awskit-unix

Unix-specific helpers for Awskit applications.

The public entrypoint is Awskit_unix. This package owns local platform behavior such as environment variables, shared AWS profile files, and wall-clock access. It does not perform HTTP calls.

Use this package when an application wants Unix credential or region sources while keeping the runtime-neutral Awskit core free of platform dependencies.

Public Modules

  • Awskit_unix.Clock reads the OS wall clock for signing and explicit runtime construction.
  • Awskit_unix.Credentials loads static credentials from AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, optional AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, and shared AWS profile files.
  • Awskit_unix.Region reads AWS_REGION and then AWS_DEFAULT_REGION.

The credential helpers intentionally stop at local static sources. Networked ECS/container metadata and EC2 instance metadata providers live in awskit-lwt-unix, where the Lwt Unix runtime owns the HTTP client and refresh lifecycle.
