System.OsString

Description

An implementation of platform specific short OsString, which is:

  1. on windows wide char bytes ([Word16])
  2. on unix char bytes ([Word8])

It captures the notion of syscall specific encoding (or the lack thereof) to avoid roundtrip issues and memory fragmentation by using unpinned byte arrays. Bytes are not touched or interpreted.

Synopsis

String types

data OsString Source #

Newtype representing short operating system specific strings.

Internally this is either WindowsString or PosixString, depending on the platform. Both use unpinned ShortByteString for efficiency.

The constructor is only exported via System.OsString.Internal.Types, since dealing with the internals isn't generally recommended, but supported in case you need to write platform specific code.

OsString construction

encodeUtf :: MonadThrow m => String -> m OsString Source #

Partial unicode friendly encoding.

On windows this encodes as UTF16-LE (strictly), which is a pretty good guess. On unix this encodes as UTF8 (strictly), which is a good guess.

Throws a EncodingException if encoding fails.

encodeWith Source #

Arguments

:: TextEncoding

unix text encoding

-> TextEncoding

windows text encoding

-> String 
-> Either EncodingException OsString 

Encode an OsString given the platform specific encodings.

encodeFS :: String -> IO OsString Source #

Like encodeUtf, except this mimics the behavior of the base library when doing filesystem operations, which is:

  1. on unix, uses shady PEP 383 style encoding (based on the current locale, but PEP 383 only works properly on UTF-8 encodings, so good luck)
  2. on windows does permissive UTF-16 encoding, where coding errors generate Chars in the surrogate range

Looking up the locale requires IO. If you're not worried about calls to setFileSystemEncoding, then unsafePerformIO may be feasible (make sure to deeply evaluate the result to catch exceptions).

osstr :: QuasiQuoter Source #

QuasiQuote an OsString. This accepts Unicode characters and encodes as UTF-8 on unix and UTF-16 on windows.

pack :: [OsChar] -> OsString Source #

Pack a list of OsChar to an OsString

Note that using this in conjunction with unsafeFromChar to convert from [Char] to OsString is probably not what you want, because it will truncate unicode code points.

OsString deconstruction

decodeUtf :: MonadThrow m => OsString -> m String Source #

Partial unicode friendly decoding.

On windows this decodes as UTF16-LE (strictly), which is a pretty good guess. On unix this decodes as UTF8 (strictly), which is a good guess. Note that filenames on unix are encoding agnostic char arrays.

Throws a EncodingException if decoding fails.

decodeWith Source #

Arguments

:: TextEncoding

unix text encoding

-> TextEncoding

windows text encoding

-> OsString 
-> Either EncodingException String 

Decode an OsString with the specified encoding.

The String is forced into memory to catch all exceptions.

decodeFS :: OsString -> IO String Source #

Like decodeUtf, except this mimics the behavior of the base library when doing filesystem operations, which is:

  1. on unix, uses shady PEP 383 style encoding (based on the current locale, but PEP 383 only works properly on UTF-8 encodings, so good luck)
  2. on windows does permissive UTF-16 encoding, where coding errors generate Chars in the surrogate range

Looking up the locale requires IO. If you're not worried about calls to setFileSystemEncoding, then unsafePerformIO may be feasible (make sure to deeply evaluate the result to catch exceptions).

unpack :: OsString -> [OsChar] Source #

Unpack an OsString to a list of OsChar.

Word types

data OsChar Source #

Newtype representing a code unit.

On Windows, this is restricted to two-octet codepoints Word16, on POSIX one-octet (Word8).
