val set_nonblock : file_descr -> unit
(** Set the ``non-blocking'' flag on the given descriptor.
When the non-blocking flag is set, reading on a descriptor
on which there is temporarily no data available raises the
[EAGAIN] or [EWOULDBLOCK] error instead of blocking;
writing on a descriptor on which there is temporarily no room
for writing also raises [EAGAIN] or [EWOULDBLOCK]. *)
val clear_nonblock : file_descr -> unit
(** Clear the ``non-blocking'' flag on the given descriptor.
See {!Unix.set_nonblock}.*)
val set_close_on_exec : file_descr -> unit
(** Set the ``close-on-exec'' flag on the given descriptor.
A descriptor with the close-on-exec flag is automatically

val clear_close_on_exec : file_descr -> unit

string -> string array -> file_descr -> file_descr -> file_descr -> int
(** [create_process prog args new_stdin new_stdout new_stderr]
forks a new process that executes the program
in file [prog], with arguments [args]. The pid of the new
process is returned immediately; the new process executes
concurrently with the current process.
The standard input and outputs of the new process are connected
to the descriptors [new_stdin], [new_stdout] and [new_stderr].
Passing e.g. [stdout] for [new_stdout] prevents the redirection
and causes the new process to have the same standard output
as the current process.
The executable file [prog] is searched in the path.
The new process has the same environment as the current process. *)
val create_process_env :
string -> string array -> string array -> file_descr -> file_descr ->
file_descr -> int
(** [create_process_env prog args env new_stdin new_stdout new_stderr]
works as {!Unix.create_process}, except that the extra argument
[env] specifies the environment passed to the program. *)
val open_process_in : string -> in_channel
(** High-level pipe and process management. This function
runs the given command in parallel with the program.
The standard output of the command is redirected to a pipe,
which can be read via the returned input channel.
The command is interpreted by the shell [/bin/sh] (cf. [system]). *)
val open_process_out : string -> out_channel
(** Same as {!Unix.open_process_in}, but redirect the standard input of
the command to a pipe. Data written to the returned output channel
is sent to the standard input of the command.
Warning: writes on output channels are buffered, hence be careful
to call {!Pervasives.flush} at the right times to ensure
correct synchronization. *)
val open_process : string -> in_channel * out_channel
(** Same as {!Unix.open_process_out}, but redirects both the standard input
and standard output of the command to pipes connected to the two
returned channels. The input channel is connected to the output
of the command, and the output channel to the input of the command. *)
val open_process_full :
string -> string array -> in_channel * out_channel * in_channel
(** Similar to {!Unix.open_process}, but the second argument specifies
the environment passed to the command. The result is a triple
of channels connected respectively to the standard output, standard input,
and standard error of the command. *)
val close_process_in : in_channel -> process_status
(** Close channels opened by {!Unix.open_process_in},
wait for the associated command to terminate,
and return its termination status. *)
val close_process_out : out_channel -> process_status
(** Close channels opened by {!Unix.open_process_out},
wait for the associated command to terminate,
and return its termination status. *)

(** Close channels opened by {!Unix.open_process},
wait for the associated command to terminate,

val select :
file_descr list -> file_descr list -> file_descr list -> float ->
file_descr list * file_descr list * file_descr list
(** Wait until some input/output operations become possible on
some channels. The three list arguments are, respectively, a set
of descriptors to check for reading (first argument), for writing
(second argument), or for exceptional conditions (third argument).
The fourth argument is the maximal timeout, in seconds; a
negative fourth argument means no timeout (unbounded wait).
The result is composed of three sets of descriptors: those ready
for reading (first component), ready for writing (second component),
and over which an exceptional condition is pending (third
component). *)
(** {6 Locking} *)

| F_TRLOCK (** Lock a region for reading, or fail if already locked *)
(** Commands for {!Unix.lockf}. *)
val lockf : file_descr -> lock_command -> int -> unit
(** [lockf fd cmd size] puts a lock on a region of the file opened
as [fd]. The region starts at the current read/write position for
[fd] (as set by {!Unix.lseek}), and extends [size] bytes forward if
[size] is positive, [size] bytes backwards if [size] is negative,
or to the end of the file if [size] is zero.
A write lock prevents any other
process from acquiring a read or write lock on the region.
A read lock prevents any other
process from acquiring a write lock on the region, but lets
other processes acquire read locks on it.
The [F_LOCK] and [F_TLOCK] commands attempts to put a write lock
on the specified region.
The [F_RLOCK] and [F_TRLOCK] commands attempts to put a read lock
on the specified region.
If one or several locks put by another process prevent the current process
from acquiring the lock, [F_LOCK] and [F_RLOCK] block until these locks
are removed, while [F_TLOCK] and [F_TRLOCK] fail immediately with an
exception.
The [F_ULOCK] removes whatever locks the current process has on
the specified region.
Finally, the [F_TEST] command tests whether a write lock can be
acquired on the specified region, without actually putting a lock.
It returns immediately if successful, or fails otherwise. *)

Note: installation of signal handlers is performed via
the functions {!Sys.signal} and {!Sys.set_signal}.

the list [sigs].
If [cmd] is [SIG_BLOCK], the signals in [sigs] are added to
the set of blocked signals.
If [cmd] is [SIG_UNBLOCK], the signals in [sigs] are removed
from the set of blocked signals.
[sigprocmask] returns the set of previously blocked signals. *)
val sigpending : unit -> int list
(** Return the set of blocked signals that are currently pending. *)
val sigsuspend : int list -> unit
(** [sigsuspend sigs] atomically sets the blocked signals to [sigs]
