Deprecated MirageOS signatures, use them directly

  • deprecated This module will be removed from MirageOS 4.0. Please use the individual signatures (mirage-net / mirage-block / ...) directly.

General conventions

  • errors which application programmers are expected to handle (e.g. connection refused or end of file) are encoded as result types where Ok x means the operation was succesful and returns x and where Error e means the operation has failed with error e. The error e uses the Rresult.R.msg type for the most general error message, and possibly more specific ones depending on the interface.
  • errors which represent programming errors such as assertion failures or illegal arguments are encoded as exceptions. The application may attempt to catch exceptions and recover or simply let the exception propagate and crash the application. If the application crashes then the runtime system should output diagnostics and abort.
  • operations which perform I/O return values of type +'a io which allow the application to either wait for the I/O to be completed or leave it running asynchronously. If the I/O completes with an error then the operation may have completely failed, partially succeeded or even completely succeeded (e.g. it may only be a confirmation message in a network protocol which was missed): see individual API descriptions for details.
