Subject: [Caml-list] Why is there no Marshal.(from_fd|to_fd)

Hello,

Sorry for the maybe stupid question.

I mean fd has type Unix.file_descr.

I am just wondering why marshaling has to always go through an in or 
out_channel.

Is it just so that there is not dependency between the Marshal and the 
Unix module?

I am worried about the data copying that might happen because
of the channel interposed between me and my file.

Regards,
F.
