<h1>Ocamlnet 3 Reference Manual</h1>
Ocamlnet is an enhanced system platform library for Ocaml. As the name
suggests, large parts of it have to do with network programming, but
it is actually not restricted to this. Other parts deal with the
management of multiple worker processes, and the interaction with
other programs running on the same machine. You can also view Ocamlnet
as an extension of the system interface as provided by the <code class="code">Unix</code>
module of the standard library.
<p>
So, which kind of applications can profit from Ocamlnet?
<p>
<ul>
<li><b>Web applications</b> can use the <code class="code">netcgi2</code> library which provides
all core functionality like connecting to web servers, decomposing
web requests, and emitting web data. With the <code class="code">nethttpd</code> library
Ocamlnet even includes a little web server of its own, so
stand-alone Ocaml programs can respond to HTTP requests. This is
especially interesting for providing high-speed HTTP-based APIs
like REST interfaces.</li>
<li><b>Client/server architectures</b> can be built with the included SunRPC
support. This is a very robust and mature implementation of this
binary RPC protocol, both on the client and the server side. It
is wire-compatible with C implementations of SunRPC. There is a
generator for transforming SunRPC IDL files into Ocaml
modules. Authentication and encryption are also supported (using
GSS-API, or the non-standard SSL extension).</li>
<li><b>Compute jobs</b> profit from Ocamlnet because the <code class="code">netmulticore</code>
library allows it to run compute tasks on as many cores of the
machine as needed. The tasks can communicate with message passing
and exchange data via shared memory. Of course, <code class="code">netmulticore</code> is
strictly typed.</li>
<li><b>Any kind of application</b> can cherry-pick the parts of Ocamlnet
that are considered useful. Especially, Ocamlnet includes a number
of network clients (for HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, POP), and a large
number of network-related string processing functions (e.g. for
URL's, Base64, UTF-8, mail headers). For interacting with the system
there are functions to invoke subcommands (<code class="code">shell</code> library),
and also for globbing, sending email, and logging. Local and remote
filesystems can be accessed with the <a href="Netfs.html"><code class="code">Netfs</code></a> framework. The
<code class="code">netsys</code> library wraps lots of additional system calls that are
missing in the Ocaml standard library.</li>
</ul>
A number of ideas and concepts are used throughout the libraries:
<p>
<ul>
<li><a href="Netchannels.html"><code class="code">Netchannels</code></a> are a way to abstract sequential I/O channels</li>
<li>The event queues provided by <a href="Equeue.html"><code class="code">Equeue</code></a> and <a href="Unixqueue.html"><code class="code">Unixqueue</code></a> make
asynchronous protocol interpreters possible</li>
<li>The <code class="code">netplex</code> library manages worker subprocesses, e.g. for
accepting network connections or for doing computations.</li>

<b>Important change since OCaml-4.01:</b> This OCaml version changed the
semantics of the built-in primitives <code class="code">caml_modify</code> and
<code class="code">caml_initialize</code>. Essentially, it is no longer possible to modify
OCaml values residing outside the regular OCaml heap. As we do this
inside Netcamlbox and Netmulticore, this change affects these
libraries. Fortunately, there is a workaround on systems supporting weak
symbols (all ELF systems and OS X): Here, <code class="code">caml_modify</code> and
<code class="code">caml_initialize</code> are overridden by Ocamlnet so that they are
again compatible. Note that this is a global modification of the
runtime system!
