okay so status is literally this type, no cap:

type status =
 | Uninitialised
 | Bad_term
 | Good_term

and here’s the whole val lineup, exact signatures and all 👑:

• val setup : out_channel -> status — takes an out_channel and gives you back a status.
• val num_lines : out_channel -> int — takes an out_channel and gives you back an int.
• val backup : out_channel -> int -> unit — takes an out_channel and an int, returns unit.
• val standout : out_channel -> bool -> unit — takes an out_channel and a bool, returns unit.
• val resume : out_channel -> int -> unit — takes an out_channel and an int, returns unit.
