package picos

Basic IO facilities based on OCaml standard libraries for Picos.

Modules

Examples

First we open some modules for convenience:

open Picos_structured.Finally
open Picos_structured
open Picos_stdio

A pair of pipes

Here is a simple example of two fibers communicating through a pair of pipes:

# Picos_fifos.run @@ fun () ->

  let@ msg_i, msg_o =
    finally Unix.close_pair @@ fun () ->
    Unix.socketpair ~cloexec:true
      PF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM 0
  in
  let@ syn_i, syn_o =
    finally Unix.close_pair @@ fun () ->
    Unix.socketpair ~cloexec:true
      PF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM 0
  in

  Unix.set_nonblock msg_i;
  Unix.set_nonblock msg_o;
  Unix.set_nonblock syn_i;
  Unix.set_nonblock syn_o;

  Bundle.join_after begin fun bundle ->
    Bundle.fork bundle begin fun () ->
      let bytes = Bytes.create 100 in
      while true do
        let n =
          Unix.read msg_i bytes 0 100
        in
        if n > 0 then begin
          Printf.printf "%s\n%!"
            (Bytes.sub_string bytes 0 n);
          let w =
            Unix.write_substring
              syn_o "!" 0 1
          in
          assert (w = 1)
        end
      done
    end;

    let send_string s =
      let n = String.length s in
      let w =
        Unix.write_substring msg_o s 0 n
      in
      assert (w = n);
      let r =
        Unix.read syn_i
          (Bytes.create 1) 0 1
      in
      assert (r = 1)
    in

    send_string "Hello, world!";
    send_string "POSIX with OCaml";

    Bundle.terminate bundle
  end
Hello, world!
