# Prelude.File

data Directory : Type

  A directory handle

  DHandle : (p : Ptr) -> Directory
data File : Type

  A file handle

  FHandle : (p : Ptr) -> File
data FileError : Type

  An error from a file operation

  GenericFileError : Int -> FileError
  FileReadError : FileError
  FileWriteError : FileError
  FileNotFound : FileError
  PermissionDenied : FileError
data Mode : Type

  Modes for opening files

  Read : Mode
  WriteTruncate : Mode
  Append : Mode
  ReadWrite : Mode
  ReadWriteTruncate : Mode
  ReadAppend : Mode
changeDir : String -> IO Bool
closeFile : File -> IO ()
createDir : String -> IO (Either FileError ())
currentDir : IO String
dirClose : Directory -> IO ()
dirEntry : Directory -> IO (Either FileError String)
dirError : Directory -> IO Bool
dirOpen : (d : String) -> IO (Either FileError Directory)
fEOF : File -> IO Bool

  Check if a file handle has reached the end

fGetChars : (h : File) -> (len : Int) -> IO (Either FileError String)

  Read up to a number of characters from a file

  h

    a file handle which must be open for reading

fGetLine : (h : File) -> IO (Either FileError String)

  Read a line from a file

  h

    a file handle which must be open for reading

fPutStr : (h : File) -> (str : String) -> IO (Either FileError ())

  Write a line to a file

  h

    a file handle which must be open for writing

  str

    the line to write to the file

fPutStrLn : File -> String -> IO (Either FileError ())
fRemove : (s : String) -> IO Bool

  Remove a file

  s

    the file name

ferror : File -> IO Bool
fflush : File -> IO ()
fgetc : File -> IO (Either FileError Char)
fileAccessTime : File -> IO (Either FileError Integer)
fileModifiedTime : File -> IO (Either FileError Integer)
fileSize : File -> IO (Either FileError Int)

  Return the size of a File
  Returns an error if the File is not an ordinary file (e.g. a directory)
  Also note that this currently returns an Int, which may overflow if the
  file is very big

fileStatusTime : File -> IO (Either FileError Integer)
fopen : (f : String) -> (m : String) -> IO (Either FileError File)

  Open a file

  f

    the filename

  m

    the mode as a String (`"r"`, `"w"`, or `"r+"`)

fpoll : File -> IO Bool
getFileError : IO FileError
modeStr : Mode -> String
openFile : (f : String) -> (m : Mode) -> IO (Either FileError File)

  Open a file

  f

    the filename

  m

    the mode; either Read, WriteTruncate, Append, ReadWrite, ReadWriteTruncate, or ReadAppend

openFileX : (f : String) -> (m : Mode) -> IO (Either FileError File)

  Open a file using C11 extended modes.

  f

    the filename

  m

    the mode; either Read, WriteTruncate, Append, ReadWrite, ReadWriteTruncate, or ReadAppend

pclose : File -> IO ()
popen : String -> Mode -> IO (Either FileError File)
readFile : (filepath : String) -> IO (Either FileError String)

  Read the contents of a text file into a string
  This checks the size of the file before beginning to read, and only
  reads that many bytes, to ensure that it remains a total function if
  the file is appended to while being read.
  This only works reliably with text files, since it relies on null-terminated
  strings internally.
  Returns an error if filepath is not a normal file.

stderr : File

  Standard output

stdin : File

  Standard input

stdout : File

  Standard output

validFile : File -> IO Bool

  Check whether a file handle is actually a null pointer

writeFile : (filepath : String) -> (contents : String) -> IO (Either FileError ())

  Write a string to a file
