[erlang-questions] direct binary to integer conversion

[Muharem Hrnjadovic]

Hello there!

Is there a way to convert a binary to an integer *directly*? Right now I
am using the following construct:

    string:to_integer(binary_to_list(B))

where B is a binary.

Best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen
