# Module Netsys_types

    module Netsys_types: sig .. end

Types for all Netsys modules

    type memory = (char, Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, Bigarray.c_layout) Bigarray.Array1.t

We consider 1-dimensional bigarrays of chars as memory buffers. They have the useful property that the garbage collector cannot relocate them, i.e. the address is fixed. Also, one can mmap a file, and connect the bigarray with shared memory.

    class type mstring = object .. end

See `Netxdr_mstring.mstring` for documentation

    exception EAGAIN_RD

    exception EAGAIN_WR

A read or write cannot be done because the descriptor is in non-blocking mode and would block. This corresponds to the `Unix.EAGAIN` error but includes whether it was a read or write.

When the read or write is possible, the interrupted function should simply be again called.

These two exceptions are preferred by TLS providers.

    exception TLS_switch_request

The server requested a rehandshake (this exception is thrown in the client)

    exception TLS_switch_response of bool

The client accepted or denied a rehandshake (this exception is thrown in the server). `true` means acceptance.

    exception TLS_error of string

A fatal error occurred (i.e. the session needs to be terminated). The string is a symbol identifying the error.

    exception TLS_warning of string

A non-fatal error occurred. The interrupted function should be called again. The string is a symbol identifying the warning.
