package FileHandle; =head1 NAME FileHandle - supply object methods for filehandles =head1 SYNOPSIS use FileHandle; $fh = new FileHandle; if ($fh->open "< file") { print <$fh>; $fh->close; } $fh = new FileHandle "> FOO"; if (defined $fh) { print $fh "bar\n"; $fh->close; } $fh = new FileHandle "file", "r"; if (defined $fh) { print <$fh>; undef $fh; # automatically closes the file } $fh = new FileHandle "file", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND; if (defined $fh) { print $fh "corge\n"; undef $fh; # automatically closes the file } $pos = $fh->getpos; $fh->setpos $pos; $fh->setvbuf($buffer_var, _IOLBF, 1024); ($readfh, $writefh) = FileHandle::pipe; autoflush STDOUT 1; =head1 DESCRIPTION C creates a C, which is a reference to a newly created symbol (see the C package). If it receives any parameters, they are passed to C; if the open fails, the C object is destroyed. Otherwise, it is returned to the caller. C creates a C like C does. It requires two parameters, which are passed to C; if the fdopen fails, the C object is destroyed. Otherwise, it is returned to the caller. C accepts one parameter or two. With one parameter, it is just a front end for the built-in C function. With two parameters, the first parameter is a filename that may include whitespace or other special characters, and the second parameter is the open mode in either Perl form (">", "+<", etc.) or POSIX form ("w", "r+", etc.). C is like C except that its first parameter is not a filename but rather a file handle name, a FileHandle object, or a file descriptor number. If the C functions fgetpos() and fsetpos() are available, then C returns an opaque value that represents the current position of the FileHandle, and C uses that value to return to a previously visited position. If the C function setvbuf() is available, then C sets the buffering policy for the FileHandle. The calling sequence for the Perl function is the same as its C counterpart, including the macros C<_IOFBF>, C<_IOLBF>, and C<_IONBF>, except that the buffer parameter specifies a scalar variable to use as a buffer. WARNING: A variable used as a buffer by C must not be modified in any way until the FileHandle is closed or until C is called again, or memory corruption may result! See L for complete descriptions of each of the following supported C methods, which are just front ends for the corresponding built-in functions: close fileno getc gets eof clearerr seek tell See L for complete descriptions of each of the following supported C methods: autoflush output_field_separator output_record_separator input_record_separator input_line_number format_page_number format_lines_per_page format_lines_left format_name format_top_name format_line_break_characters format_formfeed Furthermore, for doing normal I/O you might need these: =over =item $fh->print See L. =item $fh->printf See L. =item $fh->getline This works like <$fh> described in L except that it's more readable and can be safely called in an array context but still returns just one line. =item $fh->getlines This works like <$fh> when called in an array context to read all the remaining lines in a file, except that it's more readable. It will also croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context. =back =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =head1 BUGS Due to backwards compatibility, all filehandles resemble objects of class C, or actually classes derived from that class. They actually aren't. Which means you can't derive your own class from C and inherit those methods. =cut require 5.000; use vars qw($VERSION @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK $AUTOLOAD); use Carp; use Symbol; use SelectSaver; require Exporter; require DynaLoader; @ISA = qw(Exporter DynaLoader); $VERSION = "1.00" ; @EXPORT = qw(_IOFBF _IOLBF _IONBF); @EXPORT_OK = qw( autoflush output_field_separator output_record_separator input_record_separator input_line_number format_page_number format_lines_per_page format_lines_left format_name format_top_name format_line_break_characters format_formfeed print printf getline getlines ); ################################################ ## If the Fcntl extension is available, ## export its constants. ## sub import { my $pkg = shift; my $callpkg = caller; Exporter::export $pkg, $callpkg; eval { require Fcntl; Exporter::export 'Fcntl', $callpkg; }; }; ################################################ ## Interaction with the XS. ## eval { bootstrap FileHandle; }; if ($@) { *constant = sub { undef }; } sub AUTOLOAD { if ($AUTOLOAD =~ /::(_?[a-z])/) { $AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD = $AUTOLOAD; goto &AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD } my $constname = $AUTOLOAD; $constname =~ s/.*:://; my $val = constant($constname); defined $val or croak "$constname is not a valid FileHandle macro"; *$AUTOLOAD = sub { $val }; goto &$AUTOLOAD; } ################################################ ## Constructors, destructors. ## sub new { @_ >= 1 && @_ <= 3 or croak 'usage: new FileHandle [FILENAME [,MODE]]'; my $class = shift; my $fh = gensym; if (@_) { FileHandle::open($fh, @_) or return undef; } bless $fh, $class; } sub new_from_fd { @_ == 3 or croak 'usage: new_from_fd FileHandle FD, MODE'; my $class = shift; my $fh = gensym; FileHandle::fdopen($fh, @_) or return undef; bless $fh, $class; } sub DESTROY { my ($fh) = @_; close($fh); } ################################################ ## Open and close. ## sub pipe { @_ and croak 'usage: FileHandle::pipe()'; my $readfh = new FileHandle; my $writefh = new FileHandle; pipe($readfh, $writefh) or return undef; ($readfh, $writefh); } sub _open_mode_string { my ($mode) = @_; $mode =~ /^\+?(<|>>?)$/ or $mode =~ s/^r(\+?)$/$1/ or $mode =~ s/^a(\+?)$/$1>>/ or croak "FileHandle: bad open mode: $mode"; $mode; } sub open { @_ >= 2 && @_ <= 4 or croak 'usage: $fh->open(FILENAME [,MODE [,PERMS]])'; my ($fh, $file) = @_; if (@_ > 2) { my ($mode, $perms) = @_[2, 3]; if ($mode =~ /^\d+$/) { defined $perms or $perms = 0666; return sysopen($fh, $file, $mode, $perms); } $file = "./" . $file unless $file =~ m#^/#; $file = _open_mode_string($mode) .
