2040  =head1 DESCRIPTION
2041  
2042  C<Tie::File> represents a regular text file as a Perl array.  Each
2043  element in the array corresponds to a record in the file.  The first
2044  line of the file is element 0 of the array; the second line is element
2045  1, and so on.
2046  
2047  The file is I<not> loaded into memory, so this will work even for
2048  gigantic files.
2049  
2050  Changes to the array are reflected in the file immediately.
2051  
2052  Lazy people and beginners may now stop reading the manual.
2053  
2054  =head2 C<recsep>
2055  
2056  What is a 'record'?  By default, the meaning is the same as for the
2057  C<E<lt>...E<gt>> operator: It's a string terminated by C<$/>, which is
2058  probably C<"\n">.  (Minor exception: on DOS and Win32 systems, a
2059  'record' is a string terminated by C<"\r\n">.)  You may change the
2060  definition of "record" by supplying the C<recsep> option in the C<tie>
2061  call:
2062  
2063      tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, recsep => 'es';
2064  
2065  This says that records are delimited by the string C<es>.  If the file
2066  contained the following data:
2067  
2068      Curse these pesky flies!\n
2069  
2070  then the C<@array> would appear to have four elements:
2071  
2072      "Curse th"
2073      "e p"
2074      "ky fli"
2075      "!\n"
2076  
2077  An undefined value is not permitted as a record separator.  Perl's
2078  special "paragraph mode" semantics (E<agrave> la C<$/ = "">) are not
2079  emulated.
2080  
2081  Records read from the tied array do not have the record separator
2082  string on the end; this is to allow
2083  
2084      $array[17] .= "extra";
2085  
2086  to work as expected.
2087  
2088  (See L<"autochomp">, below.)  Records stored into the array will have
2089  the record separator string appended before they are written to the
2090  file, if they don't have one already.  For example, if the record
2091  separator string is C<"\n">, then the following two lines do exactly
2092  the same thing:
2093  
2094      $array[17] = "Cherry pie";
2095      $array[17] = "Cherry pie\n";
2096  
2097  The result is that the contents of line 17 of the file will be
2098  replaced with "Cherry pie"; a newline character will separate line 17
2099  from line 18.  This means that this code will do nothing:
2100  
2101      chomp $array[17];
2102  
2103  Because the C<chomp>ed value will have the separator reattached when
2104  it is written back to the file.  There is no way to create a file
2105  whose trailing record separator string is missing.
2106  
2107  Inserting records that I<contain> the record separator string is not
2108  supported by this module.  It will probably produce a reasonable
2109  result, but what this result will be may change in a future version.
2110  Use 'splice' to insert records or to replace one record with several.
2111  
2112  =head2 C<autochomp>
2113  
2114  Normally, array elements have the record separator removed, so that if
2115  the file contains the text
2116  
2117      Gold
2118      Frankincense
2119      Myrrh
2120  
2121  the tied array will appear to contain C<("Gold", "Frankincense",
2122  "Myrrh")>.  If you set C<autochomp> to a false value, the record
2123  separator will not be removed.  If the file above was tied with
2124  
2125      tie @gifts, "Tie::File", $gifts, autochomp => 0;
2126  
2127  then the array C<@gifts> would appear to contain C<("Gold\n",
2128  "Frankincense\n", "Myrrh\n")>, or (on Win32 systems) C<("Gold\r\n",
2129  "Frankincense\r\n", "Myrrh\r\n")>.
2130  
2131  =head2 C<mode>
2132  
2133  Normally, the specified file will be opened for read and write access,
2134  and will be created if it does not exist.  (That is, the flags
2135  C<O_RDWR | O_CREAT> are supplied in the C<open> call.)  If you want to
2136  change this, you may supply alternative flags in the C<mode> option.
