-1.5 More about variables ~
+1.5 Blobs ~
+						*blob* *Blob* *Blobs* *E978*
+A Blob mostly behaves like a |List| of numbers, where the numbers have an
+8-bit value, from 0 to 255.
+
+
+Blob creation ~
+
+A Blob can be created with a |blob-literal|: >
+	:let b = 0zFF00ED015DAF
+
+A blob can be read from a file with |readfile()| passing the {type} argument
+set to "B", for example: >
+	:let b = readfile('image.png', 'B')
+
+A blob can be read from a channel with the |ch_readblob()| function.
+
+
+Blob index ~
+							*blob-index* *E979*
+A byte in the Blob can be accessed by putting the index in square brackets
+after the Blob.  Indexes are zero-based, thus the first byte has index zero. >
+	:let myblob = 0z00112233
+	:let byte = myblob[0]		" get the first byte: 0x00
+	:let byte = myblob[2]		" get the third byte: 0x22
+
+A negative index is counted from the end.  Index -1 refers to the last byte in
+the Blob, -2 to the last but one byte, etc. >
+	:let last = myblob[-1]		" get the last byte: 0x33
+
+To avoid an error for an invalid index use the |get()| function.  When an item
+is not available it returns -1 or the default value you specify: >
+	:echo get(myblob, idx)
+	:echo get(myblob, idx, 999)
+
+
+Blob concatenation ~
+
+Two blobs can be concatenated with the "+" operator: >
+	:let longblob = myblob + 0z4455
+	:let myblob += 0z6677
+
+To change a blob in-place see |blob-modification| below.
+
+
+Part of a blob ~
+
+A part of the Blob can be obtained by specifying the first and last index,
+separated by a colon in square brackets: >
+	:let myblob = 0z00112233
+	:let shortblob = myblob[2:-1]	" get 0z2233
+
+Omitting the first index is similar to zero.  Omitting the last index is
+similar to -1. >
+	:let endblob = myblob[2:]	" from item 2 to the end: 0z2233
+	:let shortblob = myblob[2:2]	" Blob with one byte: 0z22
+	:let otherblob = myblob[:]	" make a copy of the Blob
+
+If the first index is beyond the last byte of the Blob or the second byte is
+before the first byte, the result is an empty list.  There is no error
+message.
+
+If the second index is equal to or greater than the length of the list the
+length minus one is used: >
+	:echo myblob[2:8]		" result: 0z2233
+
+
+Blob modification ~
+							*blob-modification*
+To change a specific byte of a blob use |:let| this way: >
+	:let blob[4] = 0x44
+
+When the index is just one beyond the end of the Blob, it is appended. Any
+higher index is an error.
+
+To change a sequence of bytes the [:] notation can be used: >
+	let blob[1:3] = 0z445566
+The length of the replaced bytes much be exactly the same as the value
+provided. *E972*
+
+To change part of a blob you can specify the first and last byte to be
+modified.  The value must at least have the number of bytes in the range: >
+	:let blob[3:5] = [3, 4, 5]
+
+You can also use the functions |add()|, |remove()| and |insert()|.
+
+
+Blob identity ~
+
+Blobs can be compared for equality: >
+	if blob == 0z001122
+And for equal identity: >
+	if blob is otherblob
+<							*blob-identity* *E977*
+When variable "aa" is a Blob and you assign it to another variable "bb", both
+variables refer to the same Blob.  Then the "is" operator returns true.
+
+When making a copy using [:] or |copy()| the values are the same, but the
+identity is different: >
+	:let blob = 0z112233
+	:let blob2 = blob
+	:echo blob == blob2
+<	1 >
+	:echo blob is blob2
+<	1 >
+	:let blob3 = blob[:]
+	:echo blob == blob3
+<	1 >
+	:echo blob is blob3
+<	0
+
+Making a copy of a list is done with the |copy()| function.  Using [:] also
+works, as explained above.

 function.
