11=head1 NAME
12
13IO::Zlib - IO:: style interface to L<Compress::Zlib>
14
15=head1 SYNOPSIS
16
17With any version of Perl 5 you can use the basic OO interface:
18
19 use IO::Zlib;
20
21 $fh = new IO::Zlib;
22 if ($fh->open("file.gz", "rb")) {
23 print <$fh>;
24 $fh->close;
25 }
26
27 $fh = IO::Zlib->new("file.gz", "wb9");
28 if (defined $fh) {
29 print $fh "bar\n";
30 $fh->close;
31 }
32
33 $fh = IO::Zlib->new("file.gz", "rb");
34 if (defined $fh) {
35 print <$fh>;
36 undef $fh; # automatically closes the file
37 }
38
39With Perl 5.004 you can also use the TIEHANDLE interface to access
40compressed files just like ordinary files:
41
42 use IO::Zlib;
43
44 tie *FILE, 'IO::Zlib', "file.gz", "wb";
45 print FILE "line 1\nline2\n";
46
47 tie *FILE, 'IO::Zlib', "file.gz", "rb";
48 while (<FILE>) { print "LINE: ", $_ };
49
50=head1 DESCRIPTION
51
52C<IO::Zlib> provides an IO:: style interface to L<Compress::Zlib> and
53hence to gzip/zlib compressed files. It provides many of the same methods
54as the L<IO::Handle> interface.
55
56Starting from IO::Zlib version 1.02, IO::Zlib can also use an
57external F<gzip> command. The default behaviour is to try to use
58an external F<gzip> if no C<Compress::Zlib> can be loaded, unless
59explicitly disabled by
60
61 use IO::Zlib qw(:gzip_external 0);
62
63If explicitly enabled by
64
65 use IO::Zlib qw(:gzip_external 1);
66
67then the external F<gzip> is used B<instead> of C<Compress::Zlib>.
68
69=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
70
71=over 4
72
73=item new ( [ARGS] )
74
75Creates an C<IO::Zlib> object. If it receives any parameters, they are
76passed to the method C<open>; if the open fails, the object is destroyed.
77Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
78
79=back
80
81=head1 OBJECT METHODS
82
83=over 4
84
85=item open ( FILENAME, MODE )
86
87C<open> takes two arguments. The first is the name of the file to open
88and the second is the open mode. The mode can be anything acceptable to
89L<Compress::Zlib> and by extension anything acceptable to I<zlib> (that
90basically means POSIX fopen() style mode strings plus an optional number
91to indicate the compression level).
92
93=item opened
94
95Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file.
96
97=item close
98
99Close the file associated with the object and disassociate
100the file from the handle.
101Done automatically on destroy.
102
103=item getc
104
105Return the next character from the file, or undef if none remain.
106
107=item getline
108
109Return the next line from the file, or undef on end of string.
110Can safely be called in an array context.
111Currently ignores $/ ($INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR or $RS when L<English>
112is in use) and treats lines as delimited by "\n".
113
114=item getlines
115
116Get all remaining lines from the file.
117It will croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context.
118
119=item print ( ARGS... )
120
121Print ARGS to the file.
122
123=item read ( BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET] )
124
125Read some bytes from the file.
126Returns the number of bytes actually read, 0 on end-of-file, undef on error.
127
128=item eof
129
130Returns true if the handle is currently positioned at end of file?
131
132=item seek ( OFFSET, WHENCE )
133
134Seek to a given position in the stream.
135Not yet supported.
136
137=item tell
138
139Return the current position in the stream, as a numeric offset.
140Not yet supported.
141
142=item setpos ( POS )
143
144Set the current position, using the opaque value returned by C<getpos()>.
145Not yet supported.
146
147=item getpos ( POS )
148
149Return the current position in the string, as an opaque object.
150Not yet supported.
151
152=back
153
154=head1 USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP
155
156If the external F<gzip> is used, the following C<open>s are used:
157
158 open(FH, "gzip -dc $filename |") # for read opens
159 open(FH, " | gzip > $filename") # for write opens
160
161You can modify the 'commands' for example to hardwire
162an absolute path by e.g.
163
164 use IO::Zlib ':gzip_read_open' => '/some/where/gunzip -c %s |';
165 use IO::Zlib ':gzip_write_open' => '| /some/where/gzip.exe > %s';
166
167The C<%s> is expanded to be the filename (C<sprintf> is used, so be
168careful to escape any other C<%> signs). The 'commands' are checked
169for sanity - they must contain the C<%s>, and the read open must end
170with the pipe sign, and the write open must begin with the pipe sign.
171
172=head1 CLASS METHODS
173
174=over 4
175
176=item has_Compress_Zlib
177
178Returns true if C<Compress::Zlib> is available. Note that this does
179not mean that C<Compress::Zlib> is being used: see L</gzip_external>
180and L<gzip_used>.
181
182=item gzip_external
183
184Undef if an external F<gzip> B<can> be used if C<Compress::Zlib> is
185not available (see L</has_Compress_Zlib>), true if an external F<gzip>
186is explicitly used, false if an external F<gzip> must not be used.
187See L</gzip_used>.
188
189=item gzip_used
190
191True if an external F<gzip> is being used, false if not.
192
193=item gzip_read_open
194
195Return the 'command' being used for opening a file for reading using an
196external F<gzip>.
197
198=item gzip_write_open
199
200Return the 'command' being used for opening a file for writing using an
201external F<gzip>.

204
205=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
206
207=over 4
208
209=item IO::Zlib::getlines: must be called in list context
210
211If you want read lines, you must read in list context.
212
213=item IO::Zlib::gzopen_external: mode '...' is illegal
214
215Use only modes 'rb' or 'wb' or /wb[1-9]/.
216
217=item IO::Zlib::import: '...' is illegal
218
219The known import symbols are the C<:gzip_external>, C<:gzip_read_open>,
220and C<:gzip_write_open>. Anything else is not recognized.
221
222=item IO::Zlib::import: ':gzip_external' requires an argument
223
224The C<:gzip_external> requires one boolean argument.
225
226=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read_open' requires an argument
227
228The C<:gzip_external> requires one string argument.
229
230=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read' '...' is illegal
231
232The C<:gzip_read_open> argument must end with the pipe sign (|)
233and have the C<%s> for the filename. See L</"USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP">.
234
235=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' requires an argument
236
237The C<:gzip_external> requires one string argument.
238
239=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' '...' is illegal
240
241The C<:gzip_write_open> argument must begin with the pipe sign (|)
242and have the C<%s> for the filename. An output redirect (>) is also
243often a good idea, depending on your operating system shell syntax.
244See L</"USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP">.
245
246=item IO::Zlib::import: no Compress::Zlib and no external gzip
247
248Given that we failed to load C<Compress::Zlib> and that the use of
249 an external F<gzip> was disabled, IO::Zlib has not much chance of working.
250
251=item IO::Zlib::open: needs a filename
252
253No filename, no open.
254
255=item IO::Zlib::READ: NBYTES must be specified
256
257We must know how much to read.
258
259=item IO::Zlib::READ: OFFSET is not supported
260
261Offsets of gzipped streams are not supported.
262
263=item IO::Zlib::WRITE: too long LENGTH
264
265The LENGTH must be less than or equal to the buffer size.
266
267=item IO::Zlib::WRITE: OFFSET is not supported
268
269Offsets of gzipped streams are not supported.
