type physical_path = string
type load_path = physical_path list
val physical_path_of_string : string -> physical_path
val string_of_physical_path : physical_path -> string
val escaped_string_of_physical_path : physical_path -> string

Escape what has to be escaped (e.g. surround with quotes if with spaces)

val canonical_path_name : string -> string
val remove_path_dot : string -> string

Remove all initial "./" in a path

val strip_path : string -> string

If a path p starts with the current directory $PWD then strip_path p returns the sub-path relative to $PWD. Any leading "./" are also removed from the result.

val correct_path : string -> string -> string

correct_path f dir = dir/f if f is relative

val path_to_list : string -> string list
val make_suffix : string -> string -> string

make_suffix file suf catenate file with suf when file does not already end with suf.

val file_readable_p : string -> bool
Executing commands

run_command com launches command com, and returns the contents of stdout and stderr. If given, ~hook is called on each elements read on stdout or stderr.

val run_command : ?hook:(bytes -> unit) -> string -> Unix.process_status * string

sys_command launches program prog with arguments args. It behaves like Sys.command, except that we rely on Unix.create_process, it's hardly more complex and avoids dealing with shells. In particular, no need to quote arguments (against whitespace or other funny chars in paths), hence no need to care about the different quoting conventions of /bin/sh and cmd.exe.

val sys_command : string -> string list -> Unix.process_status

A version of Unix.waitpid immune to EINTR exceptions

val waitpid_non_intr : int -> Unix.process_status
val same_file : string -> string -> bool

Check if two file names refer to the same (existing) file

val mktemp_dir : ?temp_dir:string -> string -> string -> string

Like Stdlib.Filename.temp_file but producing a directory.