2137  See L<Fcntl> for a listing of available flags.
2138  For example:
2139  
2140      # open the file if it exists, but fail if it does not exist
2141      use Fcntl 'O_RDWR';
2142      tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, mode => O_RDWR;
2143  
2144      # create the file if it does not exist
2145      use Fcntl 'O_RDWR', 'O_CREAT';
2146      tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, mode => O_RDWR | O_CREAT;
2147  
2148      # open an existing file in read-only mode
2149      use Fcntl 'O_RDONLY';
2150      tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, mode => O_RDONLY;
2151  
2152  Opening the data file in write-only or append mode is not supported.
2153  
2154  =head2 C<memory>
2155  
2156  This is an upper limit on the amount of memory that C<Tie::File> will
2157  consume at any time while managing the file.  This is used for two
2158  things: managing the I<read cache> and managing the I<deferred write
2159  buffer>.
2160  
2161  Records read in from the file are cached, to avoid having to re-read
2162  them repeatedly.  If you read the same record twice, the first time it
2163  will be stored in memory, and the second time it will be fetched from
2164  the I<read cache>.  The amount of data in the read cache will not
2165  exceed the value you specified for C<memory>.  If C<Tie::File> wants
2166  to cache a new record, but the read cache is full, it will make room
2167  by expiring the least-recently visited records from the read cache.
2168  
2169  The default memory limit is 2Mib.  You can adjust the maximum read
2170  cache size by supplying the C<memory> option.  The argument is the
2171  desired cache size, in bytes.
2172  
2173      # I have a lot of memory, so use a large cache to speed up access
2174      tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, memory => 20_000_000;
2175  
2176  Setting the memory limit to 0 will inhibit caching; records will be
2177  fetched from disk every time you examine them.
2178  
2179  The C<memory> value is not an absolute or exact limit on the memory
2180  used.  C<Tie::File> objects contains some structures besides the read
2181  cache and the deferred write buffer, whose sizes are not charged
2182  against C<memory>. 
2183  
2184  The cache itself consumes about 310 bytes per cached record, so if
2185  your file has many short records, you may want to decrease the cache
2186  memory limit, or else the cache overhead may exceed the size of the
2187  cached data.
2188  
2189  
2190  =head2 C<dw_size>
2191  
2192  (This is an advanced feature.  Skip this section on first reading.)
2193  
2194  If you use deferred writing (See L<"Deferred Writing">, below) then
2195  data you write into the array will not be written directly to the
2196  file; instead, it will be saved in the I<deferred write buffer> to be
2197  written out later.  Data in the deferred write buffer is also charged
2198  against the memory limit you set with the C<memory> option.
2199  
2200  You may set the C<dw_size> option to limit the amount of data that can
2201  be saved in the deferred write buffer.  This limit may not exceed the
2202  total memory limit.  For example, if you set C<dw_size> to 1000 and
2203  C<memory> to 2500, that means that no more than 1000 bytes of deferred
2204  writes will be saved up.  The space available for the read cache will
2205  vary, but it will always be at least 1500 bytes (if the deferred write
2206  buffer is full) and it could grow as large as 2500 bytes (if the
2207  deferred write buffer is empty.)
2208  
2209  If you don't specify a C<dw_size>, it defaults to the entire memory
2210  limit.
2211  
2212  =head2 Option Format
2213  
2214  C<-mode> is a synonym for C<mode>.  C<-recsep> is a synonym for
2215  C<recsep>.  C<-memory> is a synonym for C<memory>.  You get the
2216  idea.
2217  
2218  =head1 Public Methods
2219  
2220  The C<tie> call returns an object, say C<$o>.  You may call
2221  
2222      $rec = $o->FETCH($n);
2223      $o->STORE($n, $rec);
2224  
2225  to fetch or store the record at line C<$n>, respectively; similarly
2226  the other tied array methods.  (See L<perltie> for details.)  You may
2227  also call the following methods on this object:
2228  
2229  =head2 C<flock>
2230  
2231      $o->flock(MODE)
2232  
2233  will lock the tied file.  C<MODE> has the same meaning as the second
2234  argument to the Perl built-in C<flock> function; for example
2235  C<LOCK_SH> or C<LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB>.  (These constants are provided by
2236  the C<use Fcntl ':flock'> declaration.)
2237  
2238  C<MODE> is optional; the default is C<LOCK_EX>.
2239  
2240  C<Tie::File> maintains an internal table of the byte offset of each
2241  record it has seen in the file.  
