Module OpamSystemSource

Bindings of lots of filesystem and system operations

Sourceexception Process_error of OpamProcess.result

Exception raised when subprocess fails

Sourceexception Command_not_found of string
Sourceval process_error : OpamProcess.result -> 'a

raise Process_error

Sourceval raise_on_process_error : OpamProcess.result -> unit

raise Process_error if the process didn't return 0

Sourceexception Internal_error of string

Exception raised when a computation in the current process fails.

Sourceval internal_error : ('a, unit, string, 'b) format4 -> 'a

Raise Internal_error

Sourceval with_tmp_dir : (string -> 'a) -> 'a

with_tmp_dir fn executes fn in a tempory directory

Sourceval with_tmp_dir_job : (string -> 'a OpamProcess.job) -> 'a OpamProcess.job

Runs a job with a temp dir that is cleaned up afterwards

Sourceval verbose_for_base_commands : unit -> bool

Returns true if the default verbose level for base commands (cp, mv, etc.) is reached

Sourceval mk_temp_dir : ?prefix:string -> unit -> string

Returns a directory name, in the temporary directory, composed by opam (if prefix is not set), pid, and random number.

Sourceval copy_file : string -> string -> unit

copy_file src dst copies src to dst. Remove dst before the copy if it is a link.

Sourceval copy_dir : string -> string -> unit

copy_dir src dst copies the contents of directory src into directory dst, creating it if necessary, merging directory contents and ovewriting files otherwise

Sourceval mv : string -> string -> unit
Sourceval install : ?exec:bool -> string -> string -> unit

install ?exec src dst copies file src as file dst using install. If exec, make the resulting file executable (otherwise, look at the permissions of the original file to decide).

Sourceval is_exec : string -> bool

Checks if a file is an executable (regular file with execution permission)

Sourceval file_is_empty : string -> bool

link src dst links src to dst. Remove dst if it is a file, not a directory.

Sourceval real_path : string -> string

real_path p returns the real path associated to p: .. are expanded and relative paths become absolute.

Sourceval string_of_channel : in_channel -> string

Return the contents of a channel.

Sourceexception File_not_found of string

Raised when a file or directory can't be accessed (doesn't exist, bad permissions, etc.)

Sourceval read : string -> string

read filename returns the contents of filename (while taking an advisory read lock to prevent concurrent writes)

Sourceval write : string -> string -> unit

write filename contents write contents to filename (while taking an advisory write lock to prevent concurrent reads or writes)

Sourceval remove : string -> unit

remove filename removes filename. Works whether filename is a file or a directory

Sourceval remove_file : string -> unit

remove_file filename removes filename. Works only for normal files (or also at least for symlinks)

Sourceval remove_dir : string -> unit

remove_dir filename removes filename. Works only for directory (not for symlinks or other files).

Sourceval chdir : string -> unit

Change the current working directory

Sourceval in_dir : string -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a

in_dir dir fn evaluates fn in the directory dir

Sourceval ls : string -> string list

Returns the list of files and directories in the given directory (full names)

files_with_links dir returns the files in the directory dir. Links simulating directory are ignored, others links are returned.

Sourceval rec_files : string -> string list

rec_files dir returns the list of all files in dir, recursively. Links behaving like directory are crossed.

Sourceval files : string -> string list

Return the list of files in the current directory.

Sourceval rec_dirs : string -> string list

rec_dirs dir return the list list of all directories recursively (going through symbolink links).

Sourceval dirs : string -> string list

Return the list of directories in the current directory.

Sourceval dir_is_empty : string -> bool

directories_with_links dir returns the directories in the directory dir. Links pointing to directory are also returned.

Sourceval make_command : ?verbose:bool -> ?env:string array -> ?name:string -> ?text:string -> ?metadata:(string * string) list -> ?allow_stdin:bool -> ?stdout:string -> ?dir:string -> ?resolve_path:bool -> string -> string list -> OpamProcess.command

Make a comman suitable for OpamProcess.Job. if verbose, is set, command and output will be displayed (at command end for the latter, if concurrent commands are running). name is used for naming log files. text is what is displayed in the status line for this command. May raise Command_not_found, unless resolve_path is set to false (in which case you can end up with a process error instead)

OLD COMMAND API, DEPRECATED

Sourcetype command = string list

a command is a list of words

Sourceval resolve_command : ?env:string array -> ?dir:string -> string -> string option

Test whether a command exists in the environment, and returns it (resolved if found in PATH)

Sourceval command : ?verbose:bool -> ?env:string array -> ?name:string -> ?metadata:(string * string) list -> ?allow_stdin:bool -> command -> unit

command cmd executes the command cmd in the correct OPAM environment.

