join :: Monad m => m (m a) -> m a #
The join function is the conventional monad join operator. It
is used to remove one level of monadic structure, projecting its
bound argument into the outer level.
Examples
A common use of join is to run an IO computation returned from
an STM transaction, since STM transactions
can't perform IO directly. Recall that
atomically :: STM a -> IO a
is used to run STM transactions atomically. So, by
specializing the types of atomically and join to
atomically:: STM (IO b) -> IO (IO b)join:: IO (IO b) -> IO b
we can compose them as
join.atomically:: STM (IO b) -> IO b
