System.IO.Extra
Description
More IO functions. The functions include ones for reading files with specific encodings, strictly reading files, and writing files with encodings. There are also some simple temporary file functions, more advanced alternatives can be found in the exceptions package.

Documentation
module System.IO
withBuffering :: Handle -> BufferMode -> IO a -> IO a Source #
Execute an action with a custom BufferMode, a wrapper around
hSetBuffering.
Read encoding
readFileEncoding :: TextEncoding -> FilePath -> IO String Source #
Like readFile, but setting an encoding.
Strict reading
readFile' :: FilePath -> IO String Source #
A strict version of readFile. When the string is produced, the entire
file will have been read into memory and the file handle will have been closed.
Closing the file handle does not rely on the garbage collector.
\(filter isHexDigit -> s) -> fmap (== s) $ withTempFile $ \file -> do writeFile file s; readFile' file
readFileEncoding' :: TextEncoding -> FilePath -> IO String Source #
A strict version of readFileEncoding, see readFile' for details.
readFileUTF8' :: FilePath -> IO String Source #
A strict version of readFileUTF8, see readFile' for details.
readFileBinary' :: FilePath -> IO String Source #
A strict version of readFileBinary, see readFile' for details.
Write with encoding
writeFileEncoding :: TextEncoding -> FilePath -> String -> IO () Source #
Write a file with a particular encoding.
writeFileUTF8 :: FilePath -> String -> IO () Source #
Write a file with the utf8 encoding.
\s -> withTempFile $ \file -> do writeFileUTF8 file s; fmap (== s) $ readFileUTF8' file
writeFileBinary :: FilePath -> String -> IO () Source #
Write a binary file.
\(ASCIIString s) -> withTempFile $ \file -> do writeFileBinary file s; fmap (== s) $ readFileBinary' file
Temporary files
withTempFile :: (FilePath -> IO a) -> IO a Source #
Create a temporary file in the temporary directory. The file will be deleted
after the action completes (provided the file is not still open).
The FilePath will not have any file extension, will exist, and will be zero bytes long.
If you require a file with a specific name, use withTempDir.
withTempFile doesFileExist == return True (doesFileExist =<< withTempFile return) == return False withTempFile readFile' == return ""
withTempDir :: (FilePath -> IO a) -> IO a Source #
Create a temporary directory inside the system temporary directory. The directory will be deleted after the action completes.
withTempDir doesDirectoryExist == return True (doesDirectoryExist =<< withTempDir return) == return False withTempDir listFiles == return []
newTempFile :: IO (FilePath, IO ()) Source #
Provide a function to create a temporary file, and a way to delete a
temporary file. Most users should use withTempFile which
combines these operations.
newTempDir :: IO (FilePath, IO ()) Source #
Provide a function to create a temporary directory, and a way to delete a
temporary directory. Most users should use withTempDir which
combines these operations.
newTempFileWithin :: FilePath -> IO (FilePath, IO ()) Source #
Like newTempFile but using a custom temporary directory.
newTempDirWithin :: FilePath -> IO (FilePath, IO ()) Source #
Like newTempDir but using a custom temporary directory.
File comparison
fileEq :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO Bool Source #
Returns True if both files have the same content.
Raises an error if either file is missing.
fileEq "does_not_exist1" "does_not_exist2" == undefined fileEq "does_not_exist" "does_not_exist" == undefined withTempFile $ \f1 -> fileEq "does_not_exist" f1 == undefined withTempFile $ \f1 -> withTempFile $ \f2 -> fileEq f1 f2 withTempFile $ \f1 -> withTempFile $ \f2 -> writeFile f1 "a" >> writeFile f2 "a" >> fileEq f1 f2 withTempFile $ \f1 -> withTempFile $ \f2 -> writeFile f1 "a" >> writeFile f2 "b" >> notM (fileEq f1 f2)
