exception IOError of int * exn

Type of I/O errors

In IOError (n, exn), n is the number of bytes successfully read/written before the error and exn is the occured exception (e.g. Unix_error, End_of_file)

Input functions
val read : ?⁠min_len:int ‑> Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> int

read ?min_len fd ?pos ?len bstr reads at least min_len (must be greater than or equal zero) and at most len (must be greater than or equal to min_len) bytes from file descriptor fd, and writes them to bigstring bstr starting at position pos.

val really_read : Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> unit

really_read fd ?pos ?len bstr reads len bytes from file descriptor fd, and writes them to bigstring bstr starting at position pos.

really_input ic ?pos ?len bstr reads exactly len bytes from input channel ic, and writes them to bigstring bstr starting at position pos.

really_write fd ?pos ?len bstr writes len bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file descriptor fd.

val really_send_no_sigpipe : (Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> unit) Core__.Import.Or_error.t

really_send_no_sigpipe sock ?pos ?len bstr sends len bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to socket sock without blocking and ignoring SIGPIPE.

sendto_nonblocking_no_sigpipe sock ?pos ?len bstr sockaddr tries to send len bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to socket sock using address addr.

val write : Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> int

write fd ?pos ?len bstr writes len bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file descriptor fd.

val pwrite_assume_fd_is_nonblocking : Unix.file_descr ‑> offset:int ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> int

pwrite_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd ~offset ?pos ?len bstr writes up to len bytes of bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file descriptor fd at position offset. The fd must be capable of seeking, and the current file offset used for non-positional read()/write() calls is unchanged.

val write_assume_fd_is_nonblocking : Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> int

write_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd ?pos ?len bstr writes len bytes in bigstring bstr starting at position pos to file descriptor fd without yielding to other OCaml-threads.

val writev : Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠count:int ‑> t Core__.Core_unix.IOVec.t array ‑> int

writev fd ?count iovecs writes countiovecs of bigstrings to file descriptor fd.

val writev_assume_fd_is_nonblocking : Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠count:int ‑> t Core__.Core_unix.IOVec.t array ‑> int

val recvmmsg_assume_fd_is_nonblocking : (Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠count:int ‑> ?⁠srcs:Unix.sockaddr array ‑> t Core__.Core_unix.IOVec.t array ‑> lens:int array ‑> int) Core__.Import.Or_error.t

recvmmsg_assume_fd_is_nonblocking fd iovecs ~count ~lens receives up to count messages into iovecs from file descriptor fd without yielding to other OCaml threads. If ~count is supplied, it must be that 0 <= count <= Array.length iovecs. If ~srcs is supplied, save the source addresses for corresponding received messages there. If supplied, Array.length srcs must be >= count. Save the lengths of the received messages in lens. It is required that Array.length lens >= count.

If an IOVec isn't long enough for its corresponding message, excess bytes may be discarded, depending on the type of socket the message is received from. While the recvmmsg system call itself does return details of such truncation, etc., those details are not (yet) passed through this interface.

val sendmsg_nonblocking_no_sigpipe : (Unix.file_descr ‑> ?⁠count:int ‑> t Core__.Core_unix.IOVec.t array ‑> int option) Core__.Import.Or_error.t

sendmsg_nonblocking_no_sigpipe sock ?count iovecs sends countiovecs of bigstrings to socket sock.

val output : ?⁠min_len:int ‑> Core__.Import.Out_channel.t ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> int

output ?min_len oc ?pos ?len bstr tries to output len bytes (guarantees to write at least min_len bytes (must be equal to or greater than zero), if possible, before returning) from bigstring bstr starting at position pos to output channel oc.

val really_output : Core__.Import.Out_channel.t ‑> ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> t ‑> unit

really_output oc ?pos ?len bstr outputs exactly len bytes from bigstring bstr starting at position pos to output channel oc.

Memory mapping
val map_file : shared:bool ‑> Unix.file_descr ‑> int ‑> t

map_file shared fd n memory-maps n characters of the data associated with descriptor fd to a bigstring. Iff shared is true, all changes to the bigstring will be reflected in the file.

Users must keep in mind that operations on the resulting bigstring may result in disk operations which block the runtime. This is true for pure OCaml operations (such as t.

<- 1), and for calls to blit. While some I/O operations may release the OCaml lock, users should not expect this to be done for all operations on a bigstring returned from map_file.