Sourceval commands : ?verbose:bool -> ?env:string array -> ?name:string -> ?metadata:(string * string) list -> ?keep_going:bool -> command list -> unit

commands cmds executes the commands cmds in the correct OPAM environment. It stops whenever one command fails unless keep_going is set to true. In this case, the first error is re-raised at the end.

Sourceval read_command_output : ?verbose:bool -> ?env:string array -> ?metadata:(string * string) list -> ?allow_stdin:bool -> command -> string list

read_command_output cmd executes the command cmd in the correct OPAM environment and return the lines from stdout if the command exists normally. If the command does not exist or if the command exited with a non-empty exit-code, throw an error.

END

Sourceval is_archive : string -> bool

Test whether the file is an archive, by looking as its extension

Sourceval extract : dir:string -> string -> unit

extract ~dir:dirname filename extracts the archive filename into dirname. dirname should not exists and filename should contain only one top-level directory.

Sourceval extract_job : dir:string -> string -> exn option OpamProcess.job

Same as extract, but as an OpamProcess.job

Sourceval extract_in : dir:string -> string -> unit

extract_in ~dir:dirname filename extracts the archive filename into dirname.

Sourceval extract_in_job : dir:string -> string -> exn option OpamProcess.job

extract_in_job is similar to extract_in, but as a job

Sourceval mkdir : string -> unit

Create a directory. Do not fail if the directory already exist.

Sourceval cpu_count : unit -> int

Get the number of active processors on the system

File locking function

Sourcetype lock

Unix file locks (mutable structure, to follow actual semantics)

Sourcetype actual_lock_flag = [
  1. | `Lock_read
  2. | `Lock_write
]

The different kinds of unix advisory locks available (`Lock_none doesn't actually lock anything, or even create the lock file)

Sourcetype lock_flag = [
  1. | `Lock_none
  2. | actual_lock_flag
]
Sourceval lock_none : lock

Dummy lock

Sourceexception Locked

Raised when locks can't be acquired and dontblock was specified)

Sourceval release_all_locks : unit -> unit

Force releases all open locks in the process. Required for Windows if an exception has been raised, since Windows doesn't permit unlinking while handles are open.

Sourceval flock : [< lock_flag ] -> ?dontblock:bool -> string -> lock

Acquires a lock on the given file. Raises Locked if the lock can't be acquired and dontblock is set. Raises OpamStd.Sys.Exit if safe_mode is set and a write lock is required. Also raises Unix errors if the lock file can't be opened.

Sourceval flock_update : [< lock_flag ] -> ?dontblock:bool -> lock -> unit

Updates an existing lock to the given level. Raises the same exceptions as flock.

Sourceval funlock : lock -> unit

Releases an acquired lock (equivalent to flock_update `Lock_none)

Sourceval lock_max : lock_flag -> lock_flag -> lock_flag

Returns the highest of the two lock flags (with the order no lock < read lock < write lock)

Sourceval lock_isatleast : [< lock_flag ] -> lock -> bool

Returns true if the lock already has the lock_flag rights or more

Sourceval get_lock_flag : lock -> lock_flag

Returns the current kind of the lock

Sourceval get_lock_fd : lock -> Unix.file_descr

Returns the underlying fd for the lock or raises Not_found for `No_lock

Misc

Sourceval patch : ?preprocess:bool -> dir:string -> string -> exn option OpamProcess.job

Apply a patch file in the current directory. If preprocess is set to false, there is no CRLF translation. Returns the error if the patch didn't apply.

Sourceval temp_file : ?auto_clean:bool -> ?dir:string -> string -> string

Create a temporary file in ~/.opam/logs/<name>XXX, if dir is not set. ?auto_clean controls whether the file is automatically deleted when opam terminates (default: true).

Sourceval print_stats : unit -> unit

Print stats

Sourceval register_printer : unit -> unit

Registers an exception printer that adds some OPAM version info, and details on process and Unix errors

Sourceval init : unit -> unit

Initialises signal handlers, catch_break and some exception printers. The lib may not perform properly without this if Sys.catch_break isn't set and SIGPIPE isn't handled (with a no-op)

Sourceval forward_to_back : string -> string

On Unix, a no-op. On Windows, convert / to \

Sourceval back_to_forward : string -> string

On Unix, a no-op. On Windows, convert \ to /
