Detailed Description

Tie a buffer to an IO handle.

Read operations will read from a given buffer, write operations write into an in-memory buffer.

Member Function Documentation

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::buffer

(

scalar

buffer

)

Get/set the buffer contents.

If called with a buffer (string) as an argument the buffer for future read operations is set to the given string. If called without a parameter the current contents of the buffer is returned.

Parameters

buffer

(optional) buffer contents

Returns

current buffer contents

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::READ	(	undef	,
		scalar	len,
		scalar	offset
	)

Reads some content from the buffer.

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::READLINE

(

)

Reads a line from the buffer.

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::SEEK	(	scalar	where,
		scalar	whence
	)

Sets the current read/write position.

Parameters are like for seek().

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::TELL

(

)

Returns

the current read/write position

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::TIEHANDLE	(	scalar	class,
		scalar	buffer
	)

retval BigSWAF::TieBuffer::WRITE

(

)

Write some contents into the buffer.
