DESCRIPTION

Globals & Constants

Variable: @ISA

DiaColloDB::MultiMapFile::MMap inherits from DiaColloDB::MultiMapFile and supports the DiaColloDB::MultiMapFile read-access API.

Constructors etc.

new

 $mmf = CLASS_OR_OBJECT->new(%args);

%args, object structure:

   (
    ##-- MultiMapFile: basic options
    base => $base,       ##-- database basename; use files "${base}.ma", "${base}.mb", "${base}.hdr"
    perms => $perms,     ##-- default: 0666 & ~umask
    flags => $flags,     ##-- default: 'r'
    pack_i => $pack_i,   ##-- integer pack template (default='N')
    size => $size,       ##-- number of mapped , like scalar(@data)
    ##
    ##-- MultiMapFile: in-memory construction
    a2b => \@a2b,        ##-- maps source integers to (packed) target integer-sets: [$a] => pack("${pack_i}*", @bs)
    ##
    ##-- MultiMapFile: computed pack templates and lengths (after open())
    pack_a => $pack_a,   ##-- "($pack_i)[2]"
    pack_b => $pack_a,   ##-- "($pack_i)*"
    len_i => $len_i,     ##-- bytes::length(pack($pack_i,0))
    len_a => $len_a,     ##-- bytes::length(pack($pack_a,0))
    ##
    ##-- MultiMapFile: filehandles (after open())
    afh => $afh,         ##-- $base.ma : [$a]      => pack(${pack_a}, $bidx_a, $blen_a) : $byte_offset_in_bfh = $len_i*$bidx_a
    bfh => $bfh,         ##-- $base.mb : $bidx_a   :  pack(${pack_b}, @targets_for_a)   : $byte_length_in_bfh = $len_i*$blen_a
    ##
    ##-- MultiMapFile::MMap: buffers
    abufr => \$abuf,     ##-- mmap $base.ma
    bbufr => \$bbuf,     ##-- mmap $base.mb
   )

I/O: open/close (file)

open

 $mmf_or_undef = $mmf->open($base,$flags);
 $mmf_or_undef = $mmf->open($base);
 $mmf_or_undef = $mmf->open();

Open underlying files. See DiaColloDB::MultiMapFile::open().

remap

 $mmf_or_undef = $mmf->remap();

mmaps local buffers @$mmf{qw(abufr bbufr)} from @$mmf{qw(afh bfh)}.

unmap

 $mmf_or_undef = $mmf->unmap();

un-references local buffers @$mmf{qw(abufr bbufr)}. object will be unuseable after this.

close

 $mmf_or_undef = $mmf->close();

Close underlying files. Implicitly calls flush() if opened for writing.

opened

 $bool = $mmf->opened();

Returns true iff underlying files are opened and local buffers are defined.

toArray

 \@a2b = $mmf->toArray();

See DiaColloDB::MultiMapFile::toArray().

Methods: lookup

fetchraw

 $bs_packed = $mmf->fetchraw($a);

Returns a packed array $bs_packed = pack($mmf->{pack_b}, @bs) of targets for $a, or undef if not found. multimap must be opened.
