2010-10-14Add the {encoding, _} options to file:open/2's modesKostis Sagonas
Although the {encoding, encoding()} set of options is documented in the manual page of the 'file' module, they do not appear in the Mode description on that page nor in the mode() type declaration. The patch adds this information in both the code of the module and the documentation of the module. To avoid duplication, the declaration of the encoding() type is added to the 'unicode' module where it most probably belongs. While at it, added a proper declaration for posix(), took out the now superfluous information about the types of file:open/2 from the erl_bif_types module, and corrected the return type of file:open/2 so that it corresponds to the published documentation.

2010-09-09Make gen_tcp:recv/2 consistent with ssl:recv/2Björn Gustavsson
When the HTTP packet mode has been enabled for a socket, the ssl and gen_tcp modules have different error indications when there is an error while parsing the HTTP header: ssl:recv(SSLSocket, 0) -> {ok, {http_error, _Str}} gen_tcp:recv(Socket, 0) -> {error, {http_error, _Str}} We have decided to change gen_tcp:recv/2 to behave the same way as ssl:recv/2. That means that there will be always be an ok tuple if data could be succefully read from the socket, and an error tuple if there was a read error at the socket level.

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]).
2010-05-20Add 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.

2010-03-16Change all incorrect occurrences of it's to itsMatthias Lang
The documentation (*.xml) in the otp tree has a common grammatical problem, "it's" and "its" are often interchanged. That is annoying for some readers. This commit consists entirely of "it's" -> "its" changes. I went through every .xml file in the tree. If there are any remaining bugs of this type, it's because I missed them, not because I didn't look.

* sc/sctp-connect-nowait: Implement a non-blocking SCTP connect OTP-8414 There are new gen_sctp:connect_init/* functions that initiate an SCTP connection without blocking for the result. The result is delivered asynchronously as an sctp_assoc_change event. (Thanks to Simon Cornish.)
2010-02-06Implement a non-blocking SCTP connectSimon Cornish
This patch adds a new set of functions - gen_sctp:connect_init/* that initiate an SCTP connection without blocking for the result. The result is delivered asynchronously as an sctp_assoc_change event. The new functions have the same API as documented for gen_sctp:connect/* with the following exceptions: * Timeout is only used to supervise resolving Addr (the peer address) * The possible return values are ok | {error, posix()} The caller application is responsible for receiving the #sctp_assoc_change{} event and correctly determining the connect it originated from (for example, by examining the remote host and/or port). The application should have at least {active, once} or use gen_sctp:recv to retrieve the connect result. The implementation of gen_sctp:connect suffers from a number of shortcomings which the user may avoid by using gen_sctp:connect_init and adding code to receive the connect result. First, irrespective of the Timeout value given to gen_sctp:connect, the OS attempts and retries the SCTP INIT according to various kernel parameters. If the Timeout value is shorter than the entire attempt then the application will still receive an sctp_assoc_change event after the {error, timeout} is returned from the initial call. This could be somewhat confusing (either to the application or the designer!) especially if the status is comm_up. Subsequent calls to connect before the OS has finished this process return {error, ealready} which may also be counter-intuitive. Second, there is a race-condition (documented in comments in inet_sctp.erl) that can cause the wrong sctp_assoc_change record to be returned to an application calling gen_sctp:connect. The race seriously affects connection attempts when using one-to-many sockets.
