Core library
The core library (lwt package) contains the Lwt
module, which defines
cooperative threads with all the primitives to manipulate them. It
also provides several general purpose modules, which do not depend on
any external package.
Lwt |
Module
Lwt : cooperative light-weight threads.
|
Lwt_condition |
Conditions
|
Lwt_list |
List helpers
|
Lwt_mutex |
Cooperative locks for mutual exclusion
|
Lwt_mvar |
Mailbox variables
|
Lwt_pool |
Creating pools (for example pools of connections to a database).
|
Lwt_sequence |
Mutable sequence of elements
|
Lwt_pqueue | |
Lwt_stream |
Data streams
|
Lwt_switch |
Lwt switches
|
Unix bindings
The lwt.unix package provides:
Lwt_unix
module, which wrap system calls into cooperative onesLwt_io
module, which defines cooperative byte channel, in
replacement of ones of the standard libraryLwt_daemon |
Daemon helpers
|
Lwt_gc |
Interaction with the garbage collector
|
Lwt_io |
Buffered byte channels
|
Lwt_log |
Logging facility
|
Lwt_main |
Main loop and event queue
|
Lwt_engine |
Lwt unix main loop engine
|
Lwt_process |
Process management
|
Lwt_throttle |
Rate limiters
|
Lwt_timeout |
Timeouts
|
Lwt_unix |
Cooperative system calls
|
Lwt_bytes |
Byte arrays
|
Lwt_sys |
System informations.
|
This package depends on the core library and the unix package.
Reactive programming helpers
The lwt.react package provides helpers for functionnal reactive
programming with Lwt. It is based on the react package. The
Lwt_react
module is a replacement for the React
module. It
contains:
React
moduleLwt_react |
React utilities
|
This package depends on the core library and the react package.
Syntax extensions
Lwt is shipped with two syntax extensions. The first one, contained in the lwt.syntax package, aims to make coding with Lwt easier, and to make code more readable. The second, contained in the package lwt.syntax.log, is a camlp4 filter which decreases the performance penalty when using logging by inlining level tests.
Pa_lwt |
Syntactic sugars for lwt
|
Pa_lwt_log |
Logging facility
|
Terminal manipulation
The package lwt.text provides:
Lwt_term
Lwt_read_line |
Interactive line input
|
Lwt_term |
Terminal control
|
Lwt_text |
Text channels
|
This package depends on the core library, and the lwt.react, lwt.unix, text packages.
Miscellaneous
The following modules are wrapper for integration of non-Lwt functions/packages into Lwt.
Lwt_glib |
Glib integration
|
Lwt_lib |
Cooperative unix system calls
|
Lwt_preemptive |
This module allows to mix preemptive threads with
Lwt
cooperative threads.
|
Lwt_ssl |
OCaml-SSL integration
