Raw wraps a file-descriptor with an file-format used internally by Index. The format contains the following header fields:

  • offset: a 64-bit integer, denoting the length of the file containing valid data;
  • version: an 8-byte version string;
  • generation: a 64-bit integer denoting the generation number;
  • fan: a 64-bit length field, followed by a string containing that many bytes.
type t

The type of raw file handles.

val v : Unix.file_descr -> t
