* dev: Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib functions Conflicts: erts/preloaded/ebin/zlib.beam
2011-09-02Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib functionsHans Bolinder
The functions zlib:deflateSetDictionary/2 and zlib:inflateSetDictionary/2 accept iodata() as Dictionary. The functions zlib:crc32/2,3, zlib:adler32/2,3, zlib:compress/1, zlib:uncompress/1, zlib:zip/1, and zlib:unzip/1 accept iodata() as data.
2011-07-06Remove deprecated concat_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using list_to_binary/1 instead.

2011-06-08Teach prim_file:list_dir/1,2 to use fname chunksBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The efile driver will now use chunked data on list_dir. This will lessen the number of sends to prim_file and hence improve performance. This method is utilized in both direct and async cases.
2011-06-08Replace atom in DRV macro in prim_file with stringStavros Aronis
An experimental version of Dialyzer discovered that the atom that replaced the DRV macro in prim_file ends up in calls to erlang:open_port({spawn, Driver}, Portopts) as the Driver argument. The documentation states that this call requires a string there. This change is also consistent with the one introduced in commit 0f03b1e9d2bef3bc830c31a369261af4c5234727 by Kostis Sagonas.

2010-10-20Teach -init_debug to print info about on_load handlers begin runBjörn Gustavsson
2010-10-20Fix hang in on_load handlers in embedded modeBjörn Gustavsson
In embedded mode, all on_load handlers will be called after loading all modules but before starting any servers. Therefore, if an on_load handler calls any function in the code module that calls the code server (such as code:priv_dir/1), there will be a deadlock because the code server has not yet been started. Fix this problem by invoking the on_load handlers after having started most servers in the kernel application.

2010-06-04Support opening files in exclusive modeMichael Santos
Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL varies across platforms and filesystems. {ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]), {error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

2010-05-24Merge branch 'fm/file-operations' into devErlang/OTP
* fm/file-operations: Update preloaded modules Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadvise Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents only sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macro OTP-8637 fm/file-operations The functions file:advise/4 and file:datasync/1 have been added. (Thanks to Filipe David Manana.)
2010-05-20Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadviseFilipe David Manana
Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to maximize disk IO performance.
2010-05-20Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents onlyFilipe David Manana
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)". This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write operations compared to fsync. More details on it at: http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync An example, from the MySQL source: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61 This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
2010-03-16Add function zip:foldl/3 to iterate over zip archivesHåkan Mattsson
This is the public interface of prim_zip:open/3, which has been used in earlier releases by both erl_prim_loader and escript. The new function can be used as a replacement for the undocumented function escript:foldl/3 that is likely to be removed without further notice. The error handling of prim_zip:open/3 (and prim_zip:foldl/3) has been improved in order to better suite a public interface. For example it could happen that a file or a zlib port could be left open in some errors cases. The documentation of the FileSpec parameter to zip:create/3 has been updated to show that file info can be explicitly specified. A FileSpec may contain {Filename, binary(), #file_info{}} elements. The function zip:create/3 was already prepared to partly support this, but now after a few minor fixes it is fully supported.

2010-01-27OTP-8387 Explicit top directories in archive files are now optional.Håkan Mattsson
For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from the archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also be listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they does not exist.
2010-01-06Mark concat_binary/1 as deprecatedBjörn Gustavsson
2009-12-13Change the expected return value for on_load functionsBjörn Gustavsson
An on_load function is supposed to return 'true' to indicate that the module should be loaded, and 'false' if it should be unloaded. But returning any other term, as well as causing an exception, will also unload the module. Since we don't like boolean values mixed with other values, change the expected return value as follows: * If 'ok' is returned, the module will remain loaded and become callable. * If any other value is returned (or an exception is generated), the module will be unloaded. Also, if the returned value is not an atom, send a warning message to the error_logger (using error_logger:warning_msg/2). The new interpretation of the return value means that an on_load function can now directly return the return value from erlang:load_nif/2.
