Each -element in the array corresponds to a record in the file. The first -line of the file is element 0 of the array; the second line is element -1, and so on. - -The file is I<not> loaded into memory, so this will work even for -gigantic files. - -Changes to the array are reflected in the file immediately. - -Lazy people and beginners may now stop reading the manual. - -=head2 C<recsep> - -What is a 'record'? By default, the meaning is the same as for the -C<E<lt>...E<gt>> operator: It's a string terminated by C<$/>, which is -probably C<"\n">. (Minor exception: on DOS and Win32 systems, a -'record' is a string terminated by C<"\r\n">.) You may change the -definition of "record" by supplying the C<recsep> option in the C<tie> -call: - - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, recsep => 'es'; - -This says that records are delimited by the string C<es>. If the file -contained the following data: - - Curse these pesky flies!\n - -then the C<@array> would appear to have four elements: - - "Curse th" - "e p" - "ky fli" - "!\n" - -An undefined value is not permitted as a record separator. Perl's -special "paragraph mode" semantics (E<agrave> la C<$/ = "">) are not -emulated. - -Records read from the tied array do not have the record separator -string on the end; this is to allow - - $array[17] .= "extra"; - -to work as expected. - -(See L<"autochomp">, below.) Records stored into the array will have -the record separator string appended before they are written to the -file, if they don't have one already. For example, if the record -separator string is C<"\n">, then the following two lines do exactly -the same thing: - - $array[17] = "Cherry pie"; - $array[17] = "Cherry pie\n"; - -The result is that the contents of line 17 of the file will be -replaced with "Cherry pie"; a newline character will separate line 17 -from line 18. This means that this code will do nothing: - - chomp $array[17]; - -Because the C<chomp>ed value will have the separator reattached when -it is written back to the file. There is no way to create a file -whose trailing record separator string is missing. - -Inserting records that I<contain> the record separator string is not -supported by this module. It will probably produce a reasonable -result, but what this result will be may change in a future version. -Use 'splice' to insert records or to replace one record with several. - -=head2 C<autochomp> - -Normally, array elements have the record separator removed, so that if -the file contains the text - - Gold - Frankincense - Myrrh - -the tied array will appear to contain C<("Gold", "Frankincense", -"Myrrh")>. If you set C<autochomp> to a false value, the record -separator will not be removed. If the file above was tied with - - tie @gifts, "Tie::File", $gifts, autochomp => 0; - -then the array C<@gifts> would appear to contain C<("Gold\n", -"Frankincense\n", "Myrrh\n")>, or (on Win32 systems) C<("Gold\r\n", -"Frankincense\r\n", "Myrrh\r\n")>. - -=head2 C<mode> - -Normally, the specified file will be opened for read and write access, -and will be created if it does not exist. (That is, the flags -C<O_RDWR | O_CREAT> are supplied in the C<open> call.) If you want to -change this, you may supply alternative flags in the C<mode> option. -See L<Fcntl> for a listing of available flags. -For example: - - # open the file if it exists, but fail if it does not exist - use Fcntl 'O_RDWR'; - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, mode => O_RDWR; - - # create the file if it does not exist - use Fcntl 'O_RDWR', 'O_CREAT'; - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, mode => O_RDWR | O_CREAT; - - # open an existing file in read-only mode - use Fcntl 'O_RDONLY'; - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, mode => O_RDONLY; - -Opening the data file in write-only or append mode is not supported. - -=head2 C<memory> - -This is an upper limit on the amount of memory that C<Tie::File> will -consume at any time while managing the file. This is used for two -things: managing the I<read cache> and managing the I<deferred write -buffer>. - -Records read in from the file are cached, to avoid having to re-read -them repeatedly. If you read the same record twice, the first time it -will be stored in memory, and the second time it will be fetched from -the I<read cache>. The amount of data in the read cache will not -exceed the value you specified for C<memory>. If C<Tie::File> wants -to cache a new record, but the read cache is full, it will make room -by expiring the least-recently visited records from the read cache. - -The default memory limit is 2Mib. You can adjust the maximum read -cache size by supplying the C<memory> option. The argument is the -desired cache size, in bytes. - - # I have a lot of memory, so use a large cache to speed up access - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, memory => 20_000_000; - -Setting the memory limit to 0 will inhibit caching; records will be -fetched from disk every time you examine them. - -The C<memory> value is not an absolute or exact limit on the memory -used. C<Tie::File> objects contains some structures besides the read -cache and the deferred write buffer, whose sizes