val unsafe_all_pread : Unix.file_descr -> int -> ('a, 'b) ExtUnixAll.carray -> int

all_pread fd off buf reads up to size of buf bytes from file descriptor fd at offset off (from the start of the file) into the buffer buf. The file offset is not changed.

all_pread repeats the read operation until all characters have been read or an error occurs. Returns less than the number of characters requested on EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK or End-of-file but only ever returns 0 on End-of-file. Continues the read operation on EINTR. Raises an Unix.Unix_error exception in all other cases.

val all_pread : Unix.file_descr -> int -> ('a, 'b) ExtUnixAll.carray -> int

val unsafe_single_pread : Unix.file_descr -> int -> ('a, 'b) ExtUnixAll.carray -> int

single_pread fd off buf reads up to size of buf bytes from file descriptor fd at offset off (from the start of the file) into the buffer buf. The file offset is not changed.

single_pread attempts to read only once. Returns the number of characters read or raises an Unix.Unix_error exception. Unlike the string variant of the same name there is no limit on the number of characters read.

val unsafe_get_substr : 'a ExtUnixAll.carray8 -> int -> int -> string

unsafe_get_substr buf off len extracts the substring from buffer buf starting at offset off and length len. Bounds checking is not performed. Use with caution and only when the program logic guarantees that the access is within bounds.

val get_substr : 'a ExtUnixAll.carray8 -> int -> int -> string

get_substr buf off len same as unsafe_get_substr but with bounds checking.

val unsafe_set_substr : 'a ExtUnixAll.carray8 -> int -> string -> unit

unsafe_set_substr buf off str stores the string in buffer buf starting at offset off. Bounds checking is not performed. Use with caution and only when the program logic guarantees that the access is within bounds.

val set_substr : 'a ExtUnixAll.carray8 -> int -> string -> unit

set_substr buf off str same as unsafe_set_substr but with bounds checking.

type 'a iov = {

I/O vector. Used to send multiple data using a single system call

val vmsplice : Unix.file_descr ->
       'a iov array -> ExtUnixAll.splice_flag list -> int

vmsplice fd iovs flags sends the data described by iovs to the pipe fd
