mirage 2.6.1 · OCaml Package

Configuration library.

Mirage_types defines a set of well-defined module signatures which are used by the various mirage libraries to implement a large collection of devices.

Module combinators

type 'a typ

The type of values representing module types.

val (@->) : 'a typ -> 'b typ -> ('a -> 'b) typ

Construct a functor type from a type and an existing functor type. This corresponds to prepending a parameter to the list of functor parameters. For example,

kv_ro @-> ip @-> kv_ro

describes a functor type that accepts two arguments -- a kv_ro and an ip device -- and returns a kv_ro.

type 'a impl

The type of values representing module implementations.

val ($) : ('a -> 'b) impl -> 'a impl -> 'b impl

m $ a applies the functor a to the functor m.

val foreign : 
  string ->
  ?libraries:string list ->
  ?packages:string list ->
  'a typ ->
  'a impl

foreign name libs packs constr typ states that the module named by name has the module type typ. If libs is set, add the given set of ocamlfind libraries to the ones loaded by default. If packages is set, add the given set of OPAM packages to the ones loaded by default.