are not charged -against C<memory>. - -The cache itself consumes about 310 bytes per cached record, so if -your file has many short records, you may want to decrease the cache -memory limit, or else the cache overhead may exceed the size of the -cached data. - - -=head2 C<dw_size> - -(This is an advanced feature. Skip this section on first reading.) - -If you use deferred writing (See L<"Deferred Writing">, below) then -data you write into the array will not be written directly to the -file; instead, it will be saved in the I<deferred write buffer> to be -written out later. Data in the deferred write buffer is also charged -against the memory limit you set with the C<memory> option. - -You may set the C<dw_size> option to limit the amount of data that can -be saved in the deferred write buffer. This limit may not exceed the -total memory limit. For example, if you set C<dw_size> to 1000 and -C<memory> to 2500, that means that no more than 1000 bytes of deferred -writes will be saved up. The space available for the read cache will -vary, but it will always be at least 1500 bytes (if the deferred write -buffer is full) and it could grow as large as 2500 bytes (if the -deferred write buffer is empty.) - -If you don't specify a C<dw_size>, it defaults to the entire memory -limit. - -=head2 Option Format - -C<-mode> is a synonym for C<mode>. C<-recsep> is a synonym for -C<recsep>. C<-memory> is a synonym for C<memory>. You get the -idea. - -=head1 Public Methods - -The C<tie> call returns an object, say C<$o>. You may call - - $rec = $o->FETCH($n); - $o->STORE($n, $rec); - -to fetch or store the record at line C<$n>, respectively; similarly -the other tied array methods. (See L<perltie> for details.) You may -also call the following methods on this object: - -=head2 C<flock> - - $o->flock(MODE) - -will lock the tied file. C<MODE> has the same meaning as the second -argument to the Perl built-in C<flock> function; for example -C<LOCK_SH> or C<LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB>. (These constants are provided by -the C<use Fcntl ':flock'> declaration.) - -C<MODE> is optional; the default is C<LOCK_EX>. - -C<Tie::File> maintains an internal table of the byte offset of each -record it has seen in the file. - -When you use C<flock> to lock the file, C<Tie::File> assumes that the -read cache is no longer trustworthy, because another process might -have modified the file since the last time it was read. Therefore, a -successful call to C<flock> discards the contents of the read cache -and the internal record offset table. - -C<Tie::File> promises that the following sequence of operations will -be safe: - - my $o = tie @array, "Tie::File", $filename; - $o->flock; - -In particular, C<Tie::File> will I<not> read or write the file during -the C<tie> call. (Exception: Using C<mode =E<gt> O_TRUNC> will, of -course, erase the file during the C<tie> call. If you want to do this -safely, then open the file without C<O_TRUNC>, lock the file, and use -C<@array = ()>.) - -The best way to unlock a file is to discard the object and untie the -array. It is probably unsafe to unlock the file without also untying -it, because if you do, changes may remain unwritten inside the object. -That is why there is no shortcut for unlocking. If you really want to -unlock the file prematurely, you know what to do; if you don't know -what to do, then don't do it. - -All the usual warnings about file locking apply here. In particular, -note that file locking in Perl is B<advisory>, which means that -holding a lock will not prevent anyone else from reading, writing, or -erasing the file; it only prevents them from getting another lock at -the same time. Locks are analogous to green traffic lights: If you -have a green light, that does not prevent the idiot coming the other -way from plowing into you sideways; it merely guarantees to you that -the idiot does not also have a green light at the same time. - -=head2 C<autochomp> - - my $old_value = $o->autochomp(0); # disable autochomp option - my $old_value = $o->autochomp(1); # enable autochomp option - - my $ac = $o->autochomp(); # recover current value - -See L<"autochomp">, above. - -=head2 C<defer>, C<flush>, C<discard>, and C<autodefer> - -See L<"Deferred Writing">, below. - -=head2 C<offset> - - $off = $o->offset($n); - -This method returns the byte offset of the start of the C<$n>th record -in the file. If there is no such record, it returns an undefined -value. - -=head1 Tying to an already-opened filehandle - -If C<$fh> is a filehandle, such as is returned by C<IO::File> or one -of the other C<IO> modules, you may use: - - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $fh, ...; - -Similarly if you opened that handle C<FH> with regular C<open> or -C<sysopen>, you may use: - - tie @array, 'Tie::File', \*FH, ...; - -Handles that were opened write-only won't work. Handles that were -opened read-only will work as long as you don't try to modify the -array. Handles must be attached to seekable sources of data---that -means no pipes or sockets. If C<Tie::File> can detect that you -supplied a non-seekable handle, the C<tie> call will throw an -exception. (On Unix systems, it can detect this.) - -Note that Tie::File will only close any filehandles that it opened -internally. If you passed it a filehandle as above, you "own" the -filehandle, and are responsible for closing it after you have untied -the @array. - -=head1 Deferred Writing - -(This is an advanced feature. Skip this section on first reading.) - -Normally, modifying a C<Tie::File> array writes to the underlying file -immediately. Every assignment like C<$a[3] = ...