# Lexical characteristics of Haskell names

Use these functions to figure what kind of name a `FastString` represents; these functions do not check that the identifier is valid.

isLexCon :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexVar :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexId :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexSym :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexConId :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexConSym :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexVarId :: FastString -> Bool Source

isLexVarSym :: FastString -> Bool Source

startsVarSym :: Char -> Bool Source

startsVarId :: Char -> Bool Source

startsConSym :: Char -> Bool Source

startsConId :: Char -> Bool Source

# Validating identifiers

These functions (working over plain old `String`s) check to make sure that the identifier is valid.

okVarOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable variable name?

okConOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable constructor name?

okTcOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable type name?

okVarIdOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable alphanumeric variable name, assuming it starts with an acceptable letter?

okVarSymOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable symbolic variable name, assuming it starts with an acceptable character?

okConIdOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable alphanumeric constructor name, assuming it starts with an acceptable letter?

okConSymOcc :: String -> Bool Source

Is this an acceptable symbolic constructor name, assuming it starts with an acceptable character?
