UTF-8 aware string IO functions that will work across multiple platforms and GHC versions. Includes code from Text.Pandoc.UTF8 ((C) 2010 John MacFarlane).
Example usage:
import Prelude hiding (readFile,writeFile,appendFile,getContents,putStr,putStrLn) import UTF8IOCompat (readFile,writeFile,appendFile,getContents,putStr,putStrLn) import UTF8IOCompat (SystemString,fromSystemString,toSystemString,error',userError')
- readFile :: FilePath -> IO String
- writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()
- appendFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()
- getContents :: IO String
- hGetContents :: Handle -> IO String
- putStr :: String -> IO ()
- putStrLn :: String -> IO ()
- hPutStr :: Handle -> String -> IO ()
- hPutStrLn :: Handle -> String -> IO ()
- type SystemString = String
- fromSystemString :: SystemString -> String
- toSystemString :: String -> SystemString
- error' :: String -> a
- userError' :: String -> IOError

appendFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()Source
hGetContents :: Handle -> IO StringSource
type SystemString = StringSource
A string received from or being passed to the operating system, such as a file path, command-line argument, or environment variable name or value. With GHC versions before 7.2 on some platforms (posix) these are typically encoded. When converting, we assume the encoding is UTF-8 (cf http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/fixing-unix-linux-filenames.html#UTF8).
fromSystemString :: SystemString -> StringSource
Convert a system string to an ordinary string, decoding from UTF-8 if it appears to be UTF8-encoded and GHC version is less than 7.2.
toSystemString :: String -> SystemStringSource
Convert a unicode string to a system string, encoding with UTF-8 if we are on a posix platform with GHC < 7.2.
userError' :: String -> IOErrorSource
A SystemString-aware version of userError.
