Class type
This module define flow-related devices for MirageOS, using lwt for I/O.
Release v4.0.0
module type CONCRETE =
Mirage_flow.S
with type error = [ `Msg of string ]
and type write_error = [ Mirage_flow.write_error | `Msg of string ]
CONCRETE
expose the private row as `Msg str
errors, using pp_error
and pp_write_error
.
Functor to transform a flow signature using private rows for errors into concrete error types.
module Copy
(Clock : Mirage_clock.MCLOCK)
(A : Mirage_flow.S)
(B : Mirage_flow.S) :
sig ... end
module Proxy
(Clock : Mirage_clock.MCLOCK)
(A : Mirage_flow.S)
(B : Mirage_flow.S) :
sig ... end
module F : sig ... end
In-memory, function-based flows.
include Mirage_flow.S with type flow = t
The type for write errors.
val pp_write_error : write_error Fmt.t
pp_write_error
is the pretty-printer for write errors.
type flow = t
The type for flows. A flow represents the state of a single reliable stream that is connected to an endpoint.
read flow
blocks until some data is available and returns a fresh buffer containing it.
The returned buffer will be of a size convenient to the flow implementation, but will always have at least 1 byte.
If the remote endpoint calls close
then calls to read
will keep returning data until all the in-flight data has been read. read flow
will return `Eof
when the remote endpoint has called close
and when there is no more in-flight data.
val write : flow -> Cstruct.t -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t
write flow buffer
writes a buffer to the flow. There is no indication when the buffer has actually been read and, therefore, it must not be reused. The contents may be transmitted in separate packets, depending on the underlying transport. The result Ok ()
indicates success, Error `Closed
indicates that the connection is now closed and therefore the data could not be written. Other errors are possible.
val writev : flow -> Cstruct.t list -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t
writev flow buffers
writes a sequence of buffers to the flow. There is no indication when the buffers have actually been read and, therefore, they must not be reused. The result Ok ()
indicates success, Error `Closed
indicates that the connection is now closed and therefore the data could not be written. Other errors are possible.
shutdown flow mode
shuts down the flow
for the specific mode
: A flow which is shutdown `read
(or `read_write
will never be read
again (future calls will return `Eof
); a flow which is shutdown `write
(or `read_write
) flushes all pending writes and signals the remote endpoint there won't be any future write
. In TCP, a FIN is sent.
val create : (module Mirage_flow.S with type flow = 'a) -> 'a -> string -> t
create (module M) t name
is the flow representing t
using the function defined in M
.
forward ?verbose ~src ~dst ()
forwards writes from src
to dst
. Block until either src
or dst
is closed. If verbose
is set (by default it is not), show the full flow contents in the debug messages.
