-- | A cross-platform wrapper for sendfile -- this implements an available operating-system call if supported, otherwise it falls back to a portable haskell implementation. -- -- Two interfaces are provided for both the unsafe and safe sets of functions. The first interface accepts an output socket\/handle and the path of the file you want to send; sendFile and unsafeSendFile comprise this interface. The second interface accepts an output socket\/handle, a handle to the file you want to send, an offset, and the number of bytes you want to send; sendFile' and unsafeSendFile' comprise this interface. -- -- For consistent read/write behavior with either sendFile' or unsafeSendFile', the input handle should be opened in Binary mode rather than Text mode. -- module Network.Socket.SendFile ( ByteCount, Offset, -- * Safe functions (recommended) sendFile, sendFile', -- * Unsafe functions (not recommended) -- | With unsafeSendFile and unsafeSendFile' the output should only be a `Handle` derived from a network socket (by using socketToHandle). These functions are unsafe because you cannot know whether or not a Handle is actually a `Socket` at compile-time. If you try to use a `Handle` for the output which is not in fact a socket, you will get a runtime error. -- -- These functions are provided for convenience given that the current high-level interface in the Network package gives you a `Handle` when you use accept. They may be deprecated in the future. unsafeSendFile, unsafeSendFile', -- * Utility functions sendFileMode ) where import qualified Network.Socket.SendFile.Internal (sendFile, sendFile', sendFileMode, unsafeSendFile, unsafeSendFile') import Network.Socket (Socket) import System.IO (Handle) -- | The file offset (in bytes) to start from type Offset = Integer -- | The length (in bytes) which should be sent type ByteCount = Integer -- | The simplest interface. Simply give it an output `Socket` and the `FilePath` to the input file. sendFile :: Socket -- ^ The output socket -> FilePath -- ^ The path where the input file resides -> IO () sendFile = Network.Socket.SendFile.Internal.sendFile -- | A more powerful interface than sendFile, sendFile' accepts a `Handle` for the input file instead of a `FilePath`, a starting offset, and the bytecount to send; the offset and the count must be a positive integer. The initial position of the input file handle matters not since the offset is absolute, and the final position may be different depending on the platform -- no assumptions can be made. sendFile' :: Socket -- ^ The output socket -> Handle -- ^ The input file handle -> Offset -- ^ The offset to start at -> ByteCount -- ^ The number of bytes to send -> IO () sendFile' = Network.Socket.SendFile.Internal.sendFile' -- | The unsafe version of sendFile which accepts a `Handle` instead of a `Socket` for the output. It will flush the output handle before sending any file data. unsafeSendFile :: Handle -- ^ The output handle -> FilePath -- ^ The path where the input file resides -> IO () unsafeSendFile = Network.Socket.SendFile.Internal.unsafeSendFile -- | The unsafe version of sendFile' which accepts a `Handle` instead of a `Socket` for the output. It will flush the output handle before sending any file data. unsafeSendFile' :: Handle -- ^ The output handle -> Handle -- ^ The input file handle -> Offset -- ^ The offset to start at -> ByteCount -- ^ The number of bytes to send -> IO () unsafeSendFile' = Network.Socket.SendFile.Internal.unsafeSendFile' -- | Returns the mode that sendfile was compiled with. Mainly for debugging use. Possible values are 'WIN32_SENDFILE', 'LINUX_SENDFILE', 'FREEBSD_SENDFILE', and 'PORTABLE_SENDFILE'. sendFileMode :: String -- ^ The mode that sendfile was compiled with sendFileMode = Network.Socket.SendFile.Internal.sendFileMode
