How To Install ghc-atomic-write on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install ghc-atomic-write
on Fedora 36.
What is ghc-atomic-write
Atomically write to a file on POSIX-compliant systems while preserving permissions. On most Unix systems,
mv
is an atomic operation. This makes it simple to write to a file atomically just by using the mv operation. However, this will destroy the permissions on the original file. This library does the following to preserve permissions while atomically writing to a file * If an original file exists, take those permissions and apply them to the temp file beforemv
ing the file into place. * If the original file does not exist, create a following with default permissions (based on the currently-active umask). This way, when the file ismv
‘ed into place, the permissions will be the ones held by the original file. This library is based on similar implementations found in common libraries in Ruby and Python ** * To use atomic-write
, import the module corresponding to the type you wish to write atomically, e.g., to write a (strict) ByteString atomically > import System.AtomicWrite.Writer.ByteString Then you can use the atomicWriteFile function that accepts aFilePath
and aByteString
, e.g. > atomicWriteFile myFilePath myByteString.
