(** Cooperative system calls *)
(** This modules maps system calls, like those of the standard
library's [Unix] module, to cooperative ones, which will not block
the program.
The semantics of all operations is the following: if the action
(for example reading from a {b file descriptor}) can be performed
immediately, it is done and returns immediately, otherwise it
returns a sleeping thread which is woken up when the operation
completes.
Most operations on sockets and pipes (on Windows it is only
sockets) are {b cancelable}, meaning you can cancel them
with {!Lwt.cancel}. For example if you want to read something from
a {b file descriptor} with a timeout, you can cancel the action
after the timeout and the reading will not be performed if not
already done.
For example, consider that you have two sockets [sock1] and
[sock2]. You want to read something from [sock1] or exclusively
from [sock2] and fail with an exception if a timeout of 1 second
expires, without reading anything from [sock1] and [sock2], even
if they become readable in the future.
Then you can do:
{[
Lwt.pick
[Lwt_unix.timeout 1.0;
read sock1 buf1 ofs1 len1;
read sock2 buf2 ofs2 len2]
]}
In this case, it is guaranteed that exactly one of the three
operations will complete, and the others will be cancelled.

val handle_unix_error : ('a -> 'b Lwt.t) -> 'a -> 'b Lwt.t
(** Same as [Unix.handle_unix_error] but catches lwt-level
exceptions *)
(** {2 Configuration} *)
(** For system calls that cannot be made asynchronously, Lwt uses one
of the following method: *)
type async_method =
| Async_none
(** System calls are made synchronously, and may block the
entire program. *)
| Async_detach
(** System calls are made in another system thread, thus without
blocking other Lwt threads. The drawback is that it may
degrade performance in some cases.
This is the default. *)
| Async_switch
(** System calls are made in the main thread, and if one blocks
the execution continue in another system thread. This method
is the most efficient, also you will get better performance
if you force all threads to run on the same cpu. On linux
this can be done by using the command [taskset].
Note that this method is still experimental. *)
val default_async_method : unit -> async_method
(** Returns the default async method.
This can be initialized using the environment variable
["LWT_ASYNC_METHOD"] with possible values ["none"],
["detach"] and ["switch"]. *)
val set_default_async_method : async_method -> unit
(** Sets the default async method. *)
val async_method : unit -> async_method
(** [async_method ()] returns the async method used in the current
thread. *)

(** The key for storing the local async method. *)
val with_async_none : (unit -> 'a) -> 'a

{[
Lwt.with_value async_method_key (Some Async_none) f
]}

(** [with_async_detach f] is a shorthand for:

(** [sleep d] is a thread that remains suspended for [d] seconds
and then terminates. *)

(** [yield ()] is a thread that suspends itself and then resumes
as soon as possible and terminates. *)
val auto_yield : float -> (unit -> unit Lwt.t)
(** [auto_yield timeout] returns a function [f] that will yield
every [timeout] seconds. *)
exception Timeout
(** Exception raised by timeout operations *)
val timeout : float -> 'a Lwt.t
(** [timeout d] is a thread that remains suspended for [d] seconds
and then fails with {!Timeout}. *)
val with_timeout : float -> (unit -> 'a Lwt.t) -> 'a Lwt.t
(** [with_timeout d f] is a short-hand for:
{[
Lwt.pick [Lwt_unix.timeout d; f ()]
]}
*)
(** {2 Operation on file-descriptors} *)
type file_descr
(** The abstract type for {b file descriptor}s. A Lwt {b file
descriptor} is a pair of a unix {b file descriptor} (of type
[Unix.file_descr]) and a {b state}.
A {b file descriptor} may be:
- {b opened}, in which case it is fully usable
- {b closed} or {b aborted}, in which case it is no longer
usable *)
(** State of a {b file descriptor} *)
type state =
| Opened
(** The {b file descriptor} is opened *)
| Closed
(** The {b file descriptor} has been closed by {!close}. It must
not be used for any operation. *)
| Aborted of exn
(** The {b file descriptor} has been aborted, the only operation
possible is {!close}, all others will fail. *)
val state : file_descr -> state
(** [state fd] returns the state of [fd] *)
val unix_file_descr : file_descr -> Unix.file_descr
(** Returns the underlying unix {b file descriptor}. It always
succeeds, even if the {b file descriptor}'s state is not
{!Open}. *)
val of_unix_file_descr : ?blocking : bool -> ?set_flags : bool -> Unix.file_descr -> file_descr
(** Wraps a [Unix] file descriptor [fd] in an [Lwt_unix.file_descr] [fd'].
[~blocking] controls the {e internal} strategy Lwt uses to perform I/O on
the underlying [fd]. Regardless of [~blocking], at the API level,
[Lwt_unix.read], [Lwt_unix.write], etc. on [fd'] {e always} block the Lwt
thread, but {e never} block the whole process. However, for performance
reasons, it is important that [~blocking] match the actual blocking mode of
[fd].
If [~blocking] is not specified, [of_unix_file_descr] chooses non-blocking
mode for Unix sockets, Unix pipes, and Windows sockets, and blocking mode
for everything else.
[of_unix_file_descr] runs a system call to set the specified or chosen
blocking mode on the underlying [fd].
To prevent [of_unix_file_descr] from running this system call, you can pass
[~set_flags:false]. Note that, in this case, if [~blocking], whether passed
explicitly or chosen by Lwt, does not match the true blocking mode of the
underlying [fd], I/O on [fd'] will suffer performance degradation.
Note that [~set_flags] is effectively always [false] if running on Windows
and [fd] is not a socket.
Generally, non-blocking I/O is faster: for blocking I/O, Lwt typically has
to run system calls in worker threads to avoid blocking the process. See
your system documentation for whether particular kinds of file descriptors
support non-blocking I/O. *)
val blocking : file_descr -> bool Lwt.t

non-blocking I/O with [fd].

See {!of_unix_file_descr} for details. *)
val set_blocking : ?set_flags : bool -> file_descr -> bool -> unit
(** [set_blocking fd b] causes Lwt to internally use blocking or non-blocking
I/O with [fd], according to the value of [b].
If [~set_flags] is [true] (the default), Lwt also makes a system call to set
the underlying file descriptor's blocking mode to match. Otherwise,
[set_blocking] is only informational for Lwt.
It is important that the underlying file descriptor actually have the same
blocking mode as that indicated by [b].

Note that the returned Lwt thread is blocked until failure or a successful
