runWD :: WDSession -> WD a -> IO a

Executes a WD computation within the IO monad, using the given WDSession.

runSession :: WDSession -> Capabilities -> WD a -> IO a

Like runWD, but automatically creates a session beforehand and closes it afterwards. This is a very common use case.

withSession :: WDSession -> WD a -> WD a

Locally sets a WDSession for use within the given WD action. The state of the outer action is unaffected by this function. This function is useful if you need to work with multiple sessions at once.

finallyClose :: WD a -> WD a

A finalizer ensuring that the session is always closed at the end of the given WD action, regardless of any exceptions.

closeOnException :: WD a -> WD a

A variant of finallyClose that only closes the session when an asynchronous exception is thrown, but otherwise leaves the session open if the action was successful.
