val read : string -> Cmi_format.cmi_infos option * cmt_infos option

read filename opens filename, and extract both the cmi_infos, if it exists, and the cmt_infos, if it exists. Thus, it can be used with .cmi, .cmt and .cmti files.

.cmti files always contain a cmi_infos at the beginning. .cmt files only contain a cmi_infos at the beginning if there is no associated .cmti file.

val read_cmt : string -> cmt_infos
val read_cmi : string -> Cmi_format.cmi_infos
val save_cmt : string -> string -> binary_annots -> string option -> Env.t -> Cmi_format.cmi_infos option -> unit

save_cmt filename modname binary_annots sourcefile initial_env cmi writes a cmt(i) file.
