mving files

Moves directories and files to /tmp for faster execution than rm -rf

Why

To finally get a native reason program running in 2022.

Usage

# Provide a mixed list of directories and/or files
$ mvf node_modules dist tmp-file.txt

Environment setup

1. Ensure you have esy installed and available globally

$ pnpm i --global esy

2. Bootstrap with esy

install deps and build.

$ esy

Building

To emit the executable we use esy to run dune to get the right resolutions to the reason libraries we link in the dune file.

$ esy dune build

This will compile source into an executable to ./_esy/default/build/default/src/Main.exe — mirroring the src directory structure.

Running the executable

For full OS permissions, run the built executable directly instead of using esy

$ ./_esy/default/build/default/src/Main.exe node_modules dist

Development

The following command will execute the program with esy, but this is a sandboxed environment and will not allow the program to have filesystem access.

$ esy b dune exec ./src/Main.exe
