Capsule_expert.DataPointers to data within a capsule.
('a, 'k) t is the type of 'as within the capsule 'k. It can be passed between threads. Operations on ('a, 'k) t require a 'k Password.t associated with the capsule 'k.
wrap ~access v returns a pointer to the value v, which lives in the capsule 'k. 'k is always the current capsule.
unwrap ~access t returns the value of t, which lives in the capsule 'k. 'k is always the current capsule.
Like wrap, but for unique values.
Like unwrap, but for unique values.
Like wrap, but for once values.
Like unwrap, but for once values.
val wrap_once_unique :

val unwrap_once_unique :

('a, 'k) t @ unique once ->
'a @ unique once @@ portableLike unwrap, but for once unique values.
unwrap_shared ~access t returns the shared value of t, which lives in the capsule 'k. 'k is always the current capsule. Since 'a may have been shared with other threads, 'a must cross portability.
val create : (unit -> 'a) @ local once portable -> ('a, 'k) t @@ portablecreate f runs f within the capsule 'k and returns a pointer to the result of f.
val create_once :
(unit -> 'a @ once) @ local once portable ->
('a, 'k) t @ once @@ portableLike create, but for once values.
val create_unique :
(unit -> 'a @ unique) @ local once portable ->
('a, 'k) t @ unique @@ portablecreate_unique f runs f within the capsule 'k and returns a pointer to the result of f.
val map :
password:'k Password.t @ local ->

(('a, 'k) t ->
('b, 'k) t) @ local once) @ local @@ portablemap ~password ~f t applies f to the value of p within the capsule 'k and returns a pointer to the result.
both t1 t2 is a pointer to a pair of the values of t1 and t2.
fst t gives a pointer to the first value inside t
snd t gives a pointer to the second value inside t
val extract :

(f:('a -> 'b @ unique once portable contended) @ local once portable ->
(('a, 'k) t ->
'b @ unique once portable contended) @ local once) @ local @@ portableextract ~password ~f t applies f to the value of t within the capsule 'k and returns the result. The result is within 'k so must be portable and is marked contended.
val inject : 'a 'k. 'a @ portable -> ('a, 'k) t @@ portableinject v creates a pointer to a value v injected into the capsule 'k. It's a specialization of create to values that are always uncontended.
val project : 'a 'k. ('a, 'k) t -> 'a @ contended @@ portableproject t returns the value of t. The result is within 'k, so is marked contended. The value is required to always be portable, so unlike extract, project does not require permission to access 'k. This is safe because all accesses to the value happen only after it's marked contended.
project_shared ~key t is like project t, but since t is a capsule associated with a key @ aliased global, the contents can be returned at shared.
val bind :
password:'k Password.t @ local ->
(f:('a -> ('b, 'j) t) @ local once portable ->
(('a, 'k) t ->

val iter :
password:'k Password.t @ local ->
(f:('a -> unit) @ local once portable ->
(('a, 'k) t ->
unit) @ local once) @ local @@ portableiter is extract with result type specialized to unit.
map_shared ~password ~f t applies f to the shared parts of t within the capsule 'k and returns a pointer to the result. Since 'a may have been shared with other threads, 'a must cross portability.
extract_shared ~password ~f t applies f to the shared parts of t within the capsule 'k and returns the result. The result is within 'k so must be portable and is marked contended. Since 'a may have been shared with other threads, 'a must cross portability.
