DESCRIPTION
Provides unbuffered blocking I/O functions to read and write FastCGI messages.
FUNCTIONS
read_header
Attempts to read a "FCGI_Header" from file handle $fh.
Usage
($type, $request_id, $content_length, $padding_length)= read_header($fh);$header = read_header($fh);say $header->{type};say $header->{request_id};say $header->{content_length};say $header->{padding_length};
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to read from. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor. File handle mode should be set to binary.
Returns
Upon successful completion, the return value of "parse_header" in Net::FastCGI::Protocol. Otherwise, a false value ("undef" in scalar context and an empty list in list context).
If "read_header" reaches end-of-file before reading any octets, it returns a false value. If unsuccessful, "read_header" returns a false value and $! contains the error from the "sysread" call. If "read_header" encounters end-of-file after some but not all of the needed octets, the function returns a false value and sets $! to "EPIPE".
Implementation
The implementation calls "sysread" in a loop, restarting if "sysread" returns "undef" with $! set to "EINTR". If "sysread" does not provide all the requested octets, "read_header" continues to call "sysread" until either all the octets have been read, reaches end-of-file or an error occurs.
read_record
Attempts to read a "FCGI_Record" from file handle $fh.
Usage
($type, $request_id, $content)= read_record($fh);$record = read_record($fh);say $record->{type};say $record->{request_id};
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to read from. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor. File handle mode should be set to binary.
Returns
Upon successful completion, the return value of "parse_record" in Net::FastCGI::Protocol. Otherwise, a false value ("undef" in scalar context and an empty list in list context).
If "read_record" reaches end-of-file before reading any octets, it returns a false value. If unsuccessful, "read_record" returns a false value and $! contains the error from the "sysread" call. If "read_record" encounters end-of-file after some but not all of the needed octets, the function returns a false value and sets $! to "EPIPE".
Implementation
The implementation calls "sysread" in a loop, restarting if "sysread" returns "undef" with $! set to "EINTR". If "sysread" does not provide all the requested octets, "read_record" continues to call "sysread" until either all the octets have been read, reaches end-of-file or an error occurs.
write_header
Attempts to write a "FCGI_Header" to file handle $fh.
Usage
$result = write_header($fh, $type, $request_id, $content_length, $padding_length);
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to write to. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor. File handle mode should be set to binary.
- $type
-
An unsigned 8-bit integer.
- $request_id
-
An unsigned 16-bit integer.
- $content_length
-
An unsigned 16-bit integer.
- $padding_length
-
An unsigned 8-bit integer.
Returns
- $result
-
Upon successful completion, the number of octets actually written. Otherwise,
"undef"and$!contains the error from the"syswrite"call.
Implementation
The implementation calls "syswrite" in a loop, restarting if "syswrite" returns "undef" with $! set to "EINTR". If "syswrite" does not output all the requested octets, "write_header" continues to call "syswrite" until all the octets have been written or an error occurs.
write_record
Attempts to write a "FCGI_Record" to file handle $fh.
Usage
$result = write_record($fh, $type, $request_id);$result = write_record($fh, $type, $request_id, $content);
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to write to. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor. File handle mode should be set to binary.
- $type
-
An unsigned 8-bit integer.
- $request_id
-
An unsigned 16-bit integer.
- $content (optional)
-
A string of octets containing the content, cannot exceed 65535 octets in length.
Returns
- $result
-
Upon successful completion, the number of octets actually written. Otherwise,
"undef"and$!contains the error from the"syswrite"call.
Implementation
The implementation calls "syswrite" in a loop, restarting if "syswrite" returns "undef" with $! set to "EINTR". If "syswrite" does not output all the requested octets, "write_record" continues to call "syswrite" until all the octets have been written or an error occurs.
write_stream
Attempts to write a "FCGI_Record" stream to file handle $fh.
Usage
$result = write_stream($fh, $type, $request_id, $content);$result = write_stream($fh, $type, $request_id, $content, $terminate);
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to write to. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor. File handle mode should be set to binary.
- $type
-
An unsigned 8-bit integer.
- $request_id
-
An unsigned 16-bit integer.
- $content
-
A string of octets containing the stream content.
- $terminate (optional)
-
A boolean indicating whether or not the stream should be terminated. Defaults to false.
Returns
- $result
-
Upon successful completion, the number of octets actually written. Otherwise,
"undef"and$!contains the error from the"syswrite"call.
Implementation
The implementation calls "syswrite" in a loop, restarting if "syswrite" returns "undef" with $! set to "EINTR". If "syswrite" does not output all the requested octets, "write_stream" continues to call "syswrite" until all the octets have been written or an error occurs.
can_read
Determines whether or not the given file handle $fh is ready for reading within the given timeout $timeout.
Usage
$result = can_read($fh, $timeout);
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to test for readiness. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor.
- $timeout
-
Maximum interval to wait. Can be set to either a non-negative numeric value or
"undef"for infinite wait.
Returns
Upon successful completion, 0 or 1. Otherwise, "undef" and $! contains the "select" error.
Implementation
The implementation calls "select" in a loop, restarting if "select" returns "-1" with $! set to "EINTR" and $timeout has not elapsed.
can_write
Determines whether or not the given file handle $fh is ready for writing within the given timeout $timeout.
Usage
$result = can_write($fh, $timeout);
Arguments
- $fh
-
The file handle to test for readiness. Must be a file handle with a file descriptor.
- $timeout
-
Maximum interval to wait. Can be set to either a non-negative numeric value or
"undef"for infinite wait.
Returns
Upon successful completion, 0 or 1. Otherwise, "undef" and $! contains the "select" error.
Implementation
The implementation calls "select" in a loop, restarting if "select" returns "-1" with $! set to "EINTR" and $timeout has not elapsed.
EXPORTS
None by default. All functions can be exported using the ":all" tag or individually.
