Functor Duppy.MakeIo

module MakeIo: functor (Transport : Transport_t) -> Io_t  with type socket = Transport.t

Parameters:

Transport : Transport_t

type socket

type marker =

`\|`	`Length of int`
`\|`	`Split of string`

Type for markers.

Split s recognizes all regexp allowed by the Pcre module.

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

Type of Bigarray used here.

type failure =

`\|`	`Io_error`
`\|`	`Unix of Unix.error * string * string`
`\|`	`Unknown of exn`
`\|`	`Timeout`

Different types of failure.

Io_error is raised when reading or writing returned 0. This usually means that the socket was closed.

val read : ?recursive:bool ->
       ?init:string ->
       ?on_error:(string * failure -> unit) ->
       ?timeout:float ->
       priority:'a ->
       'a Duppy.scheduler ->
       socket ->
       marker -> (string * string option -> unit) -> unit

Wrapper to perform a read on a socket and trigger a function when a marker has been detected, or enough data has been read. It reads recursively on a socket, splitting into strings seperated by the marker (if any) and calls the given function on the list of strings.

Can be used recursively or not, depending on the way you process strings. Because of Unix's semantic, it is not possible to stop reading at first marker, so there can be a remaining string. If not used recursively, the second optional argument may contain a remaining string. You should then initiate the next read with this value.

The on_error function is used when reading failed on the socket. Depending on your usage, it can be a hard failure, or simply a lost client. The string passed to on_error contains data read before error occured.

recursive : recursively read and process, default: true

init : initial string for reading, default: ""

on_error : function used when read failed, default: fun _ -> ()

timeout : Terminate with Timeout failure if nothing has been read after the given amout of time in seconds. More precisely, the exception is raised when no character have been read and the socket was not close while waiting. Default: wait forever.

val write : ?exec:(unit -> unit) ->
       ?on_error:(failure -> unit) ->
       ?bigarray:bigarray ->
       ?string:Stdlib.Bytes.t ->
       ?timeout:float ->
       priority:'a -> 'a Duppy.scheduler -> socket -> unit

Similar to read but less complex. write ?exec ?on_error ?string ?bigarray ~priority scheduler socket write data from string, or from bigarray if no string is given, to socket, and executes exec or on_error if errors occured.

Caveat: on Win32, all file descriptors are expected to be in blocking mode before being passed to this call due to limitations in the emulation of the unix/posix API. See code comments for more details.

exec : function to execute after writing, default: fun () -> ()

on_error : function to execute when an error occured, default: fun _ -> ()

bigarray : write data from this bigarray, if no string is given

string : write data from this string

timeout : Terminate with Timeout failure if nothing has been written after the given amout of time in seconds. More precisely, the exception is raised when no character have been written and the socket was not close while waiting. Default: wait forever.
