Question

I have a function which output some binary data to a stream. But the stream is abstract, which means the stream can be a file stream, or some other streams. But the stream must be a binary stream which support write-byte function. I searched but not found the answer.

What I want to do is, I have a function which will convert some data to a gif. But I donot want to output the data to a file, I want to output it to something in memory.

Thanks.

The flexi-streams library provides, among other things, in-memory binary streams.
