{1 Lwt - API Reference}

{2 Core library}

The {e core} library ({e lwt} package) contains the {!Lwt} module, which defines
cooperative threads with all the primitives to manipulate them. It
also provides several general purpose modules, which do not depend on
any external package.

{!modules:
Lwt
Lwt_result
Lwt_condition
Lwt_list
Lwt_mutex
Lwt_mvar
Lwt_pool
Lwt_stream
Lwt_switch
Lwt_sequence
Lwt_pqueue
}

{2 Unix bindings}

The {e lwt.unix} package provides:
- the {!Lwt_unix} module, which wrap system calls into cooperative ones
- the {!Lwt_io} module, which defines cooperative byte channel, in
  replacement of ones of the standard library
- module helpers for spawning processes, ...

{!modules:
Lwt_gc
Lwt_io
Lwt_main
Lwt_engine
Lwt_process
Lwt_throttle
Lwt_timeout
Lwt_unix
Lwt_bytes
Lwt_fmt
Lwt_sys
}

This package depends on the {e core} library and the {e unix} package.

{2 Reactive programming helpers}

The {e lwt.react} package provides helpers for functional reactive
programming with Lwt. It is based on the {e react} package. The
{!Lwt_react} module is a replacement for the [React] module. It
contains:

- all the functions of the [React] module
- Lwt specific primitives
- cooperative versions of {e react} functions

{!modules:
Lwt_react
}

This package depends on the {e core} library and the {e react} package.

{2 PPX syntax extension}

Syntactic sugar for Lwt, such as [let%lwt x = e in e'] syntax for [bind].

{!modules:
Ppx_lwt
}

{2 Miscellaneous}

The following modules are wrapper for integration of non-Lwt
functions/packages into Lwt.

{!modules:
Lwt_preemptive
}

{2 Index}
