Module Unix.Open_flags

type t

Open_flags.t represents the flags associated with a file descriptor in the open-file-descriptor table. It deals with the same thing as OCaml's open_flag type; however, it uses Core's Flags approach and the underlying integer bitmask representation, and so interoperates more smoothly with C.

val sexp_of_t : t -> Ppx_sexp_conv_lib.Sexp.t
include Flags.S with type t := t
include Ppx_sexp_conv_lib.Sexpable.S with type t := t
val t_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> t
val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t

val (>=) : t -> t -> bool
val (<=) : t -> t -> bool
val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

set union, bitwise or

val (-) : t -> t -> t

set difference. Although we use operators + and -, they do not satisfy the usual arithmetic equations, e.g. x - y = x + (empty - y) does not hold.

val intersect : t -> t -> t

bitwise and

val complement : t -> t

bitwise not

val is_empty : t -> bool
val do_intersect : t -> t -> bool
val are_disjoint : t -> t -> bool
val is_subset : t -> of_:t -> bool

is_subset t ~of_ is t = intersect t of_

val rdonly : t

access mode.

These three flags are not individual bits like flags usually are. The access mode is represented by the lower two bits of the Open_flags.t. A particular Open_flags.t should include exactly one access mode. Combining different Open_flags.t's using flags operations (e.g +) is only sensible if they have the same access mode.

creation

val excl : t
val noctty : t
val trunc : t
val append : t
val nonblock : t
val dsync : t
val sync : t
val rsync : t
val can_read : t -> bool

can_read t iff t has rdonly or rdwr

val can_write : t -> bool

can_read t iff t has wronly or rdwr
