Hello,

I just released the small package explicit-iomodes-0.1:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/explicit-iomodes-0.1

It's a wrapper around System.IO that provides a Handle type which is parametrized with the IOMode it is in. All operations on handles specify the needed IOMode which makes it a type error if you read from a write-only handle or if you write to a read-only handle for example.

Thanks to Lee Houghton, Brandon S. Allbery and Jason Dagit for providing initial feedback!

regards,

Bas

I just uploaded a minor 0.1.1 release of explicit-iomodes which adds the following function: regularHandle :: Handle ioMode -> System.IO.Handle to retrieve the regular System.IO.Handle so you can use this library with other libraries that use regular handles. regards, Bas
