Operations on open files.

module Unix_perm : sig ... end

Tranditional Unix permissions.

module Stat : sig ... end

Portable file stats.

class virtual ro : object ... end

A file opened for reading.

class virtual rw : object ... end

A file opened for reading and writing.

val stat : ro -> Stat.t

stat t returns the Stat.t record associated with t.

val size : ro -> Optint.Int63.t

size t returns the size of t.

val pread : ro -> file_offset:Optint.Int63.t -> Cstruct.t list -> int

pread t ~file_offset bufs performs a single read of t at file_offset into bufs.

It returns the number of bytes read, which may be less than the space in bufs, even if more bytes are available. Use pread_exact instead if you require the buffer to be filled.

To read at the current offset, use Flow.single_read instead.

val pread_exact : ro -> file_offset:Optint.Int63.t -> Cstruct.t list -> unit

pread_exact t ~file_offset bufs reads from t into bufs until bufs is full.

  • raises End_of_file

    if the buffer could not be filled.

val pwrite_single : rw -> file_offset:Optint.Int63.t -> Cstruct.t list -> int

pwrite_single t ~file_offset bufs performs a single write operation, writing data from bufs to location file_offset in t.

It returns the number of bytes written, which may be less than the length of bufs. In most cases, you will want to use pwrite_all instead.

val pwrite_all : rw -> file_offset:Optint.Int63.t -> Cstruct.t list -> unit

pwrite_all t ~file_offset bufs writes all the data in bufs to location file_offset in t.
