# Haskell representations of `errno` values

newtype Errno

Haskell representation for `errno` values. The implementation is deliberately exposed, to allow users to add their own definitions of `Errno` values.

Constructors

Errno CInt |

Instances

Eq Errno |

## Common `errno` symbols

Different operating systems and/or C libraries often support different values of `errno`. This module defines the common values, but due to the open definition of `Errno` users may add definitions which are not predefined.

## `Errno` functions

isValidErrno :: Errno -> Bool

Yield `True` if the given `Errno` value is valid on the system. This implies that the `Eq` instance of `Errno` is also system dependent as it is only defined for valid values of `Errno`.

getErrno :: IO Errno

Get the current value of `errno` in the current thread.

resetErrno :: IO ()

Reset the current thread's `errno` value to `eOK`.

errnoToIOError

Arguments

:: String | the location where the error occurred
-> Errno | the error number
-> Maybe Handle | optional handle associated with the error
-> Maybe String | optional filename associated with the error
-> IOError |

Construct an `IOError` based on the given `Errno` value. The optional information can be used to improve the accuracy of error messages.

throwErrno

Arguments

:: String | textual description of the error location
-> IO a |

Throw an `IOError` corresponding to the current value of `getErrno`.

## Guards for IO operations that may fail

throwErrnoIf

Arguments

:: (a -> Bool) | predicate to apply to the result value of the `IO` operation
-> String | textual description of the location
-> IO a | the `IO` operation to be executed
-> IO a |

Throw an `IOError` corresponding to the current value of `getErrno` if the result value of the `IO` action meets the given predicate.

throwErrnoIf_ :: (a -> Bool) -> String -> IO a -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIf`, but discards the result of the `IO` action after error handling.

throwErrnoIfRetry :: (a -> Bool) -> String -> IO a -> IO a

as `throwErrnoIf`, but retry the `IO` action when it yields the error code `eINTR` - this amounts to the standard retry loop for interrupted POSIX system calls.

throwErrnoIfRetry_ :: (a -> Bool) -> String -> IO a -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIfRetry`, but discards the result.

throwErrnoIfMinus1 :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> IO a -> IO a

Throw an `IOError` corresponding to the current value of `getErrno` if the `IO` action returns a result of `-1`.

throwErrnoIfMinus1_ :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> IO a -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIfMinus1`, but discards the result.

throwErrnoIfMinus1Retry :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> IO a -> IO a

Throw an `IOError` corresponding to the current value of `getErrno` if the `IO` action returns a result of `-1`, but retries in case of an interrupted operation.

throwErrnoIfMinus1Retry_ :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> IO a -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIfMinus1`, but discards the result.

throwErrnoIfNull :: String -> IO (Ptr a) -> IO (Ptr a)

Throw an `IOError` corresponding to the current value of `getErrno` if the `IO` action returns `nullPtr`.

throwErrnoIfNullRetry :: String -> IO (Ptr a) -> IO (Ptr a)

Throw an `IOError` corresponding to the current value of `getErrno` if the `IO` action returns `nullPtr`, but retry in case of an interrupted operation.

throwErrnoIfRetryMayBlock

Arguments

:: (a -> Bool) | predicate to apply to the result value of the `IO` operation
-> String | textual description of the location
-> IO a | the `IO` operation to be executed
-> IO b | action to execute before retrying if an immediate retry would block
-> IO a |

as `throwErrnoIfRetry`, but additionally if the operation yields the error code `eAGAIN` or `eWOULDBLOCK`, an alternative action is executed before retrying.

throwErrnoIfRetryMayBlock_ :: (a -> Bool) -> String -> IO a -> IO b -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIfRetryMayBlock`, but discards the result.

throwErrnoIfMinus1RetryMayBlock :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> IO a -> IO b -> IO a

as `throwErrnoIfMinus1Retry`, but checks for operations that would block.

throwErrnoIfMinus1RetryMayBlock_ :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> IO a -> IO b -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIfMinus1RetryMayBlock`, but discards the result.

throwErrnoIfNullRetryMayBlock :: String -> IO (Ptr a) -> IO b -> IO (Ptr a)

as `throwErrnoIfNullRetry`, but checks for operations that would block.

throwErrnoPath :: String -> FilePath -> IO a

as `throwErrno`, but exceptions include the given path when appropriate.

throwErrnoPathIf :: (a -> Bool) -> String -> FilePath -> IO a -> IO a

as `throwErrnoIf`, but exceptions include the given path when appropriate.

throwErrnoPathIf_ :: (a -> Bool) -> String -> FilePath -> IO a -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIf_`, but exceptions include the given path when appropriate.

throwErrnoPathIfNull :: String -> FilePath -> IO (Ptr a) -> IO (Ptr a)

as `throwErrnoIfNull`, but exceptions include the given path when appropriate.

throwErrnoPathIfMinus1 :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> FilePath -> IO a -> IO a

as `throwErrnoIfMinus1`, but exceptions include the given path when appropriate.

throwErrnoPathIfMinus1_ :: (Eq a, Num a) => String -> FilePath -> IO a -> IO ()

as `throwErrnoIfMinus1_`, but exceptions include the given path when appropriate.
