(* Module [Sys]: system interface *)
val argv: string array
(* The command line arguments given to the process.
The first element is the command name used to invoke the program.
The following elements are the arguments given to the program. *)
external file_exists: string -> bool = "sys_file_exists"
(* Test if a file with the given name exists. *)
external remove: string -> unit = "sys_remove"
(* Remove the given file name from the file system. *)
external rename : string -> string -> unit = "sys_rename"
(* Rename a file. The first argument is the old name and the
second is the new name. *)
external getenv: string -> string = "sys_getenv"
(* Return the value associated to a variable in the process
environment. Raise [Not_found] if the variable is unbound. *)
external command: string -> int = "sys_system_command"
(* Execute the given shell command and return its exit code. *)
external chdir: string -> unit = "sys_chdir"
(* Change the current working directory of the process. *)
external getcwd: unit -> string = "sys_getcwd"
(* Return the current working directory of the process. *)

(* This reference is initially set to [false] in standalone
programs and to [true] if the code is being executed under
the interactive toplevel [csltop]. *)

| Signal_handle of (int -> unit)
(* What to do when receiving a signal:
- [Signal_default]: take the default behavior
- [Signal_ignore]: ignore the signal
- [Signal_handle f]: call function [f], giving it the signal
number as argument. *)
external signal: int -> signal_behavior -> unit = "install_signal_handler"
(* Set the behavior of the system on receipt of a given signal.
The first argument is the signal number. *)

exception Break
(* Exception raised on interactive interrupt if [catch_break]
is on. *)
val catch_break: bool -> unit
(* [catch_break] governs whether interactive interrupt (ctrl-C)
terminates the program or raises the [Break] exception.
Call [catch_break true] to enable raising [Break],
and [catch_break false] to let the system
terminate the program on user interrupt. *)
