Hoogle does not search the Posix library, because in general people should steer clear of it - otherwise I won't be able to run your programs :-) - The next version of Hoogle will permit selecting to search the Posix library, if you so choose. > I found FileMode which is a type synonym with CMode. > I don't understand what are the "values" for FileMode (so I can call > openFd). ?? Clearly, the documentation is rather weak. It comes from the Posix "open" function, which is document all over the place, and you can see the code here: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6/packages/unix/System/Posix/IO.hsc After figuring out what you want, I recommend submitting a patch for documentation. Additionally, if what you want can be done in a cross platform way, but lacks the appropriate abstraction layer, I would add a request for this to be fixed.