2242  
2243  When you use C<flock> to lock the file, C<Tie::File> assumes that the
2244  read cache is no longer trustworthy, because another process might
2245  have modified the file since the last time it was read.  Therefore, a
2246  successful call to C<flock> discards the contents of the read cache
2247  and the internal record offset table.
2248  
2249  C<Tie::File> promises that the following sequence of operations will
2250  be safe:
2251  
2252      my $o = tie @array, "Tie::File", $filename;
2253      $o->flock;
2254  
2255  In particular, C<Tie::File> will I<not> read or write the file during
2256  the C<tie> call.  (Exception: Using C<mode =E<gt> O_TRUNC> will, of
2257  course, erase the file during the C<tie> call.  If you want to do this
2258  safely, then open the file without C<O_TRUNC>, lock the file, and use
2259  C<@array = ()>.)
2260  
2261  The best way to unlock a file is to discard the object and untie the
2262  array.  It is probably unsafe to unlock the file without also untying
2263  it, because if you do, changes may remain unwritten inside the object.
2264  That is why there is no shortcut for unlocking.  If you really want to
2265  unlock the file prematurely, you know what to do; if you don't know
2266  what to do, then don't do it.
2267  
2268  All the usual warnings about file locking apply here.  In particular,
2269  note that file locking in Perl is B<advisory>, which means that
2270  holding a lock will not prevent anyone else from reading, writing, or
2271  erasing the file; it only prevents them from getting another lock at
2272  the same time.  Locks are analogous to green traffic lights: If you
2273  have a green light, that does not prevent the idiot coming the other
2274  way from plowing into you sideways; it merely guarantees to you that
2275  the idiot does not also have a green light at the same time.

2278  
2279      my $old_value = $o->autochomp(0);    # disable autochomp option
2280      my $old_value = $o->autochomp(1);    #  enable autochomp option
2281  
2282      my $ac = $o->autochomp();   # recover current value

2289  
2290  =head2 C<offset>
2291  
2292      $off = $o->offset($n);
2293  
2294  This method returns the byte offset of the start of the C<$n>th record
2295  in the file.  If there is no such record, it returns an undefined
2296  value.
2297  
2298  =head1 Tying to an already-opened filehandle
2299  
2300  If C<$fh> is a filehandle, such as is returned by C<IO::File> or one
2301  of the other C<IO> modules, you may use:
2302  
2303      tie @array, 'Tie::File', $fh, ...;
2304  
2305  Similarly if you opened that handle C<FH> with regular C<open> or
2306  C<sysopen>, you may use:
2307  
2308      tie @array, 'Tie::File', \*FH, ...;
2309  
2310  Handles that were opened write-only won't work.  Handles that were
2311  opened read-only will work as long as you don't try to modify the
2312  array.  Handles must be attached to seekable sources of data---that
2313  means no pipes or sockets.  If C<Tie::File> can detect that you
2314  supplied a non-seekable handle, the C<tie> call will throw an
2315  exception.  (On Unix systems, it can detect this.)
2316  
2317  Note that Tie::File will only close any filehandles that it opened
2318  internally.  If you passed it a filehandle as above, you "own" the
2319  filehandle, and are responsible for closing it after you have untied
2320  the @array.
2321  
2322  =head1 Deferred Writing
2323  
2324  (This is an advanced feature.  Skip this section on first reading.)
2325  
2326  Normally, modifying a C<Tie::File> array writes to the underlying file
2327  immediately.  Every assignment like C<$a[3] = ...> rewrites as much of
2328  the file as is necessary; typically, everything from line 3 through
2329  the end will need to be rewritten.  This is the simplest and most
2330  transparent behavior.  Performance even for large files is reasonably
2331  good.
2332  
2333  However, under some circumstances, this behavior may be excessively
2334  slow.  For example, suppose you have a million-record file, and you
2335  want to do:
2336  
2337      for (@FILE) {
2338        $_ = "> $_";
2339      }
2340  
2341  The first time through the loop, you will rewrite the entire file,
2342  from line 0 through the end.  The second time through the loop, you
2343  will rewrite the entire file from line 1 through the end.  The third
2344  time through the loop, you will rewrite the entire file from line 2 to
2345  the end.  And so on.
