=head1 NAME

IO::Zlib - IO:: style interface to L<Compress::Zlib>

=head1 SYNOPSIS

With any version of Perl 5 you can use the basic OO interface:

use IO::Zlib;

$fh = new IO::Zlib;
    if ($fh->open("file.gz", "rb")) {
        print <$fh>;
        $fh->close;
    }

$fh = IO::Zlib->new("file.gz", "wb9");
    if (defined $fh) {
        print $fh "bar\n";
        $fh->close;
    }

$fh = IO::Zlib->new("file.gz", "rb");
    if (defined $fh) {
        print <$fh>;
        undef $fh;       # automatically closes the file
    }

With Perl 5.004 you can also use the TIEHANDLE interface to access
compressed files just like ordinary files:

use IO::Zlib;

tie *FILE, 'IO::Zlib', "file.gz", "wb";
    print FILE "line 1\nline2\n";

tie *FILE, 'IO::Zlib', "file.gz", "rb";
    while (<FILE>) { print "LINE: ", $_ };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<IO::Zlib> provides an IO:: style interface to L<Compress::Zlib> and
hence to gzip/zlib compressed files. It provides many of the same methods
as the L<IO::Handle> interface.

Starting from IO::Zlib version 1.02, IO::Zlib can also use an
external F<gzip> command.  The default behaviour is to try to use
an external F<gzip> if no C<Compress::Zlib> can be loaded, unless
explicitly disabled by

use IO::Zlib qw(:gzip_external 0);

If explicitly enabled by

use IO::Zlib qw(:gzip_external 1);

then the external F<gzip> is used B<instead> of C<Compress::Zlib>.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item new ( [ARGS] )

Creates an C<IO::Zlib> object. If it receives any parameters, they are
passed to the method C<open>; if the open fails, the object is destroyed.
Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.

=back

=head1 OBJECT METHODS

=over 4

=item open ( FILENAME, MODE )

C<open> takes two arguments. The first is the name of the file to open
and the second is the open mode. The mode can be anything acceptable to
L<Compress::Zlib> and by extension anything acceptable to I<zlib> (that
basically means POSIX fopen() style mode strings plus an optional number
to indicate the compression level).

=item opened

Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file.

=item close

Close the file associated with the object and disassociate
the file from the handle.
Done automatically on destroy.

=item getc

Return the next character from the file, or undef if none remain.

=item getline

Return the next line from the file, or undef on end of string.
Can safely be called in an array context.
Currently ignores $/ ($INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR or $RS when L<English>
is in use) and treats lines as delimited by "\n".

=item getlines

Get all remaining lines from the file.
It will croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context.

=item print ( ARGS... )

Print ARGS to the  file.

=item read ( BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET] )

Read some bytes from the file.
Returns the number of bytes actually read, 0 on end-of-file, undef on error.

=item eof

Returns true if the handle is currently positioned at end of file?

=item seek ( OFFSET, WHENCE )

Seek to a given position in the stream.
Not yet supported.

=item tell

Return the current position in the stream, as a numeric offset.
Not yet supported.

=item setpos ( POS )

Set the current position, using the opaque value returned by C<getpos()>.
Not yet supported.

=item getpos ( POS )

Return the current position in the string, as an opaque object.
Not yet supported.

=back

=head1 USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP

If the external F<gzip> is used, the following C<open>s are used:

open(FH, "gzip -dc $filename |")  # for read opens
    open(FH, " | gzip > $filename")   # for write opens

You can modify the 'commands' for example to hardwire
an absolute path by e.g.

use IO::Zlib ':gzip_read_open'  => '/some/where/gunzip -c %s |';
    use IO::Zlib ':gzip_write_open' => '| /some/where/gzip.exe > %s';

The C<%s> is expanded to be the filename (C<sprintf> is used, so be
careful to escape any other C<%> signs).  The 'commands' are checked
for sanity - they must contain the C<%s>, and the read open must end
with the pipe sign, and the write open must begin with the pipe sign.

=head1 CLASS METHODS

=over 4

=item has_Compress_Zlib

Returns true if C<Compress::Zlib> is available.  Note that this does
not mean that C<Compress::Zlib> is being used: see L</gzip_external>
and L<gzip_used>.

=item gzip_external

Undef if an external F<gzip> B<can> be used if C<Compress::Zlib> is
not available (see L</has_Compress_Zlib>), true if an external F<gzip>
is explicitly used, false if an external F<gzip> must not be used.
See L</gzip_used>.

=item gzip_used

True if an external F<gzip> is being used, false if not.

=item gzip_read_open

Return the 'command' being used for opening a file for reading using an
external F<gzip>.

=item gzip_write_open

Return the 'command' being used for opening a file for writing using an
external F<gzip>.

=back

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item IO::Zlib::getlines: must be called in list context

If you want read lines, you must read in list context.

=item IO::Zlib::gzopen_external: mode '...' is illegal

Use only modes 'rb' or 'wb' or /wb[1-9]/.

=item IO::Zlib::import: '...' is illegal

The known import symbols are the C<:gzip_external>, C<:gzip_read_open>,
and C<:gzip_write_open>.  Anything else is not recognized.

=item IO::Zlib::import: ':gzip_external' requires an argument

The C<:gzip_external> requires one boolean argument.

=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read_open' requires an argument

The C<:gzip_external> requires one string argument.

=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_read' '...' is illegal

The C<:gzip_read_open> argument must end with the pipe sign (|)
and have the C<%s> for the filename.  See L</"USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP">.

=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' requires an argument

The C<:gzip_external> requires one string argument.

=item IO::Zlib::import: 'gzip_write_open' '...' is illegal

The C<:gzip_write_open> argument must begin with the pipe sign (|)
and have the C<%s> for the filename.  An output redirect (>) is also
often a good idea, depending on your operating system shell syntax.
See L</"USING THE EXTERNAL GZIP">.

=item IO::Zlib::import: no Compress::Zlib and no external gzip

Given that we failed to load C<Compress::Zlib> and that the use of
 an external F<gzip> was disabled, IO::Zlib has not much chance of working.

=item IO::Zlib::open: needs a filename

No filename, no open.

=item IO::Zlib::READ: NBYTES must be specified

We must know how much to read.

=item IO::Zlib::WRITE: too long LENGTH

The LENGTH must be less than or equal to the buffer size.
