High-level Functions on top of Unix

Some useful functions built on top of Unix.

status: unstable
Since 0.10

type 'a or_error = ('a, string) Result.result

type 'a gen = unit -> 'a option

Calling Commands

val escape_str : string -> string

Escape a string so it can be a shell argument.

type call_result = <

`errcode : int;`	`(*`	Extracted from status	`*)`
`status : Unix.process_status;`
`stderr : string;`
`stdout : string;`

val call_full : ?bufsize:int ->
       ?stdin:[ `Gen of string gen | `Str of string ] ->
       ?env:string array ->
       ('a, Buffer.t, unit, call_result) Pervasives.format4 -> 'a

call_full cmd wraps the result of Unix.open_process_full cmd into an object. It reads the full stdout and stderr of the subprocess before returning.

bufsize : buffer size used to read stdout and stderr

stdin : if provided, the generator or string is consumed and fed to the subprocess input channel, which is then closed.

env : environment to run the command in

val call : ?bufsize:int ->
       ?stdin:[ `Gen of string gen | `Str of string ] ->
       ?env:string array ->
       ('a, Buffer.t, unit, string * string * int) Pervasives.format4 -> 'a

call cmd is similar to call_full cmd but returns a tuple stdout, stderr, errcode instead of an object.

val call_stdout : ?bufsize:int ->
       ?stdin:[ `Gen of string gen | `Str of string ] ->
       ?env:string array -> ('a, Buffer.t, unit, string) Pervasives.format4 -> 'a

type line = string

type async_call_result = <

	`close_all : unit;`
	`close_err : unit;`
	`close_in : unit;`
	`close_out : unit;`
	`stderr : line gen;`
	`stdin : line -> unit;`
	`stdout : line gen;`
	`wait : Unix.process_status;`
	`wait_errcode : int;`

A subprocess for interactive usage (read/write channels line by line)
Since 0.11

val async_call : ?env:string array ->
       ('a, Buffer.t, unit, async_call_result) Pervasives.format4 -> 'a

Spawns a subprocess, like CCUnix.call, but the subprocess's channels are line generators and line sinks (for stdin). if p is async_call "cmd", then p#wait waits for the subprocess to die. Channels can be closed independently.
Since 0.11

Accessors

val stdout : < stdout : 'a; .. > -> 'a

val stderr : < stderr : 'a; .. > -> 'a

val status : < status : 'a; .. > -> 'a

val errcode : < errcode : 'a; .. > -> 'a

Simple IO

val with_in : ?mode:int ->
       ?flags:Unix.open_flag list -> string -> f:(Pervasives.in_channel -> 'a) -> 'a

Open an input file with the given optional flag list, calls the function on the input channel. When the function raises or returns, the channel is closed.
Since 0.16

flags : opening flags. Unix.O_RDONLY is used in any cases

val with_out : ?mode:int ->
       ?flags:Unix.open_flag list ->
       string -> f:(Pervasives.out_channel -> 'a) -> 'a

Same as CCUnix.with_in but for an output channel
Since 0.16

flags : opening flags (default [Unix.O_CREAT; Unix.O_TRUNC]) Unix.O_WRONLY is used in any cases.

val with_process_in : string -> f:(Pervasives.in_channel -> 'a) -> 'a

Open a subprocess and obtain a handle to its stdout

      CCUnix.with_process_in "ls /tmp" ~f:CCIO.read_lines_l;;

Since 0.16

val with_process_out : string -> f:(Pervasives.out_channel -> 'a) -> 'a

Open a subprocess and obtain a handle to its stdin
Since 0.16

type process_full = <

`close : Unix.process_status;`	`(*`	Will block until the process stops	`*)`
`stderr : Pervasives.in_channel;`
`stdin : Pervasives.out_channel;`
`stdout : Pervasives.in_channel;`

Handle to a subprocess.
Since 0.16

val with_process_full : ?env:string array -> string -> f:(process_full -> 'a) -> 'a

Open a subprocess and obtain a handle to its channels.
Since 0.16

env : environment to pass to the subprocess.

val with_connection : Unix.sockaddr ->
       f:(Pervasives.in_channel -> Pervasives.out_channel -> 'a) -> 'a

Wrap Unix.open_connection with a handler
Since 0.16

exception ExitServer

val establish_server : Unix.sockaddr ->
       f:(Pervasives.in_channel -> Pervasives.out_channel -> 'a) -> unit

Listen on the address and calls the handler in a blocking fashion. Using Thread is recommended if handlers might take time. The callback should raise CCUnix.ExitServer to stop the loop.
Since 0.16
