Module ThreadUnix

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
