To do the equivalent of the C you could use: http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/io/System.IO.html

Is this documented anywhere? How do I use this? The Haddoc documentation is a bit sparse. This seems quite different from the System.IO module installed with GHC 6.2, what's the relationship?

The difference is that the System.IO that comes with GHC is actually implemented, rather than just documented :-) (to clarify, that link above is a half-baked design for a System.IO replacement. The discussion was taking place on libraries@haskell.org a while back, but has stalled). Cheers, Simon
