NAME

ThreadUnix - Thread-compatible system calls.

Module

Module ThreadUnix

Documentation

Module ThreadUnix
: sig end

Deprecated. The functionality of this module has been merged back into the Unix module. Threaded programs can now call the functions from module Unix directly, and still get the correct behavior (block the calling thread, if required, but do not block all threads in the process).

Thread-compatible system calls.

Process handling

val execv : string -> string array -> unit

val execve : string -> string array -> string array -> unit

val execvp : string -> string array -> unit

val wait : unit -> int * Unix.process_status

val waitpid : Unix.wait_flag list -> int -> int * Unix.process_status

val system : string -> Unix.process_status

Basic input/output

val read : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> int

val write : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> int

val write_substring : Unix.file_descr -> string -> int -> int -> int

Input/output with timeout

val timed_read : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> float -> int

See ThreadUnix.timed_write .

val timed_write : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> float -> int

Behave as ThreadUnix.read and ThreadUnix.write , except that Unix_error(ETIMEDOUT,_,_) is raised if no data is available for reading or ready for writing after d seconds. The delay d is given in the fifth argument, in seconds.

val timed_write_substring : Unix.file_descr -> string -> int -> int -> float -> int

See ThreadUnix.timed_write .

Polling

val select : Unix.file_descr list -> Unix.file_descr list -> Unix.file_descr list -> float -> Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr list * Unix.file_descr list

Pipes and redirections

val pipe : ?cloexec:bool -> unit -> Unix.file_descr * Unix.file_descr

val open_process_in : string -> in_channel

val open_process_out : string -> out_channel

val open_process : string -> in_channel * out_channel

Time

val sleep : int -> unit

Sockets

val socket : ?cloexec:bool -> Unix.socket_domain -> Unix.socket_type -> int -> Unix.file_descr

val accept : ?cloexec:bool -> Unix.file_descr -> Unix.file_descr * Unix.sockaddr

val connect : Unix.file_descr -> Unix.sockaddr -> unit

val recv : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> int

val recvfrom : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> int * Unix.sockaddr

val send : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> int

val send_substring : Unix.file_descr -> string -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> int

val sendto : Unix.file_descr -> bytes -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> Unix.sockaddr -> int

val sendto_substring : Unix.file_descr -> string -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> Unix.sockaddr -> int

val open_connection : Unix.sockaddr -> in_channel * out_channel
