Changelog for unix package

  • Tighten SafeHaskell bounds for GHC 7.10+

  • Add haddock comments on RTLD_NEXT and RTLD_DEFAULT

  • Deprecate function haveRtldLocal

  • Fix getGroupEntryForID/getGroupEntryForName on Solaris. Solaris uses CPP macros for required getgrgid_r and getgrnam_r functions definition so the fix is to change from C ABI calling convention to C API calling convention

  • Fix potential type-mismatch in telldir/seekdir FFI imports

  • Use CAPI FFI import for truncate to make sure the LFS-version is used.

  • executeFile: Fix ENOTDIR error for entries with non-directory components in PATH (and instead skip over non-directory PATH-elements)

  • New functions in System.Posix.Unistd:

    • fileSynchronise (aka fsync(2)), and
    • fileSynchroniseDataOnly (aka fdatasync(2))

  • New module System.Posix.Fcntl providing

    • fileAdvise (aka posix_fadvise(2)), and

  • Bundled with GHC 7.8.1

  • Handle EROFS and ETXTBSY as (non-exceptional) permission denied in fileAccess

2.7.0.0 Nov 2013

  • New forkProcessWithUnmask function in the style of forkIOWithUnmask

  • Change forkProcess to inherit the exception masking state of its caller

  • Add new Bool flag to ProcessStatus(Terminated) constructor indicating whether a core dump occured

  • New functions in System.Posix.Files{,.ByteString} for operating on high resolution file timestamps:

    setFdTimesHiRes :: Fd -> POSIXTime -> POSIXTime -> IO ()
setFileTimesHiRes :: FilePath -> POSIXTime -> POSIXTime -> IO ()
setSymbolicLinkTimesHiRes :: FilePath -> POSIXTime -> POSIXTime -> IO ()
touchFd :: Fd -> IO ()
touchSymbolicLink :: FilePath -> IO ()

  • Export SignalInfo(..) and SignalSpecificInfo(..) as well as the two Handler constructors CatchInfo and CatchInfoOnce from System.Posix.Signals

  • Don't export seekDirStream and tellDirStream if the underlying seekdir(3)/telldir(3) system calls are not available (as on Android)
