Hello,

I saw somewhere that in one of the Haskell libraries there is support to open, read, write, ioctl, etc. to POSIX drivers, but I don't see in the Haskell Report. ??

Have a look in the 'unix' library. The Haskell report defines the language, not the suite of libraries. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/unix-2.2.0.0 This has bindings to many posix apis. or possibly something else on http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html
