{-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-} {-# LANGUAGE NoImplicitPrelude #-} {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} {-| == Rationale This module offers functions to handle files that offer better durability and/or atomicity. == When to use the functions on this module? Given the usage of this functions comes at a cost in performance, it is important to consider what are the use cases that are ideal for each of the functions. === Not Durable and not Atomic For this use case, you want to use the regular functions: * 'System.IO.withBinaryFile' * 'RIO.writeFileBinary' The regular use case for this scenario happens when your program is dealing with outputs that are never going to be consumed again by your program. For example, imagine you have a program that generates sales reports for the last month, this is a report that can be generated quickly; you don't really care if the output file gets corrupted or lost at one particular execution of your program given that is cheap to execute the data export program a second time. In other words, your program doesn't /rely/ on the data contained in this file in order to work. === Atomic but not Durable Imagine a scenario where your program builds a temporary file that serves as an intermediate step to a bigger task, like Object files (@.o@) in a compilation process. The program will use an existing @.o@ file if it is present, or it will build one from scratch if it is not. The file is not really required, but if it is present, it *must* be valid and consistent. In this situation, you care about atomicity, but not durability. There is no function exported by this module that provides /only/ atomicity. === Durable but not Atomic For this use case, you want to use the functions: * 'withBinaryFileDurable' * 'writeBinaryFileDurable' The regular use case for this scenario happens when your program deals with file modifications that must be guaranteed to be durable, but you don't care that changes are consistent. If you use this function, more than likely your program is ensuring consistency guarantees through other means, for example, SQLite uses the Write Ahead Log (WAL) algorithm to ensure changes are atomic at an application level. === Durable and Atomic For this use case, you can use the functions: * 'withBinaryFileDurableAtomic' * 'writeBinaryFileDurableAtomic' The regular use case for this scenario happens when you want to ensure that after a program is executed, the modifications done to a file are guaranteed to be saved, and also that changes are rolled-back in case there is a failure (e.g. hard reboot, shutdown, etc). @since 0.1.6 -} module RIO.File ( writeBinaryFileDurable , writeBinaryFileDurableAtomic , withBinaryFileDurable , withBinaryFileDurableAtomic , ensureFileDurable ) where import RIO.Prelude.Reexports #ifdef WINDOWS import RIO.Prelude.IO #else import RIO.Directory (doesFileExist) import RIO.ByteString (hPut) import Data.Bits ((.|.)) import Data.Typeable (cast) import Foreign.C (CInt (..), throwErrnoIfMinus1, throwErrnoIfMinus1Retry) import GHC.IO.Device (IODeviceType (RegularFile)) import qualified GHC.IO.Device as Device import qualified GHC.IO.FD as FD import qualified GHC.IO.Handle.FD as HandleFD import System.Directory (copyFile) import System.FilePath (takeDirectory, takeFileName, (</>)) import System.Posix.Internals (CFilePath, c_close, c_safe_open, withFilePath) import System.Posix.Types (CMode (..), Fd (..)) import System.IO (openBinaryTempFile) #if MIN_VERSION_base(4,9,0) import qualified GHC.IO.Handle.Types as HandleFD (Handle (..), Handle__ (..)) #endif -- TODO: Add a ticket/pull request to export this symbols from -- System.Internal.Posix -- -- NOTE: System.Posix.Internal doesn't re-export this constants so we have to -- recreate-them here foreign import ccall unsafe "HsBase.h __hscore_o_rdonly" o_RDONLY :: CInt foreign import ccall unsafe "HsBase.h __hscore_o_wronly" o_WRONLY :: CInt foreign import ccall unsafe "HsBase.h __hscore_o_rdwr" o_RDWR :: CInt foreign import ccall unsafe "HsBase.h __hscore_o_append" o_APPEND :: CInt foreign import ccall unsafe "HsBase.h __hscore_o_creat" o_CREAT :: CInt foreign import ccall unsafe "HsBase.h __hscore_o_noctty" o_NOCTTY :: CInt -- After here, we have our own imports foreign import ccall safe "fcntl.h openat" c_safe_openat :: CInt -> CFilePath -> CInt -> CMode -> IO CInt foreign import ccall safe "fcntl.h renameat" c_safe_renameat :: CInt -> CFilePath -> CInt -> CFilePath -> IO CInt foreign import ccall safe "unistd.h fsync" c_safe_fsync :: CInt -> IO CInt std_flags, output_flags, read_flags, write_flags, rw_flags, append_flags :: CInt std_flags = o_NOCTTY output_flags = std_flags .|. o_CREAT read_flags = std_flags .|. o_RDONLY write_flags = output_flags .|. o_WRONLY rw_flags = output_flags .|. o_RDWR append_flags = write_flags .|. o_APPEND ioModeToFlags :: IOMode -> CInt ioModeToFlags iomode = case iomode of ReadMode -> read_flags WriteMode -> write_flags ReadWriteMode -> rw_flags AppendMode -> append_flags -- | Returns a low-level file descriptor for a directory path.
