NAME

Slackware::Slackget::Network::Connection::FILE - This class is the file:// protocol driver for Slackware::Slackget::Network::Connection

VERSION

Version 1.0.0

SYNOPSIS

This class is the file:// protocol driver for Slackware::Slackget::Network::Connection.

You can't use this class without the Slackware::Slackget::Network::Connection one.

This class need the following extra CPAN modules :

        - File::Copy
        - Time::HiRes

CONSTRUCTOR

new

This class is not designed to be instanciate alone or used alone. You have to use the Slackware::Slackget::Network::Connection.

FUNCTIONS

__test_server

This method test the rapidity of the repository, by timing a copy of the FILELIST.TXT file.

        my $time = $self->test_server() ;

__get_file

Return the given file.

        my $file = $connection->get_file('PACKAGES.TXT') ;

You can pass an extra argument (boolean) to mark the file as a binary one.

__fetch_file

Copy a given file to a given location.

        $connection->fetch_file() ; # download the file $connection->file and store it at $config->{common}->{'update-directory'}/$connection->file, this way is not recommended
        or
        $connection->fetch_file($remote_file) ; # download the file $remote_file and store it at $config->{common}->{'update-directory'}/$connection->file, this way is not recommended
        or
        $connection->fetch_file('PACKAGES.TXT',"$config->{common}->{'update-directory'}/".$current_specialfilecontainer_object->id."/PACKAGES.TXT") ; # This is the recommended way.
        # This is equivalent to : $connection->fetch_file($remote_file,$local_file) ;

This method return a Slackware::Slackget::Status object with the following object declaration :

        my $state =  Slackware::Slackget::Status->new(codes => {
                0 => "All goes well. Server said: $ret_code - ".status_message( $ret_code ),
                1 => "Destination directory does not exist.\n",
                2 => "Destination directory is not writable.\n",
        });

This is the direct code of this method :)

__fetch_all

This method fetch all files declare in the "files" parameter of the constructor.

        $connection->fetch_all or die "Unable to fetch all files\n";

This method save all files in the $config->{common}->{'update-directory'} directory (so you have to manage yourself the files deletion/replacement problems)