> rewrites as much of -the file as is necessary; typically, everything from line 3 through -the end will need to be rewritten. This is the simplest and most -transparent behavior. Performance even for large files is reasonably -good. - -However, under some circumstances, this behavior may be excessively -slow. For example, suppose you have a million-record file, and you -want to do: - - for (@FILE) { - $_ = "> $_"; - } - -The first time through the loop, you will rewrite the entire file, -from line 0 through the end. The second time through the loop, you -will rewrite the entire file from line 1 through the end. The third -time through the loop, you will rewrite the entire file from line 2 to -the end. And so on. - -If the performance in such cases is unacceptable, you may defer the -actual writing, and then have it done all at once. The following loop -will perform much better for large files: - - (tied @a)->defer; - for (@a) { - $_ = "> $_"; - } - (tied @a)->flush; - -If C<Tie::File>'s memory limit is large enough, all the writing will -done in memory. Then, when you call C<-E<gt>flush>, the entire file -will be rewritten in a single pass. - -(Actually, the preceding discussion is something of a fib. You don't -need to enable deferred writing to get good performance for this -common case, because C<Tie::File> will do it for you automatically -unless you specifically tell it not to. See L<"autodeferring">, -below.) - -Calling C<-E<gt>flush> returns the array to immediate-write mode. If -you wish to discard the deferred writes, you may call C<-E<gt>discard> -instead of C<-E<gt>flush>. Note that in some cases, some of the data -will have been written already, and it will be too late for -C<-E<gt>discard> to discard all the changes. Support for -C<-E<gt>discard> may be withdrawn in a future version of C<Tie::File>. - -Deferred writes are cached in memory up to the limit specified by the -C<dw_size> option (see above). If the deferred-write buffer is full -and you try to write still more deferred data, the buffer will be -flushed. All buffered data will be written immediately, the buffer -will be emptied, and the now-empty space will be used for future -deferred writes. - -If the deferred-write buffer isn't yet full, but the total size of the -buffer and the read cache would exceed the C<memory> limit, the oldest -records will be expired from the read cache until the total size is -under the limit. - -C<push>, C<pop>, C<shift>, C<unshift>, and C<splice> cannot be -deferred. When you perform one of these operations, any deferred data -is written to the file and the operation is performed immediately. -This may change in a future version. - -If you resize the array with deferred writing enabled, the file will -be resized immediately, but deferred records will not be written. -This has a surprising consequence: C<@a = (...)> erases the file -immediately, but the writing of the actual data is deferred. This -might be a bug. If it is a bug, it will be fixed in a future version. - -=head2 Autodeferring - -C<Tie::File> tries to guess when deferred writing might be helpful, -and to turn it on and off automatically. - - for (@a) { - $_ = "> $_"; - } - -In this example, only the first two assignments will be done -immediately; after this, all the changes to the file will be deferred -up to the user-specified memory limit. - -You should usually be able to ignore this and just use the module -without thinking about deferring. However, special applications may -require fine control over which writes are deferred, or may require -that all writes be immediate. To disable the autodeferment feature, -use - - (tied @o)->autodefer(0); - -or - - tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, autodefer => 0; - - -Similarly, C<-E<gt>autodefer(1)> re-enables autodeferment, and -C<-E<gt>autodefer()> recovers the current value of the autodefer setting. - - -=head1 CONCURRENT ACCESS TO FILES - -Caching and deferred writing are inappropriate if you want the same -file to be accessed simultaneously from more than one process. Other -optimizations performed internally by this module are also -incompatible with concurrent access. A future version of this module will -support a C<concurrent =E<gt> 1> option that enables safe concurrent access. - -Previous versions of this documentation suggested using C<memory -=E<gt> 0> for safe concurrent access. This was mistaken. Tie::File -will not support safe concurrent access before version 0.98. - -=head1 CAVEATS - -(That's Latin for 'warnings'.) - -=over 4 - -=item * - -Reasonable effort was made to make this module efficient. Nevertheless, -changing the size of a record in the middle of a large file will -always be fairly slow, because everything after the new record must be -moved. - -=item * - -The behavior of tied arrays is not precisely the same as for regular -arrays. For example: - - # This DOES print "How unusual!" - undef $a[10]; print "How unusual!