NAME

App::MTPUtils - CLI utilities related to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.04 of App::MTPUtils (from Perl distribution App-MTPUtils), released on 2017-07-10.

SYNOPSIS

This distribution includes the following CLI utilities:

Currently these utilities are just some wrappers/helpers for the mtp-* CLI utilities distributed in mtp-tools.

FUNCTIONS

delete_files

Usage:

 delete_files(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Delete multiple files from MTP (wrapper for mtp-delfile).

This routine is a thin wrapper for mtp-delfile command from mtp-tools.

To use this routine, you must already run mtp-files and save its output in mtp-files.out file, e.g.:

 % mtp-files > mtp-files.out

This file is used for tab completion as well as getting filename/ID when only one is specified. This makes using mtp-delfile less painful.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • files* => array[str]

    Filenames/IDs/wildcards.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

get_files

Usage:

 get_files(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Get multiple files from MTP (wrapper for mtp-getfile).

This routine is a thin wrapper for mtp-file command from mtp-tools.

To use this routine, you must already run mtp-files and save its output in mtp-files.out file, e.g.:

 % mtp-files > mtp-files.out

This file is used for tab completion as well as getting filename/ID when only one is specified. This makes using mtp-getfile less painful.

list_files

Usage:

 list_files(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

List files contained in mtp-files.out.

This routine will present information in mtp-files.out in a more readable way, like the Unix ls command.

To use this routine, you must already run mtp-files and save its output in mtp-files.out file, e.g.:

 % mtp-files > mtp-files.out

This function is not exported.

  • queries => array[str]

    Filenames/wildcards.
