type 'a conv = t -> 'a option

A converter from S-expressions to 'a is a function sexp -> 'a option.

since 0.4.1

val map_opt : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b list option

Map over a list, failing as soon as the function fails on any element

since 0.4.1

val list_any : 'a conv -> t -> 'a option

list_any f (List l) tries f x for every element x in List l, and returns the first non-None result (if any).

val list_all : 'a conv -> t -> 'a list

list_all f (List l) returns the list of all y such that x in l and f x = Some y

val to_int : int conv

Expect an integer

val to_string : string conv

Expect a string (an atom)

val to_bool : bool conv

Expect a boolean

val to_float : float conv

Expect a float

val to_list : t list conv

Expect a list

val to_list_with : (t -> 'a option) -> 'a list conv

Expect a list, applies f to all the elements of the list, and succeeds only if f succeeded on every element

since 0.4.1

val to_pair : (t * t) conv

Expect a list of two elements

val to_pair_with : 'a conv -> 'b conv -> ('a * 'b) conv

Same as to_pair but applies conversion functions

since 0.4.1

val to_triple : (t * t * t) conv

val to_triple_with : 'a conv -> 'b conv -> 'c conv -> ('a * 'b * 'c) conv

val get_field : string -> t conv

get_field name e, when e = List [(n1,x1); (n2,x2) ... ], extracts the xi such that name = ni, if it can find it.

val field : string -> 'a conv -> 'a conv

Enriched version of get_field, with a converter as argument

val get_variant : (string * (t list -> 'a option)) list -> 'a conv

get_variant l e checks whether e = List (Atom s :: args), and if some pair of l is s, f. In this case, it calls f args and returns its result, otherwise it returns None.

val field_list : string -> (t list -> 'a option) -> 'a conv

field_list name f "(... (name a b c d) ...record)" will look for a field based on the given name, and expect it to have a list of arguments dealt with by f (here, "a b c d").

since 0.4.1

val (>>=) : 'a option -> ('a -> 'b option) -> 'b option

val (>|=) : 'a option -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b option

val return : 'a -> 'a option

val get_exn : 'a option -> 'a

Unwrap an option, possibly failing.

raises Invalid_argument
if the argument is None
