Serialize a raw vector to a string — raw_deparse

This function converts a raw vector to a hexadecimal string, optionally adding a prefix and a suffix. It is roughly equivalent to paste0(prefix, paste(format(x), collapse = ""), suffix) and much faster.

Usage

raw_deparse_str(x, prefix = NULL, suffix = NULL)

Arguments

x: A raw vector.
prefix, suffix: Prefix and suffix strings, or `NULL.

Value

A string.

Examples

raw_deparse_str(raw())
#> [1] ""
raw_deparse_str(charToRaw("string"))
#> [1] "737472696e67"
raw_deparse_str(raw(10), prefix = "'0x", suffix = "'")
#> [1] "'0x00000000000000000000'"
