The IO::Like module provides the methods of an IO object based upon on a few
|
|
simple methods provided by the including class: unbuffered_read,
|
|
unbuffered_write, and unbuffered_seek.
|
|
|
|
These methods provide the underlying read, write, and seek support
|
|
respectively, and only the method or methods necessary to the correct
|
|
operation of the IO aspects of the including class need to be provided.
|
|
|
|
Missing functionality will cause the resulting object to appear read-only,
|
|
write-only, and/or unseekable depending on which underlying methods are
|
|
absent.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, read and write operations which are buffered in IO are buffered
|
|
with independently configurable buffer sizes. Duplexed objects (those with
|
|
separate read and write streams) are also supported.
