* Package name : haskell-child Version : 2005-02-14 Upstream Author : Peter Simons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://cryp.to/child/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Haskell threading utilities and timeouts The module Child wraps forkIO to implement the concept of "child processes". Uncaught exceptions in children will be propagated to you, you can wait for children to terminate, and they can return values to you when they do. You can run two computations "in parallel" and get the result of the one that returns first, and you have a generic timeout function, which can be used to write non-blocking I/O code with standard System.IO functions. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