\n" if defined $a[10]; - -C<undef>-ing a C<Tie::File> array element just blanks out the -corresponding record in the file. When you read it back again, you'll -get the empty string, so the supposedly-C<undef>'ed value will be -defined. Similarly, if you have C<autochomp> disabled, then - - # This DOES print "How unusual!" if 'autochomp' is disabled - undef $a[10]; - print "How unusual!\n" if $a[10]; - -Because when C<autochomp> is disabled, C<$a[10]> will read back as -C<"\n"> (or whatever the record separator string is.) - -There are other minor differences, particularly regarding C<exists> -and C<delete>, but in general, the correspondence is extremely close. - -=item * - -I have supposed that since this module is concerned with file I/O, -almost all normal use of it will be heavily I/O bound. This means -that the time to maintain complicated data structures inside the -module will be dominated by the time to actually perform the I/O. -When there was an opportunity to spend CPU time to avoid doing I/O, I -usually tried to take it. - -=item * - -You might be tempted to think that deferred writing is like -transactions, with C<flush> as C<commit> and C<discard> as -C<rollback>, but it isn't, so don't. - -=item * - -There is a large memory overhead for each record offset and for each -cache entry: about 310 bytes per cached data record, and about 21 bytes per offset table entry. - -The per-record overhead will limit the maximum number of records you -can access per file. Note that I<accessing> the length of the array -via C<$x = scalar @tied_file> accesses B<all> records and stores their -offsets. The same for C<foreach (@tied_file)>, even if you exit the -loop early. - -=back - -=head1 SUBCLASSING - -This version promises absolutely nothing about the internals, which -may change without notice. A future version of the module will have a -well-defined and stable subclassing API. - -=head1 WHAT ABOUT C<DB_File>? - -People sometimes point out that L<DB_File> will do something similar, -and ask why C<Tie::File> module is necessary. - -There are a number of reasons that you might prefer C<Tie::File>. -A list is available at C<http://perl.plover.com/TieFile/why-not-DB_File>. - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Mark Jason Dominus - -To contact the author, send email to: C<mjd-perl-tiefile+@plover.com> - -To receive an announcement whenever a new version of this module is -released, send a blank email message to -C<mjd-perl-tiefile-subscribe@plover.com>. - -The most recent version of this module, including documentation and -any news of importance, will be available at - - http://perl.plover.com/TieFile/ - - -=head1 LICENSE - -C<Tie::File> version 0.97 is copyright (C) 2003 Mark Jason Dominus. - -This library is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify -it under the same terms as Perl itself. - -These terms are your choice of any of (1) the Perl Artistic Licence, -or (2) version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the -Free Software Foundation, or (3) any later version of the GNU General -Public License. - -This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, -but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(Usually the rule is "choose any one.") -Also big thanks to Abhijit Menon-Sen for all of the same things. - -Special thanks to Craig Berry and Peter Prymmer (for VMS portability -help), Randy Kobes (for Win32 portability help), Clinton Pierce and -Autrijus Tang (for heroic eleventh-hour Win32 testing above and beyond -the call of duty), Michael G Schwern (for testing advice), and the -rest of the CPAN testers (for testing generally). - -Special thanks to Tels for suggesting several speed and memory -optimizations. - -Additional thanks to: -Edward Avis / -Mattia Barbon / -Tom Christiansen / -Gerrit Haase / -Gurusamy Sarathy / -Jarkko Hietaniemi (again) / -Nikola Knezevic / -John Kominetz / -Nick Ing-Simmons / -Tassilo von Parseval / -H.

(Stuff I didn't think of yet.) - -Paragraph mode? - -Fixed-length mode. Leave-blanks mode. - -Maybe an autolocking mode? - -For many common uses of the module, the read cache is a liability. -For example, a program that inserts a single record, or that scans the -file once, will have a cache hit rate of zero. This suggests a major -optimization: The cache should be initially disabled. Here's a hybrid -approach: Initially, the cache is disabled, but the cache code -maintains statistics about how high the hit rate would be *if* it were -enabled. When it sees the hit rate get high enough, it enables -itself. The STAT comments in this code are the beginning of an -implementation of this. - -Record locking with fcntl()? Then the module might support an undo -log and get real transactions. What a tour de force that would be. - -Keeping track of the highest cached record. This would allow reads-in-a-row -to skip the cache lookup faster (if reading from 1..N with empty cache at -start, the last cached value will be always N-1). - -More tests. - -=cut - |
