Documentation
class Streamable a whereSource
Type class for string manipulation over files.
Methods
readAll :: Handle -> IO aSource
Read the entire contents of a Handle.
writeAll :: Handle -> a -> IO ()Source
Write an entire string to a Handle.
Instances
Use a renaming function to generate a new name for a file, then rename it.
Arguments
| :: Streamable a | |
| => (FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()) | file manipulation action |
| -> (a -> a) | transformation function |
| -> FilePath | |
| -> IO () |
Modify a file in place using the given function. The new content is written to a temporary file. Once this is complete, the file manipulation action is called. Its arguments are the names of the original and temporary files.
Example:
modifyInPlace = modifyWith (flip rename)
Arguments
| :: Streamable a | |
| => (FilePath -> FilePath) | chooses new name for original file |
| -> (a -> a) | transformation function |
| -> FilePath | name of file to modify |
| -> IO () |
Modify a file in place using the given function. The original copy of the file is saved under a new name. This is performed by writing to a temporary file; renaming the original file to its new name; then renaming the temporary file to the original name.
Example:
-- save original file with a ".bak" extension
modifyWithBackup (<.> "bak")
Arguments
| :: Streamable a | |
| => (a -> a) | transformation function |
| -> FilePath | name of file to modify |
| -> IO () |
Modify a file in place using the given function. This is performed by writing to a temporary file, then renaming it on top of the existing file when done.
