[Ocaml-lib-devel] Adding file_descr support to IO?

[Bardur A. <lis...@sc...>]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone would mind me adding a couple of functions
with signatures

     val input_file_descr : Unix.file_descr -> IO.input;
     val output_file_descr : Unix.file_descr -> unit IO.output;

to the IO module? The idea is to use

    Unix.read
    Unix.single_write
    Unix.close

to read/write directly to/from the file descriptor. There shouldn't
really be any platform-specific issues since these functions of the Unix
module are supported on all platforms.

Any objections?
