Module Lwt_bytes
module Lwt_bytes : sig..end
Byte arrays
type t =
(char, Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, Bigarray.c_layout)
Bigarray.Array1.t
Type of array of bytes.
val create : int -> t
Creates a new byte array of the given size.
val length : t -> int
Returns the length of the given byte array.
Access ¶
val get : t -> int -> char
get buffer offset returns the byte at offset offset in buffer.
val set : t -> int -> char -> unit
get buffer offset value changes the value of the byte at offset offset in buffer to value.
val unsafe_get : t -> int -> char
Same as Lwt_bytes.get but without bounds checking.
val unsafe_set : t -> int -> char -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.set but without bounds checking.
Conversions ¶
val of_bytes : bytes -> t
of_bytes buf returns a newly allocated byte array with the same contents as buf.
val of_string : string -> t
of_string buf returns a newly allocated byte array with the same contents as buf.
val to_bytes : t -> bytes
to_bytes buf returns newly allocated bytes with the same contents as buf.
val to_string : t -> string
to_string buf returns a newly allocated string with the same contents as buf.
Copying ¶
val blit : t -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit
blit buf1 ofs1 buf2 ofs2 len copies len bytes from buf1 starting at offset ofs1 to buf2 starting at offset ofs2.
val blit_from_bytes : bytes -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.blit but the first buffer is a string instead of a byte array.
val blit_to_bytes : t -> int -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.blit but the second buffer is a string instead of a byte array.
val unsafe_blit : t -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.blit but without bound checking.
val unsafe_blit_from_bytes : bytes -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.blit_from_bytes but without bounds checking.
val unsafe_blit_to_bytes : t -> int -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.blit_to_bytes but without bounds checking.
val proxy : t -> int -> int -> t
proxy buffer offset length creates a ``proxy''. The returned byte array share the data of buffer but with different bounds.
val extract : t -> int -> int -> t
extract buffer offset length creates a new byte array of length length and copy the length bytes of buffer at offset into it.
val copy : t -> t
copy buffer creates a copy of the given byte array.
Filling ¶
val fill : t -> int -> int -> char -> unit
fill buffer offset length value puts value in all length bytes of buffer starting at offset offset.
val unsafe_fill : t -> int -> int -> char -> unit
Same as Lwt_bytes.fill but without bounds checking.
IOs ¶
The following functions behave similarly to the ones in Lwt_unix, except they use byte arrays instead of strings, and they never perform extra copies of the data.
val read : Lwt_unix.file_descr -> t -> int -> int -> int Lwt.t
val write : Lwt_unix.file_descr -> t -> int -> int -> int Lwt.t
val recv :
Lwt_unix.file_descr ->
t -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> int Lwt.t
Not implemented on Windows.
val send :
Lwt_unix.file_descr ->
t -> int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> int Lwt.t
Not implemented on Windows.
val recvfrom :
Lwt_unix.file_descr ->
t ->
int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> (int * Unix.sockaddr) Lwt.t
Not implemented on Windows.
val sendto :
Lwt_unix.file_descr ->
t ->
int -> int -> Unix.msg_flag list -> Unix.sockaddr -> int Lwt.t
Not implemented on Windows.
type io_vector = { iov_buffer: t; iov_offset: int; iov_length: int;}
val io_vector : buffer:t -> offset:int -> length:int -> io_vector
val recv_msg :
socket:Lwt_unix.file_descr ->
io_vectors:io_vector list ->
(int * Unix.file_descr list) Lwt.t
Deprecated.Use Lwt_unix.Versioned.recv_msg_2. Not implemented on Windows.
val send_msg :
socket:Lwt_unix.file_descr ->
io_vectors:io_vector list ->
fds:Unix.file_descr list -> int Lwt.t
Deprecated.Use Lwt_unix.Versioned.send_msg_2. Not implemented on Windows.
Memory mapped files ¶
val map_file :
fd:Unix.file_descr ->
?pos:int64 -> shared:bool -> ?size:int -> unit -> t
map_file ~fd ?pos ~shared ?size () maps the file descriptor fd to an array of bytes.
val mapped : t -> bool
mapped buffer returns true iff buffer is a memory mapped file.
type advice = | MADV_NORMAL | MADV_RANDOM | MADV_SEQUENTIAL | MADV_WILLNEED | MADV_DONTNEED | MADV_MERGEABLE | MADV_UNMERGEABLE | MADV_HUGEPAGE | MADV_NOHUGEPAGE
Type of advise that can be sent to the kernel by the program. See the manual madvise(2) for a description of each.
val madvise : t -> int -> int -> advice -> unit
madvise buffer pos len advice advises the kernel how the program will use the memory mapped file between pos and pos + len.
This call is not available on windows.
val page_size : int
Size of pages.
val mincore : t -> int -> bool array -> unit
mincore buffer offset states tests whether the given pages are in the system memory (the RAM). The offset argument must be a multiple of Lwt_bytes.page_size. states is used to store the result; each cases is true if the corresponding page is in RAM and false otherwise.
This call is not available on windows and cygwin.
val wait_mincore : t -> int -> unit Lwt.t
wait_mincore buffer offset waits until the page containing the byte at offset offset is in RAM.
This functions is not available on windows and cygwin.
