(* Miscsys.sig -- not part of the new unified basis, 12-27-94 *) (* This module provides a simple interface to the operating system. *) (* exception SysErr of string * syserror option; *)        (* This exception is identical to sys__Sys_error in the runtime.           Raised by some functions, when the underlying system calls           fail. The argument to SysErr describes the error.           The texts of the error messages are implementation-dependent,           and should not be relied upon to catch specific system errors. *) prim_val command_line : string Vector.vector = 0 "command_line";        (* The command line arguments given to the process.           The first element is the command name used to invoke the           program. *) prim_val interactive: bool = 0 "interactive";        (* True if we're running under the toplevel system. False if           we're running as a standalone program. *) prim_val getenv : string -> string = 1 "sys_getenv";        (* Return the value associated to a variable in the process           environment. Raise [Not_found] if the variable is unbound. *) prim_val catch_interrupt : bool -> unit = 1 "sys_catch_break"  (* Currently, this doesn't work properly in the top-level system,     because it calls this primitive itself to prevent the system     from being interrupted while in critical intervals. *)        (* [catch_interrupt] governs whether user interrupt terminates           the program or raises the [Interrupt] exception. Call           [catch_interrupt true] to enable raising [Interrupt],           and [catch_interrupt false] to let the system terminate           the program on user interrupt. *) val remove : string -> unit val rename : {old: string, new: string} -> unit val chdir  : string -> unit  (* [remove f] deletes the file [f] from the operating system.    [rename{new, old}] renames file [old] to [new].    [chdir dir] changes the current working directory of the process.   Note that there is no easy way of getting the current working   directory from the operating system.*)
