IPC::Run::IO(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IPC::Run::IO(3pm)
NAME
IPC::Run::IO -- I/O channels for IPC::Run.
SYNOPSIS
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET ON Win32! Win32 does not allow select() on normal file descriptors;
IPC::RUN::IO needs to use IPC::Run::Win32Helper to do this.
use IPC::Run qw( io ) ;
## The sense of '>' and '<' is opposite of perl's open(),
## but agrees with IPC::Run.
$io = io( "filename", '>', \$recv ) ;
$io = io( "filename", 'r', \$recv ) ;
## Append to $recv:
$io = io( "filename", '>>', \$recv ) ;
$io = io( "filename", 'ra', \$recv ) ;
$io = io( "filename", '<', \$send ) ;
$io = io( "filename", 'w', \$send ) ;
$io = io( "filename", '<<', \$send ) ;
$io = io( "filename", 'wa', \$send ) ;
## Handles / IO objects that the caller opens:
$io = io( \*HANDLE, '<', \$send ) ;
$f = IO::Handle->new( ... ) ; # Any subclass of IO::Handle
$io = io( $f, '<', \$send ) ;
require IPC::Run::IO ;
$io = IPC::Run::IO->new( ... ) ;
## Then run(), harness(), or start():
run $io, ... ;
## You can, of course, use io() or IPC::Run::IO->new() as an
## argument to run(), harness, or start():
run io( ... ) ;
DESCRIPTION
This class and module allows filehandles and filenames to be harnessed for I/O when used
IPC::Run, independant of anything else IPC::Run is doing (except that errors & exceptions
can affect all things that IPC::Run is doing).
SUBCLASSING
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the awkwardness introduced in ripping pseudohashes out of
Perl, this class no longer uses the fields pragma.
TODO
Implement bidirectionality.

filename
Gets/sets the filename. Returns the value after the name change, if any.
init
Does initialization required before this can be run. This includes open()ing the
file, if necessary, and clearing the destination scalar if necessary.
open
If a filename was passed in, opens it. Determines if the handle is open via fileno().
Throws an exception on error.
open_pipe
If this is a redirection IO object, this opens the pipe in a platform independant
manner.
close
Closes the handle. Throws an exception on failure.
fileno
Returns the fileno of the handle. Throws an exception on failure.
mode
Returns the operator in terms of 'r', 'w', and 'a'. There is a state 'ra', unlike
Perl's open(), which indicates that data read from the handle or file will be appended
to the output if the output is a scalar. This is only meaningful if the output is a
scalar, it has no effect if the output is a subroutine.
The redirection operators can be a little confusing, so here's a reference table:
> r Read from handle in to process
< w Write from process out to handle
>> ra Read from handle in to process, appending it to existing
data if the destination is a scalar.
<< wa Write from process out to handle, appending to existing
data if IPC::Run::IO opened a named file.
op Returns the operation: '<', '>', '<<', '>>'. See "mode" if you want to spell these
'r', 'w', etc.
binmode
Sets/gets whether this pipe is in binmode or not. No effect off of Win32 OSs, of
course, and on Win32, no effect after the harness is start()ed.
dir Returns the first character of $self->op. This is either "<" or ">".
POD ERRORS
Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:
