IMHO generic FFI should settle before. Then I would be glad to take
part in making such interface.
I just wanted to make a ls-like directory listing. Posix lacks symlinks,
sticky bits and device id of device files. SUSV2 still seems to lack
any interpretation of device id (major/minor), so device id cannot be
portably printed in a nice way.
It's annoying that to get an unsupported bit of information from Posix
types (like st_rdev or S_ISLNK), the only way that does not depend on
implementation of Haskell's Posix module is to rewrite an interface to
a C function together with marshalling relevant C types from scratch.

Or get Donald Lewine's O'Reilly book on Posix.1, it's quite useful. An implementation of UNIX 9? (aka the single UNIX spec) for Haskell would be a Fine Thing (but is there a demand?) --sigbjorn

Ah.
Sorry if I asked this before, but I could not find the answer now:
are POSIX specifications freely available somewhere?
It would be nice to have module(s) Unix, providing parts of the
interface of e.g. The Single UNIX(R) Specification, as an addition to
Posix (i.e. the same FileStatus would have additional fields visible,
and lstat would be there).

None of these are POSIX supported (same with st_blksize.) --sigbjorn Sven Panne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk wrote: > > The subject says all. > > st_blocks is missing, too.

Posix.FileStatus: st_rdev from struct stat is missing
The subject says all.
