Module Core_unix.Open_flags

type t

Open_flags.t represents the file access mode and file status flags flags associated with a file description, as set by openfile and fcntl_setfl, and retrieved by fcntl_getfl.

Since this type is not actually used by openfile, many of the flags here are meaningless. creat, excl, trunc, noctty only make sense at opening time, and can't be retrieved or configured with fcntl.

We deliberately omit cloexec because cloexec actually isn't reported by fcntl_getfl.

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

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.

bitwise and

bitwise not

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.
