Simple utilities to deal with basic Input/Output tasks in a resource-safe way. For advanced IO tasks, the user is advised to use something like Lwt or Async, that are far more comprehensive.
Examples:
# let l = CCIO.(with_in "/tmp/some_file" read_lines);;# CCIO.(
with_in "/tmp/input"
(fun ic ->
let chunks = read_chunks ic in
with_out ~flags:[Open_binary] ~mode:0o644 "/tmp/output"
(fun oc ->
write_gen oc chunks
)
)
) ;;val with_in :
?mode:int ->
?flags:open_flag list ->
string ->
(in_channel -> 'a) ->
'aOpen an input file with the given optional flag list, calls the function on the input channel. When the function raises or returns, the channel is closed.
val read_chunks : ?size:int -> in_channel -> string genRead the channel's content into chunks of size size
val read_line : in_channel -> string optionRead a line from the channel. Returns None if the input is terminated. The "\n" is removed from the line.
val read_lines : in_channel -> string genRead all lines. The generator should be traversed only once.
val read_lines_l : in_channel -> string listRead all lines into a list
val read_all : ?size:int -> in_channel -> stringRead the whole channel into a buffer, then converted into a string.
val read_all_bytes : ?size:int -> in_channel -> Bytes.tRead the whole channel into a mutable byte array
val with_out :
?mode:int ->
?flags:open_flag list ->
string ->
(out_channel -> 'a) ->
'aSame as with_in but for an output channel
val with_out_a :
?mode:int ->
?flags:open_flag list ->
string ->
(out_channel -> 'a) ->
'aSimilar to with_out but with the [Open_append; Open_creat; Open_wronly] flags activated, to append to the file.
val write_line : out_channel -> string -> unitWrite the given string on the channel, followed by "\n"
val write_gen : ?sep:string -> out_channel -> string gen -> unitWrite the given strings on the output. If provided, add sep between every two strings (but not at the end)
val write_lines : out_channel -> string gen -> unitWrite every string on the output, followed by "\n".
val write_lines_l : out_channel -> string list -> unitval with_in_out :
?mode:int ->
?flags:open_flag list ->
string ->
(in_channel -> out_channel -> 'a) ->
'atee funs gen behaves like gen, but each element is given to every function f in funs at the time the element is produced.
How to list recursively files in a directory:
# let files = CCIO.File.read_dir ~recurse:true (CCIO.File.make "/tmp");;
# CCIO.write_lines stdout files;;See File.walk if you also need to list directories:
# let content = CCIO.File.walk (CCIO.File.make "/tmp");;
# Gen.map CCIO.File.show_walk_item content |> CCIO.write_lines stdout;;module File : sig ... end
