Module CCIO.File

module File: sig .. end

type t = string 
A file should be represented by its absolute path, but currently this is not enforced.
val to_string : t -> string
val make : string -> t
Build a file representation from a path (absolute or relative)
val exists : t -> bool
val is_directory : t -> bool
val remove_exn : t -> unit
remove_exn path tries to remove the file at path from the file system.
Since 0.8
Raises Sys_error if there is no file at path or access rights are wrong.
val remove : t -> unit CCIO.or_error
Like remove_exn but with an error monad.
Since 0.8
val remove_noerr : t -> unit
Like remove_exn but do not raise any exception on failure.
Since 0.8
val read_dir : ?recurse:bool -> t -> t CCIO.gen
read_dir d returns a sequence of files and directory contained in the directory d (or an empty stream if d is not a directory)
Raises Sys_error in case of error (e.g. permission denied)
recurse : if true (default false), sub-directories are also explored
val read_exn : t -> string
Read the content of the given file, or raises some exception
Since 0.16
Raises Sys_error in case of error
val read : t -> string CCIO.or_error
Read the content of the given file
Since 0.16
val append_exn : t -> string -> unit
Append the given string into the given file, possibly raising
Since 0.16
Raises Sys_error in case of error
val append : t -> string -> unit CCIO.or_error
Append the given string into the given file
Since 0.16
val write_exn : t -> string -> unit
Write the given string into the given file, possibly raising
Since 0.16
Raises Sys_error in case of error
val write : t -> string -> unit CCIO.or_error
Write the given string into the given file
Since 0.16
type walk_item = [ `Dir | `File ] * t 
val walk : t -> walk_item CCIO.gen
Similar to CCIO.File.read_dir (with recurse=true), this function walks a directory recursively and yields either files or directories. Is a file anything that doesn't satisfy CCIO.File.is_directory (including symlinks, etc.)
Raises Sys_error in case of error (e.g. permission denied) during iteration
val walk_l : t -> walk_item list
Same as CCIO.File.walk but returns a list (therefore it's eager and might take some time on large directories)
Since 1.1
val show_walk_item : walk_item -> string
val with_temp : ?temp_dir:string -> prefix:string -> suffix:string -> (string -> 'a) -> 'a
with_temp ~prefix ~suffix f will call f with the name of a new temporary file (located in temp_dir). After f returns, the file is deleted. Best to be used in combination with CCIO.with_out. See Filename.temp_file
