Documentation
A method for acquiring a scarce resource, providing the means of freeing
it when no longer needed. This data type provides
Functor
/Applicative
/Monad
instances for composing different resources
together. You can allocate these resources using either the bracket
pattern (via with
) or using ResourceT
(via allocateAcquire
).
This concept was originally introduced by Gabriel Gonzalez and described at: http://www.haskellforall.com/2013/06/the-resource-applicative.html. The implementation in this package is slightly different, due to taking a different approach to async exception safety.
Since: 1.1.0
Allocated !a !(ReleaseType -> IO ()) |
with :: MonadUnliftIO m => Acquire a -> (a -> m b) -> m b #
Allocate the given resource and provide it to the provided function. The
resource will be freed as soon as the inner block is exited, whether
normally or via an exception. This function is similar in function to
bracket
.
Since: 1.1.0
Create an Acquire
value using the given allocate and free functions.
To acquire and free the resource in an arbitrary monad with MonadUnliftIO
,
do the following:
acquire <- withRunInIO $ \runInIO -> return $ mkAcquire (runInIO create) (runInIO . free)
Note that this is only safe if the Acquire is run and freed within the same monadic scope it was created in.
Since: 1.1.0
data ReleaseType #
The way in which a release is called.
Since: 1.1.2
Instances
:: IO a | acquire the resource |
-> (a -> ReleaseType -> IO ()) | free the resource |
-> Acquire a |
Same as mkAcquire
, but the cleanup function will be informed of how
cleanup was initiated. This allows you to distinguish, for example, between
normal and exceptional exits.

,

acquire <- withRunInIO $ \runInIO -> return $ mkAcquireType (runInIO create) (\a -> runInIO . free a)
