How to do IO without encoding in Haskell?

I would like to input and to output octets, via IO (), as is, and without any encoding, respectively. The octets have type [Word8]. The stream shall be stdin, stdout, stderr, and files.

Background: I am going to implement a declarative compiler. This parser should be capable to interpret octet by octet, and render octet by octet.

import qualified Octetable as Oct  import qualified Data.Word as W  import qualified System.IO as SysIo    main :: IO ()  main =       do          putOctets SysIo.stdout octets    putOctets :: SysIo.Handle -> [W.Word8] -> IO ()  putOctets hOut octs =       do          SysIo.hPutBuf hOut ??? octs (length octs)    octets :: [W.Word8]  octets = Oct.toOctets "Hallo!"  

How to do implement putOctets to do that?

...and getOctets?

getOctets :: SysIo.Handle -> IO [W.Word8]  getOctets hOut = ...  

I will investigate further, and publish. Hopefully, someone will be faster. I already search for days.
