NAME
POE::Pipe::OneWay - a portable API for one-way pipesSYNOPSIS
my ($read, $write) = POE::Pipe::OneWay->new(); die "couldn't create a pipe: $!" unless defined $read;
DESCRIPTION
The right way to create an anonymous pipe varies from one operating system to the next. Some operating systems support "pipe()". Others require "socketpair()". And a few operating systems support neither, so a plain old socket must be created.POE::Pipe::OneWay will attempt to create a unidirectional pipe using "pipe()", "socketpair()", and IO::Socket::INET, in that order. Exceptions are hardcoded for operating systems with broken or nonstandard behaviors.
The upshot of all this is that an application can portably create a one-way pipe by instantiating POE::Pipe::OneWay. The work of deciding how to create the pipe and opening the handles will be taken care of internally.
POE::Pipe::OneWay may be used outside of POE, as it doesn't use POE internally.
PUBLIC METHODS
new [TYPE]
Create a new one-way pipe, optionally constraining it to a particular TYPE of pipe. One-way pipes have two ends: a ``read'' end and a ``write'' end. On success, new() returns two handles: one for the ``read'' end and one for the ``write'' end. Returns nothing on failure, and sets $! to explain why the constructor failed.my ($read, $write) = POE::Pipe::OneWay->new(); die $! unless defined $read;
TYPE may be one of ``pipe'', ``socketpair'', or ``inet''. When set, POE::Pipe::OneWay will constrain its search to either "pipe()", a UNIX-domain "socketpair()", or plain old sockets, respectively. Otherwise new() will try each method in order, or a particular method predetermined to be the best one for the current operating environment.
BUGS
POE::Pipe::OneWay may block up to one second on some systems if failure occurs while trying to create ``inet'' sockets.SEE ALSO
