UnliftIO.Resource

Unlifted version of runResourceT.

Lifted version of liftResourceT.

Unlifted allocate.

The Resource transformer. This transformer keeps track of all registered actions, and calls them upon exit (via runResourceT). Actions may be registered via register, or resources may be allocated atomically via allocate. allocate corresponds closely to bracket.

Releasing may be performed before exit via the release function. This is a highly recommended optimization, as it will ensure that scarce resources are freed early. Note that calling release will deregister the action, so that a release action will only ever be called once.

Since 0.3.0

A lookup key for a specific release action. This value is returned by register and allocate, and is passed to release.

Since 0.3.0

Perform some allocation, and automatically register a cleanup action.

This is almost identical to calling the allocation and then registering the release action, but this properly handles masking of asynchronous exceptions.

Since 0.3.0

Register some action that will be called precisely once, either when runResourceT is called, or when the ReleaseKey is passed to release.

Since 0.3.0

Call a release action early, and deregister it from the list of cleanup actions to be performed.

Since 0.3.0

Unprotect resource from cleanup actions; this allows you to send resource into another resourcet process and reregister it there. It returns a release action that should be run in order to clean resource or Nothing in case if resource is already freed.

Since 0.4.5

A Monad which allows for safe resource allocation. In theory, any monad transformer stack which includes a ResourceT can be an instance of MonadResource.

Note: runResourceT has a requirement for a MonadUnliftIO m monad, which allows control operations to be lifted. A MonadResource does not have this requirement. This means that transformers such as ContT can be an instance of MonadResource. However, the ContT wrapper will need to be unwrapped before calling runResourceT.
