package mirage-block
Operations on sector-addressible block devices, usually used for persistent storage.
The type for block errors.
The type for write errors.
val pp_write_error : write_error Fmt.tpp_write_error is the pretty-printer for write errors.
include Mirage_device.S
read device sector_start buffers reads data starting at sector_start from the block device into buffers. Ok () means the buffers have been filled. Error _ indicates an I/O error has happened and some of the buffers may not be filled. Each of elements in the list buffers must be a whole number of sectors in length. The list of buffers can be of any length.
val write : t -> int64 -> Cstruct.t list -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.twrite device sector_start buffers writes data from buffers onto the block device starting at sector_start. Ok () means the contents of the buffers have been written. Error _ indicates a partial failure in which some of the writes may not have happened.
Once submitted, it is not possible to cancel a request and there is no timeout.
The operation may fail with:
`Unimplemented: the operation has not been implemented, no data has been written.`Is_read_only: the device is read-only, no data has been written.`Disconnected: the device has been disconnected at application request, an unknown amount of data has been written.
Each of buffers must be a whole number of sectors in length. The list of buffers can be of any length.
The data will not be copied, so the supplied buffers must not be re-used until the IO operation completes.
