Control.Monad.IO.Class

Description

Class of monads based on IO.

Synopsis

Documentation

class Monad m => MonadIO m where #

Monads in which IO computations may be embedded. Any monad built by applying a sequence of monad transformers to the IO monad will be an instance of this class.

Instances should satisfy the following laws, which state that liftIO is a transformer of monads:

```
liftIO . return = return
```

liftIO (m >>= f) = liftIO m >>= (liftIO . f)

Minimal complete definition

liftIO

Methods

liftIO :: IO a -> m a #

Lift a computation from the IO monad.
