The best name for procedure that convert binary array to hex string

[LemonParty]

I have a procedure that converts byte by byte binary array to hex string. For example:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. const
2.   Arr: array [0..3] of Byte = (0, 1, 14, 15);
3. var
4.   S: String;
5. begin
6.   SetLength(S, SizeOf(Arr) * 2);
7.   BinToHex(Arr[0], 4, PAnsiChar(@S[1])^);
8.   {S now contain 00010E0F}
9. end;

Header of my procedure look like this:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure BinToHex(constref Binary: Byte; Count: SizeUInt; var Hex: AnsiChar);

The question is: What name fit the best to this procedure?

Two variants are:
1. BinToHex;
2. HexStr; (dublicate the name of already existed in System functions)
Maybe you have you own variant of the name.

1. BinToHex;

Bin is make imply binary. binary is zero and one. May be you is mean BytesToHex ?

2. HexStr; (dublicate the name of already existed in System functions)

Can make overload and make use HexStr (may be is more better HexStrBytes or HexStrArr)

Maybe you have you own variant of the name.

I name HexStr

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function HexStr(Bytes:TByteDynArray):string;overload;
2. var
3.   b:byte;
4. begin
5.   result:='';
6.   for b in bytes
7.     do result+={system.}HexStr(b,2);
8. end;
9.  
10. var
11.   Arr:array [0..5] of Byte=(0,1,14,15,4,3);
12. begin
13.   writeln('$',HexStr(Arr));
14. end.
15.  

because is same system HexStr that is return string.

This may well be 'Left Field'  but I use 'SetHEX'.

I'm currently using such to convert Integer to Hex.

@J-G,
I not know this you want for learn how to but there is exist helper that can do convert for you: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/tintegerhelper.tohexstring.html

Like most of my projects, this is a re-work of an old one that was (is?) an excercise to improve my knowledge of how 'numbers' work;  so using a 'black-box' that I feed a number to doesn't help me understand the internal working.

It's not just Int to Hex, it takes Integer, Hex or Binary input and returns INT, HEX, BIN & OCT -  and now UNICODE character in any Font & size available.

I use the Lazarus IDE, so there are no issues with entering long names (auto‑completion). Suggest BinaryArrayToHexString.

Naming functions and procedures is an art form.  Has anyone tried asking something like ChatGPT to suggests a name in cases like this?

Curt Carpenter, I building library for humans not AI. So I interesting in their opinion.
Thank you for answers.
I will left HexStr for now, but maybe change to ToHex later.