2346  
2347  If the performance in such cases is unacceptable, you may defer the
2348  actual writing, and then have it done all at once.  The following loop
2349  will perform much better for large files:
2350  
2351      (tied @a)->defer;
2352      for (@a) {
2353        $_ = "> $_";
2354      }
2355      (tied @a)->flush;
2356  
2357  If C<Tie::File>'s memory limit is large enough, all the writing will
2358  done in memory.  Then, when you call C<-E<gt>flush>, the entire file
2359  will be rewritten in a single pass.
2360  
2361  (Actually, the preceding discussion is something of a fib.  You don't
2362  need to enable deferred writing to get good performance for this
2363  common case, because C<Tie::File> will do it for you automatically
2364  unless you specifically tell it not to.  See L<"autodeferring">,
2365  below.)
2366  
2367  Calling C<-E<gt>flush> returns the array to immediate-write mode.  If
2368  you wish to discard the deferred writes, you may call C<-E<gt>discard>
2369  instead of C<-E<gt>flush>.  Note that in some cases, some of the data
2370  will have been written already, and it will be too late for
2371  C<-E<gt>discard> to discard all the changes.  Support for
2372  C<-E<gt>discard> may be withdrawn in a future version of C<Tie::File>.
2373  
2374  Deferred writes are cached in memory up to the limit specified by the
2375  C<dw_size> option (see above).  If the deferred-write buffer is full
2376  and you try to write still more deferred data, the buffer will be
2377  flushed.  All buffered data will be written immediately, the buffer
2378  will be emptied, and the now-empty space will be used for future
2379  deferred writes.
2380  
2381  If the deferred-write buffer isn't yet full, but the total size of the
2382  buffer and the read cache would exceed the C<memory> limit, the oldest
2383  records will be expired from the read cache until the total size is
2384  under the limit.
2385  
2386  C<push>, C<pop>, C<shift>, C<unshift>, and C<splice> cannot be
2387  deferred.  When you perform one of these operations, any deferred data
2388  is written to the file and the operation is performed immediately.
2389  This may change in a future version.
2390  
2391  If you resize the array with deferred writing enabled, the file will
2392  be resized immediately, but deferred records will not be written.
2393  This has a surprising consequence: C<@a = (...)> erases the file
2394  immediately, but the writing of the actual data is deferred.  This
2395  might be a bug.  If it is a bug, it will be fixed in a future version.
2396  
2397  =head2 Autodeferring
2398  
2399  C<Tie::File> tries to guess when deferred writing might be helpful,
2400  and to turn it on and off automatically. 
2401  
2402      for (@a) {
2403        $_ = "> $_";
2404      }
2405  
2406  In this example, only the first two assignments will be done
2407  immediately; after this, all the changes to the file will be deferred
2408  up to the user-specified memory limit.
2409  
2410  You should usually be able to ignore this and just use the module
2411  without thinking about deferring.  However, special applications may
2412  require fine control over which writes are deferred, or may require
2413  that all writes be immediate.  To disable the autodeferment feature,
2414  use
2415  
2416      (tied @o)->autodefer(0);
2417  
2418  or
2419  
2420             tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, autodefer => 0;
2421  
2422  
2423  Similarly, C<-E<gt>autodefer(1)> re-enables autodeferment, and 
2424  C<-E<gt>autodefer()> recovers the current value of the autodefer setting.
2425  
2426  
2427  =head1 CONCURRENT ACCESS TO FILES
2428  
2429  Caching and deferred writing are inappropriate if you want the same
2430  file to be accessed simultaneously from more than one process.  Other
2431  optimizations performed internally by this module are also
2432  incompatible with concurrent access.  A future version of this module will
2433  support a C<concurrent =E<gt> 1> option that enables safe concurrent access.
2434  
2435  Previous versions of this documentation suggested using C<memory
2436  =E<gt> 0> for safe concurrent access.  This was mistaken.  Tie::File
2437  will not support safe concurrent access before version 0.98.
