Caching

val persistent : 'a t -> 'a t

Iterate on the iterator, storing elements in an efficient internal structure.. The resulting iterator can be iterated on as many times as needed. Note: calling persistent on an already persistent iterator will still make a new copy of the iterator!

val persistent_lazy : 'a t -> 'a t

Lazy version of persistent. When calling persistent_lazy s, a new iterator s' is immediately returned (without actually consuming s) in constant time; the first time s' is iterated on, it also consumes s and caches its content into a inner data structure that will back s' for future iterations.

warning: on the first traversal of s', if the traversal is interrupted prematurely (take, etc.) then s' will not be memorized, and the next call to s' will traverse s again.

By chunks of 4096 bytes:

Iterator.IO.(chunks_of ~size:4096 "a" |> write_to "b");;

Caching

warning: on the first traversal of s', if the traversal is interrupted prematurely (take, etc.) then s' will not be memorized, and the next call to s' will traverse s again.

Basic IO

Very basic interface to manipulate files as iterator of chunks/lines. The iterators take care of opening and closing files properly; every time one iterates over an iterator, the file is opened/closed again.

Example: copy a file "a" into file "b", removing blank lines:

Iterator.(IO.lines_of "a" |> filter (fun l-> l<> "") |> IO.write_lines "b");;

By chunks of 4096 bytes:

Iterator.IO.(chunks_of ~size:4096 "a" |> write_to "b");;

Read the lines of a file into a list:

Caching

val persistent : 'a t -> 'a t

Iterate on the iterator, storing elements in an efficient internal structure.. The resulting iterator can be iterated on as many times as needed. Note: calling persistent on an already persistent iterator will still make a new copy of the iterator!

val persistent_lazy : 'a t -> 'a t

Lazy version of persistent. When calling persistent_lazy s, a new iterator s' is immediately returned (without actually consuming s) in constant time; the first time s' is iterated on, it also consumes s and caches its content into a inner data structure that will back s' for future iterations.

warning: on the first traversal of s', if the traversal is interrupted prematurely (take, etc.) then s' will not be memorized, and the next call to s' will traverse s again.

By chunks of 4096 bytes:

Iterator.IO.(chunks_of ~size:4096 "a" |> write_to "b");;

val join : join_row:('a -> 'b -> 'c option) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t

join ~join_row a b combines every element of a with every element of b using join_row. If join_row returns None, then the two elements do not combine. Assume that b allows for multiple iterations.

val join_by : ?⁠eq:'key equal -> ?⁠hash:'key hash -> ('a -> 'key) -> ('b -> 'key) -> merge:('key -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c option) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t

join key1 key2 ~merge is a binary operation that takes two iterators a and b, projects their elements resp. with key1 and key2, and combine values (x,y) from (a,b) with the same key using merge. If merge returns None, the combination of values is discarded. precondition: for any x and y, if eq x y then hash x=hash y must hold.

join_all_by key1 key2 ~merge is a binary operation that takes two iterators a and b, projects their elements resp. with key1 and key2, and, for each key k occurring in at least one of them:

  • compute the list l1 of elements of a that map to k
  • compute the list l2 of elements of b that map to k
  • call merge k l1 l2. If merge returns None, the combination of values is discarded, otherwise it returns Some c and c is inserted in the result.

Basic IO

Very basic interface to manipulate files as iterator of chunks/lines. The iterators take care of opening and closing files properly; every time one iterates over an iterator, the file is opened/closed again.

Example: copy a file "a" into file "b", removing blank lines:

Iterator.(IO.lines_of "a" |> filter (fun l-> l<> "") |> IO.write_lines "b");;

By chunks of 4096 bytes:

Iterator.IO.(chunks_of ~size:4096 "a" |> write_to "b");;

Read the lines of a file into a list:

Iterator.IO.lines "a" |> Iterator.to_list
