History management
val create : ?max_size:int -> ?max_entries:int -> Zed_string.t list -> tcreate ?max_size ?max_lines init creates a new history.
max_size is the maximum size in bytes of the history. Oldest entries are dropped if this limit is reached. The default is max_int.
max_entries is the maximum number of entries of the history. Oldest entries are dropped if this limit is reached. The default is no max_int.
init is the initial contents of the history. All entries of init are considered "old". Old entries are not saved by save when append is set to true.
Note: the first element of init must be the most recent entry.
val add : t -> ?skip_empty:bool -> ?skip_dup:bool -> Zed_string.t -> unitadd history ?skip_empty ?skip_dup entry adds entry to the top of the history. If skip_empty is true (the default) and entry contains only spaces, it is not added. If skip_dup is true (the default) and entry is equal to the top of the history, it is not added.
If entry is bigger than the maximum size of the history, the history is not modified.
val contents : t -> Zed_string.t listReturns all the entries of the history. The first element of the list is the most recent entry.
val size : t -> intReturns the size (in bytes) of the history.
val length : t -> intReturns the number of entries in the history.
val old_count : t -> intReturns the number of old entries in the history.
val set_old_count : t -> int -> unitset_old_count history count sets the number of old entries in the history.
val max_size : t -> intReturns the maximum size of the history.
val set_max_size : t -> int -> unitSets the maximum size of the history. It may drop oldest entries to honor the new limit.
val max_entries : t -> intReturns the maximum number of entries of the history.
val set_max_entries : t -> int -> unitSets the maximum number of entries of the history. It may drop oldest entries to honor the new limit.
val load :
t ->
?log:(int -> string -> unit Lwt.t) ->
?skip_empty:bool ->
?skip_dup:bool ->
string ->
unit Lwt.tload history ?log ?skip_empty ?skip_dup filename loads entries from filename to history. If filename does not exists history is not modified.
log is the function used to log errors contained in the history file (errors are because of non-UTF8 data). Arguments are a line number and an error message. The default is to use the default logger (of Lwt_log). Entries containing errors are skipped.
Note: all entries are marked as old, i.e. old_count history =
length history.
val save :
t ->
?max_size:int ->
?max_entries:int ->
?skip_empty:bool ->
?skip_dup:bool ->
?append:bool ->
?perm:int ->
string ->
unit Lwt.tsave history ?max_size ?max_entries ?skip_empty ?sjip_dup ?perm
filename saves history to filename.
If append is false then the file is truncated and new entries are saved. If it is true (the default) then new entries are added at the end. perm are the file permissions in case it is created.
If append is true and there is no new entries, the file is not touched. In any other case, limits are honored and the resulting file will never contains more bytes than max_size or more entries than max_entries. If max_size and/or max_entries are not specified, the ones of history are used.
After the history is successfully saved, all entries of history are marked as old, i.e. old_count history = length
history.
val entry_size : Zed_string.t -> intentry_size entry returns the size taken by an entry in the history file in bytes. This is not exactly String.length entry since some characters are escaped and the entry is terminated by a newline character.
