# To Do:
# - Add an EOF flag and make sure (virtual) system calls treat it right
# - Call close on an implicit open.
# - Add unlink(). Should behave properly if file is open.
# - Support this idiom for multiple FOO:
# open FOO;
# close FOO;
# while (open FOO) {
# while (<FOO>) {
# }
# }
# Damian. Let's leave this trace feature in for a while.
# The calls to it should be constant folded out of the bytecode anyway,
# (when DEBUG is 0) so there's no real performance penalty.
# It has helped me find many a bug :)

=head1 NAME
Inline::Files::Virtual - Multiple virtual files in a single file
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.53 of Inline::Files::Virtual, released May 25, 2001.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Inline::Files::Virtual;
# Load actual file, extracting virtual files that start with "^<VF>\n"
@virtual_filenames = vf_load($actual_file, "^<VF>\n");
# Open one of the virtual files for reading
open(FILE, $virtual_filenames[0]) or die;
print while <FILE>;
close(FILE);
# Open one of the virtual files for appending
open(FILE, ">> $virtual_filenames[1]") or die;
print FILE "extra text";
printf FILE "%6.2", $number;
close(FILE);
# Actual file will be updated at this point
=head1 WARNING
This module is still experimental. Careless use of it will almost
certainly cause the source code in files that use it to be overwritten.
You are I<strongly> advised to use the Inline::Files module instead.
If you chose to use this module anyway, you thereby agree that the
authors will b<under no circumstances> be responsible for any loss of
data, code, time, money, or limbs, or for any other disadvantage incurred
as a result of using Inline::Files.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to treat a single disk file as a collection of
virtual files, which may then be individually opened for reading or
writing. Virtual files which have been modified are written back to
their actual disk at the end of the program's execution (or earlier if
the C<vf_save> subroutine is explicitly called).
Each such virtual file is introduced by a start-of-virtual-file marker
(SOVFM). This may be any sequence (or pattern) of characters that marks
the beginning of the content of a virtual file. For example, the string
C<"--"> might be used:
--
Contents of virtual
file number 1
--
Contents of virtual
file number 2
--
Contents of virtual
file number 3
or the pattern C</##### \w+ #####/>:
##### VF1 #####
Contents of virtual
file number 1
##### VF2 #####
Contents of virtual
file number 2
##### VF3 #####
Contents of virtual
file number 3
Note that the SOVFM is not considered to be part of the file contents.
=head2 Interface
The module exports the following methods:
=over 4
=item C<vf_load $file, $SOVFM_pattern>
This subroutine is called to load an actual disk file containing one or
more virtual files. The first argument specifies the name of the file to
be loaded as a string. The second argument specifies a pattern (as
either a string or C<qr> regex) that matches each start-of-virtual-file
marker within the file. For example, if the file
C</usr/local/details.dat> contains:
=info names
Damian
Nathan
Mephistopheles
=info numbers
555-1212
555-6874
555-3452
=info comment
Mad
Bad
Dangerous to know
then you could load it as three virtual files with:
@virtual_filenames =
vf_load("/usr/local/details.dat", qr/^=info\s+\S+\s*?\n/);
Note that, because the actual file is decomposed into virtual files
using a C<split>, it is vital that the pattern does not contain any
capturing parentheses.
On success, C<vf_load> returns a list of I<virtual filenames> for the
virtual files. Each virtual filename consists of the actual name of the
file containing the virtual file, concatenated with the offset of the
virtual file's SOVFM within the actual file. For example, the above call
to C<vf_load> would return three virtual filenames:
/usr/local/details.dat(00000000000000000000)
/usr/local/details.dat(00000000000000000048)
/usr/local/details.dat(00000000000000000097)
When any of these virtual filenames is subsequently used in an C<open>, the
corresponding virtual file is opened.
=item C<vf_save @actual_filenames>
=item C<vf_save>
This subroutine causes the virtual files belonging to the nominated
actual file (or files) to be written back to disk. If C<vf_save> is
called without arguments, then I<all> currently loaded virtual files are
saved to their respective actual files at that point.
C<vf_save> is automatically called in an C<END> block at the termination
of any program using the module.
=item C<vf_marker $virtual_filename>
This subroutine returns the SOVFM that preceded the nominated virtual file.
=back
The module also modifies the C<open>, C<close>, C<print>, C<printf>,
C<read>, C<getline>, C<getc>, C<seek>, C<tell>, and C<truncate> built-in
functions so that they operate correctly on virtual files.
As a special case, it is also possible to use the raw SOVFM as a virtual
file name:
use Inline::Files::Virtual;
vf_load $filename, qr/__[A-Z]+__/;
open FILE, "__MARKER__";
# and in the file that was vf_load-ed
__MARKER__
file contents here
However, this always opens the very first virtual file with that SOVFM,
no matter how often it is called, or how many such markers appear in
the file.
=head2 Handling "implicit" virtual start-of-virtual-file markers
Sometimes an SOVFM is "implicit". That is, rather thanb being a
separate marker for the start of a virtual file, it is the first part
of the actual data of the virtual file. For example, consider the
following XML file:
<DATA>
<DESC>This is data set 1</DESC>
<DATUM/>datum 1
<DATUM/>datum 2
<DATUM/>datum 3
</DATA>
<DATA>
<DESC>This is data set 2</DESC>
<DATUM/>datum 4
<DATUM/>datum 5
<DATUM/>datum 6
</DATA>
Each of the C<E<lt>DATAE<gt>...E<lt>/DATAE<gt>> blocks could be treated
as a separate virtual file by specifying:
@datasets = vf_load("data.xml", '<DATA>');
But this would cause the individual virtual files to contain invalid
XML, such as:
<DESC>This is data set 1</DESC>
<DATUM/>datum 1
<DATUM/>datum 2
<DATUM/>datum 3
</DATA>
One can indicate that the nominated SOVFMs are also part of the virtual files'
contents, by specifying the markers as a look-ahead pattern:
@datasets = vf_load("data.xml", '(?=<DATA>)');
This causes C<vf_load> to identify the sequence C<E<lt>DATAE<gt>> as a
start-of-virtual-file marker but not consume it, thereby leaving it as
the initial sequence of the virtual file's content.
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over 4
=item C<Could not vf_load '%s'>
The module could not open the specified disk file and read it in as a set of virtual files.
=item C<Unable to complete vf_save>
The module could not open the specified disk file and write it out as a
set of virtual files. A preceding warning may indicate which virtual
file caused the problem.
=item C<Virtual file not open for input>
An attempt was made to C<getline>, C<getc>, or C<read> a virtual file
that was opened for output only. (Warning only)
=item C<Virtual file not open for output>
An attempt was made to C<print> or C<printf> a virtual file that was
opened for input only. (Warning only)
