to a buffer with serialized content; for example, for a string, the first four bytes form an integer specifying the string's length, and the rest of the bytes is the string content. I see there's a bytes->string/utf-8 for the latter, but how can I deserialize the integer?

17:31 <jA_cOp> is there any kind of byte stream functionality for [de]serialization in the standard library?

18:52 <samth> jA_cOp: integer-bytes->integer

22:44 <jA_cOp> samth: thanks!
