The new module System.Posix.ByteString provides exactly the same API as System.Posix, except that: - There is a new type: RawFilePath = ByteString - All functions mentioning FilePath in the System.Posix API use RawFilePath in the System.Posix.ByteString API - RawFilePaths are not subject to Unicode locale encoding and decoding, unlike FilePaths. They are the exact bytes passed to and returned from the underlying POSIX API. - Similarly for functions that deal in environment strings (System.Posix.Env): these use untranslated ByteStrings in System.Posix.Environment - There is a new function System.Posix.ByteString.getArgs :: [ByteString] returning the raw untranslated arguments as passed to exec() when the program was started.
