System.Posix.FD

Description

Provides an alternative for openFd which gives us more control on what status flags to pass to the low-level open(2) call, in contrast to the unix package.

Synopsis

openFd Source

Arguments

:: RawFilePath
-> OpenMode
-> [Flags]	status flags of `open(2)`
-> Maybe FileMode	Just x => creates the file with the given modes, Nothing => the file must exist.
-> IO Fd

Open and optionally create this file. See Files for information on how to use the FileMode type.

Note that passing `Just x` as the 4th argument triggers the oCreat status flag, which must be set when you pass in oExcl to the status flags. Also see the manpage for open(2).
