Operations like fdRead which read the data as [Char] are often not what you'd want. Instead you'd want the payload to be a ByteString.

Instead of having to roll your own, by using a combination of the unix-bytestring and unix packages, unix ought to directly provide such convenience functions.

This was really confusing to me. If you are already that low-level that you use the unix package and mess with file descriptors... you are probably very far away from anything String based. You don't really want to write a 10GB file using the String type, do you?

I would like to get start on this issue, but, to be honest, I couldn't understand what is the exact issue ? :)

Fixes haskell#35: fd{Read,Write} with ByteString payload

This commit addes two new functions: fdReadBytes and fdWriteBytes.
They are like fdRead and fdWrite respectively but instead of
reading/writing String they use ByteStrings.
