Module Duppy.Monad.Io

module Io: Monad_io_t  with type socket = Unix.file_descr and module Io = Io

type socket

module Io: Duppy.Io_t  with type socket = socket

Type

type ('a, 'b) handler = {

	`scheduler : 'a Duppy.scheduler;`
	`socket : Io.socket;`
	`mutable data : string;`
	`on_error : Io.failure -> 'b;`

}

A handler for this module is a record that contains the required elements. In particular, on_error is a function that transforms an error raised by Duppy.Io to a reply used to terminate the computation. data is an internal data buffer. It should be initialized with "". It contains the remaining data that was received when using read. If an error occured, data contain data read before the error.

Execution flow

val exec : ?delay:float ->
       priority:'a ->
       ('a, 'b) handler ->
       ('c, 'b) Duppy.Monad.t -> ('c, 'b) Duppy.Monad.t

exec ?delay ~priority h f redirects computation f into a new queue with priority priority and delay delay (0. by default). It can be used to redirect a computation that has to run under a different priority. For instance, a computation that reads from a socket is generally not blocking because the function is executed only when some data is available for reading. However, if the data that is read needs to be processed by a computation that can be blocking, then one may use exec to redirect this computation into an appropriate queue.

val delay : priority:'a ->
       ('a, 'b) handler -> float -> (unit, 'b) Duppy.Monad.t

delay ~priority h d creates a computation that returns unit after delay d in seconds.

Read/write

val read : ?timeout:float ->
       priority:'a ->
       marker:Io.marker ->
       ('a, 'b) handler -> (string, 'b) Duppy.Monad.t

read ?timeout ~priority ~marker h creates a computation that reads from h.socket and returns the first string split according to marker. This function can be used to create a computation that reads data from a socket. timeout parameter forces the computation to return an error if nothing has been read for more than timeout seconds. Default: wait forever.

val read_all : ?timeout:float ->
       priority:'a ->
       'a Duppy.scheduler ->
       Io.socket ->
       (string, string * Io.failure) Duppy.Monad.t

read_all ?timeout ~priority s sock creates a computation that reads all data from sock and returns it. Raised value contains data read before an error occured.

val write : ?timeout:float ->
       priority:'a ->
       ('a, 'b) handler ->
       Stdlib.Bytes.t -> (unit, 'b) Duppy.Monad.t

write ?timeout ~priority h s creates a computation that writes string s to h.socket. This function can be used to create a computation that sends data to a socket. timeout parameter forces the computation to return an error if nothing has been written for more than timeout seconds. Default: wait forever.

val write_bigarray : ?timeout:float ->
       priority:'a ->
       ('a, 'b) handler ->
       Io.bigarray -> (unit, 'b) Duppy.Monad.t

write_bigarray ?timeout ~priority h ba creates a computation that writes data from ba to h.socket. This function can to create a computation that writes data to a socket.