2438  
2439  =head1 CAVEATS
2440  
2441  (That's Latin for 'warnings'.)
2442  
2443  =over 4
2444  
2445  =item *
2446  
2447  Reasonable effort was made to make this module efficient.  Nevertheless,
2448  changing the size of a record in the middle of a large file will
2449  always be fairly slow, because everything after the new record must be
2450  moved.
2451  
2452  =item *
2453  
2454  The behavior of tied arrays is not precisely the same as for regular
2455  arrays.  For example:
2456  
2457      # This DOES print "How unusual!"
2458      undef $a[10];  print "How unusual!\n" if defined $a[10];
2459  
2460  C<undef>-ing a C<Tie::File> array element just blanks out the
2461  corresponding record in the file.  When you read it back again, you'll
2462  get the empty string, so the supposedly-C<undef>'ed value will be
2463  defined.  Similarly, if you have C<autochomp> disabled, then
2464  
2465      # This DOES print "How unusual!" if 'autochomp' is disabled
2466      undef $a[10];
2467          print "How unusual!\n" if $a[10];
2468  
2469  Because when C<autochomp> is disabled, C<$a[10]> will read back as
2470  C<"\n"> (or whatever the record separator string is.)  
2471  
2472  There are other minor differences, particularly regarding C<exists>
2473  and C<delete>, but in general, the correspondence is extremely close.
2474  
2475  =item *
2476  
2477  I have supposed that since this module is concerned with file I/O,
2478  almost all normal use of it will be heavily I/O bound.  This means
2479  that the time to maintain complicated data structures inside the
2480  module will be dominated by the time to actually perform the I/O.
2481  When there was an opportunity to spend CPU time to avoid doing I/O, I
2482  usually tried to take it.
2483  
2484  =item *
2485  
2486  You might be tempted to think that deferred writing is like
2487  transactions, with C<flush> as C<commit> and C<discard> as
2488  C<rollback>, but it isn't, so don't.
2489  
2490  =item *
2491  
2492  There is a large memory overhead for each record offset and for each
2493  cache entry: about 310 bytes per cached data record, and about 21 bytes per offset table entry.
2494  
2495  The per-record overhead will limit the maximum number of records you
2496  can access per file. Note that I<accessing> the length of the array
2497  via C<$x = scalar @tied_file> accesses B<all> records and stores their
2498  offsets.  The same for C<foreach (@tied_file)>, even if you exit the
2499  loop early.

2502  
2503  =head1 SUBCLASSING
2504  
2505  This version promises absolutely nothing about the internals, which
2506  may change without notice.  A future version of the module will have a
2507  well-defined and stable subclassing API.
2508  
2509  =head1 WHAT ABOUT C<DB_File>?
2510  
2511  People sometimes point out that L<DB_File> will do something similar,
2512  and ask why C<Tie::File> module is necessary.
2513  
2514  There are a number of reasons that you might prefer C<Tie::File>.
2515  A list is available at C<http://perl.plover.com/TieFile/why-not-DB_File>.

2602  =head1 TODO
2603  
2604  More tests.  (Stuff I didn't think of yet.)
2605  
2606  Paragraph mode?
2607  
2608  Fixed-length mode.  Leave-blanks mode.
2609  
2610  Maybe an autolocking mode?
2611  
2612  For many common uses of the module, the read cache is a liability.
2613  For example, a program that inserts a single record, or that scans the
2614  file once, will have a cache hit rate of zero.  This suggests a major
2615  optimization: The cache should be initially disabled.  Here's a hybrid
2616  approach: Initially, the cache is disabled, but the cache code
2617  maintains statistics about how high the hit rate would be *if* it were
2618  enabled.  When it sees the hit rate get high enough, it enables
2619  itself.  The STAT comments in this code are the beginning of an
2620  implementation of this.
2621  
2622  Record locking with fcntl()?  Then the module might support an undo
2623  log and get real transactions.  What a tour de force that would be.
2624  
2625  Keeping track of the highest cached record. This would allow reads-in-a-row
2626  to skip the cache lookup faster (if reading from 1..N with empty cache at
2627  start, the last cached value will be always N-1).
2628  
2629  More tests.
