Module Core__Core_unix.IOVec

I/O-vectors for scatter/gather-operations

type 'buf t = private {

`buf : 'buf;`	(** Buffer holding the I/O-vector *)
`pos : int;`	(** Position of I/O-vector in buffer *)
`len : int;`	(** Length of I/O-vector in buffer *)

}

Representation of I/O-vectors. NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE THE MEMORY LAYOUT OF THIS TYPE!!! All C-functions in our bindings that handle I/O-vectors depend on it.

type 'buf kind

Kind of I/O-vector buffers

type bigstring = (char, Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, Bigarray.c_layout) Bigarray.Array1.t

val string_kind : string kind

val bigstring_kind : bigstring kind

val empty : 'buf kind ‑> 'buf t

empty the empty I/O-vector.

val of_string : ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> string ‑> string t

of_string ?pos ?len str

Returns an I/O-vector designated by position pos and length len in string str.
Raises Invalid_argument: if designated substring out of bounds.
Parameter pos: default = 0
Parameter len: default = String.length str - pos

val of_bigstring : ?⁠pos:int ‑> ?⁠len:int ‑> bigstring ‑> bigstring t

of_bigstring ?pos ?len bstr

Returns an I/O-vector designated by position pos and length len in bigstring bstr.
Raises Invalid_argument: if designated substring out of bounds.
Parameter pos: default = 0
Parameter len: default = String.length str - pos

val drop : 'buf t ‑> int ‑> 'buf t

drop iovec n drops n characters from iovec.

Returns resulting I/O-vector.
Raises Failure: if n is greater than length of iovec.
