Reads the value from the Ref.
Atomically modifies the Ref with the specified function, which computes
a return value for the modification.
Atomically modifies the Ref with the specified function, which computes
a return value for the modification. This is a more powerful version of
update.
Writes a new value to the Ref, with a guarantee of immediate
consistency (at some cost to performance).
Writes a new value to the Ref without providing a guarantee of
immediate consistency.
Atomically modifies the Ref with the specified function.
Atomically modifies the Ref with the specified function. This is not
implemented in terms of modify purely for performance reasons.
A mutable atomic reference for the
IOmonad. This is theIOequivalent of a volatilevar, augmented with atomic operations, which make it useful as a reasonably efficient (if low-level) concurrency primitive.
