Bindings to Unix system calls.
val pread :
fd:Unix.file_descr ->
fd_offset:int64 ->
buffer:bytes ->
buffer_offset:int ->
length:int ->
int
Reads up to length
bytes from fd
(starting at position fd_offset
) into buffer
(starting at position buffer_offset
). Returns the number of bytes actually read. fd
's cursor position is unchanged.
val pwrite :
fd:Unix.file_descr ->
fd_offset:int64 ->
buffer:bytes ->
buffer_offset:int ->
length:int ->
int
Writes up to length
bytes from buffer
(starting at position buffer_offset
) to the file descriptor fd
(starting at position fd_offset
). Returns the number of bytes actually written. fd
's cursor position is unchanged.
Flushes all modified buffer cache pages for a given file descriptor to the disk device, so that all changed information can be retrieved even if the system crashes or is rebooted. This includes writing through or flushing a disk cache if present. Blocks until the device reports that the transfer has completed.
