NAME

Whisper - Handle Whisper fixed-size database files

SYNOPSIS

        use Whisper;

        # Read archive information
        my $info = wsp_info("/path/to/my/database.wsp"); 

        # Fetch archive data
        my $data = wsp_fetch("/path/to/my/database.wsp", $from, $until);

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple Whisper (fixed-size database) reader.

Whisper archive/databse files (.wsp) are similiar to RRD archive files. For more details about Whisper see http://graphite.wikidot.com/whisper

The following operations are supported:

        wsp_info        Read basic archive information
        wsp_fetch       Fetch data points from archive

These operations are planned:

        wsp_create      Create wsp database
        wsp_update      Add a data point to a wsp database
        wsp_update_bulk Add multiple data points to a wsp database
        wsp_merge       Merge two wsp database files

Feel free to help implement the above operations.
