Filesystem functions


val sendfile : (?pos:int ->
        ?len:int -> fd:Unix.File_descr.t -> Unix.File_descr.t -> int)
       Or_error.t
sendfile ?pos ?len ~fd sock sends mmap-able data from file descriptor fd to socket sock using offset pos and length len.
Raises Unix_error on Unix-errors.
Returns the number of characters actually written.

NOTE: if the returned value is unequal to what was requested (= the initial size of the data by default), the system call may have been interrupted by a signal, the source file may have been truncated during operation, or a timeout occurred on the socket during sending. It is currently impossible to find out which of the events above happened. Calling Linux_ext.sendfile several times on the same descriptor that only partially accepted data due to a timeout will eventually lead to the unix error EAGAIN.

val gettcpopt_bool : (Unix.File_descr.t -> tcp_bool_option -> bool) Or_error.t
gettcpopt_bool sock opt
Returns the current value of the boolean TCP socket option opt for socket sock.
val settcpopt_bool : (Unix.File_descr.t -> tcp_bool_option -> bool -> unit)
       Or_error.t
settcpopt_bool sock opt v sets the current value of the boolean TCP socket option opt for socket sock to value v.
val send_nonblocking_no_sigpipe : (Unix.File_descr.t -> ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> string -> int option)
       Or_error.t
send_nonblocking_no_sigpipe sock ?pos ?len buf tries to do a nonblocking send on socket sock given buffer buf, offset pos and length len. Prevents SIGPIPE, i.e. raise a Unix-error in that case immediately.
Raises Returns Some bytes_written or None if the operation would have blocked.
val send_no_sigpipe : (Unix.File_descr.t -> ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> string -> int) Or_error.t
send_no_sigpipe sock ?pos ?len buf tries to do a blocking send on socket sock given buffer buf, offset pos and length len. Prevents SIGPIPE, i.e. raise a Unix-error in that case immediately.
Raises Returns the number of bytes written.
val sendmsg_nonblocking_no_sigpipe : (Unix.File_descr.t ->
        ?count:int -> string Unix.IOVec.t array -> int option)
       Or_error.t
sendmsg_nonblocking_no_sigpipe sock ?count iovecs tries to do a nonblocking send on socket sock using count I/O-vectors iovecs. Prevents SIGPIPE, i.e. raises a Unix-error in that case immediately.
Raises Returns Some bytes_written or None if the operation would have blocked.

Clock functions


module Clock: sig .. end

Parent death notifications


val pr_set_pdeathsig : (Signal.t -> unit) Or_error.t
pr_set_pdeathsig s sets the signal s to be sent to the executing process when its parent dies. NOTE: the parent may have died before or while executing this system call. To make sure that you do not miss this event, you should call Unix.getppid to get the parent process id after this system call. If the parent has died, the returned parent PID will be 1, i.e. the init process will have adopted the child. You should then either send the signal to yourself using Unix.kill, or execute an appropriate handler.
val pr_get_pdeathsig : (unit -> Signal.t) Or_error.t
pr_get_pdeathsig () get the signal that will be sent to the currently executing process when its parent dies.

Task name


val pr_set_name_first16 : (string -> unit) Or_error.t
pr_set_name_first16 name sets the name of the executing thread to name. Only the first 16 bytes in name will be used, the rest is ignored.
val pr_get_name : (unit -> string) Or_error.t
pr_get_name () gets the name of the executing thread. The name is at most 16 bytes long.

Pathname resolution


val file_descr_realpath : (Unix.File_descr.t -> string) Or_error.t
file_descr_realpath fd
Raises Unix_error on errors.
Returns the canonicalized absolute pathname of the file associated with file descriptor fd.
val out_channel_realpath : (Pervasives.out_channel -> string) Or_error.t
out_channel_realpath oc
Raises Unix_error on errors.
Returns the canonicalized absolute pathname of the file associated with output channel oc.
val in_channel_realpath : (Pervasives.in_channel -> string) Or_error.t
in_channel_realpath ic
Raises Unix_error on errors.
Returns the canonicalized absolute pathname of the file associated with input channel ic.
