type 'a t =
  1. | :: of 'a * 'a list

A 'a t represents a non-empty list, as evidenced by the fact that there is no [] variant. The sexp representation is as a regular list (i.e., the same as the Stable.V3 module below).

include Core.Monad.S with type 'a t := 'a t
val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

t >>= f returns a computation that sequences the computations represented by two monad elements. The resulting computation first does t to yield a value v, and then runs the computation returned by f v.

val (>>|) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

t >>| f is t >>= (fun a -> return (f a)).

module Monad_infix : sig ... end
val bind : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

bind t ~f = t >>= f

val return : 'a -> 'a t

return v returns the (trivial) computation that returns v.

val map : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

map t ~f is t >>| f.

val join : 'a t t -> 'a t

join t is t >>= (fun t' -> t').

val ignore_m : 'a t -> unit t

ignore_m t is map t ~f:(fun _ -> ()). ignore_m used to be called ignore, but we decided that was a bad name, because it shadowed the widely used Stdlib.ignore. Some monads still do let ignore = ignore_m for historical reasons.

val all : 'a t list -> 'a list t
val all_unit : unit t list -> unit t

Like all, but ensures that every monadic value in the list produces a unit value, all of which are discarded rather than being collected into a list.

module Let_syntax : sig ... end

These are convenient to have in scope when programming with a monad:

include Core.Indexed_container.S1 with type 'a t := 'a t
include Base.Container.S1 with type 'a t := 'a t
val mem : 'a t -> 'a -> equal:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> bool

Checks whether the provided element is there, using equal.

val length : 'a t -> int
val is_empty : 'a t -> bool
val iter : 'a t -> f:('a -> unit) -> unit
val fold : 'a t -> init:'acc -> f:('acc -> 'a -> 'acc) -> 'acc

fold t ~init ~f returns f (... f (f (f init e1) e2) e3 ...) en, where e1..en are the elements of t

val fold_result : 'a t -> init:'acc -> f:('acc -> 'a -> ('acc, 'e) Base.Result.t) -> ('acc, 'e) Base.Result.t

fold_result t ~init ~f is a short-circuiting version of fold that runs in the Result monad. If f returns an Error _, that value is returned without any additional invocations of f.

val fold_until : 'a t -> init:'acc -> f:('acc -> 'a -> ('acc, 'final) Base.Container.Continue_or_stop.t) -> finish:('acc -> 'final) -> 'final

fold_until t ~init ~f ~finish is a short-circuiting version of fold. If f returns Stop _ the computation ceases and results in that value. If f returns Continue _, the fold will proceed. If f never returns Stop _, the final result is computed by finish.

Example:

type maybe_negative =
  | Found_negative of int
  | All_nonnegative of { sum : int }

(** [first_neg_or_sum list] returns the first negative number in [list], if any,
    otherwise returns the sum of the list. *)
let first_neg_or_sum =
  List.fold_until ~init:0
    ~f:(fun sum x ->
      if x < 0
      then Stop (Found_negative x)
      else Continue (sum + x))
    ~finish:(fun sum -> All_nonnegative { sum })
;;

let x = first_neg_or_sum [1; 2; 3; 4; 5]
val x : maybe_negative = All_nonnegative {sum = 15}

let y = first_neg_or_sum [1; 2; -3; 4; 5]
val y : maybe_negative = Found_negative -3
val exists : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> bool

Returns true if and only if there exists an element for which the provided function evaluates to true. This is a short-circuiting operation.

val for_all : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> bool

Returns true if and only if the provided function evaluates to true for all elements. This is a short-circuiting operation.

val count : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> int

Returns the number of elements for which the provided function evaluates to true.

val sum : (module Base.Container.Summable with type t = 'sum) -> 'a t -> f:('a -> 'sum) -> 'sum

Returns the sum of f i for all i in the container.

val find : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> 'a option

Returns as an option the first element for which f evaluates to true.

val find_map : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b option) -> 'b option

Returns the first evaluation of f that returns Some, and returns None if there is no such element.

val to_list : 'a t -> 'a list
val to_array : 'a t -> 'a array
val min_elt : 'a t -> compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a option

Returns a minimum (resp maximum) element from the collection using the provided compare function, or None if the collection is empty. In case of a tie, the first element encountered while traversing the collection is returned. The implementation uses fold so it has the same complexity as fold.

val max_elt : 'a t -> compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a option

These are all like their equivalents in Container except that an index starting at 0 is added as the first argument to f.

val min_elt' : 'a t -> compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a

min_elt' and max_elt' differ from min_elt and max_elt (included in Container.S1) in that they don't return options.

val map_add_multi : ('k, 'v t, 'cmp) Core.Map.t -> key:'k -> data:'v -> ('k, 'v t, 'cmp) Core.Map.t

val map_of_alist_multi : ('k * 'v) list -> comparator:('k, 'cmp) Core.Comparator.Module.t -> ('k, 'v t, 'cmp) Core.Map.t

Like Or_error.combine_errors_unit but for non-empty lists

val validate_indexed : 'a Core.Validate.check -> 'a t Core.Validate.check

validates a list, naming each element by its position in the list (where the first position is 1, not 0).

val validate : name:('a -> string) -> 'a Core.Validate.check -> 'a t Core.Validate.check

validates a list, naming each element using a user-defined function for computing the name.

Returns a flag that must be passed one or more times. See Command.Param.one_or_more_as_pair.

val comma_separated_argtype : ?key:'a t Core.Univ_map.Multi.Key.t -> ?strip_whitespace:bool -> ?unique_values:bool -> 'a Core.Command.Param.Arg_type.t -> 'a t Core.Command.Param.Arg_type.t
