IOMux::Pipe::Write - write to an external command
IOMux::Pipe::Write is a IOMux::Handler::Write is a IOMux::Handler
my $mux = IOMux::Select->new; # or ::Poll use IOMux::Open '|-'; my $pipe = $mux->open('|-', $command, @cmd_options); use IOMux::Pipe::Write; my $pipe = IOMux::Pipe::Write->new (command => [$command, @cmd_options]); $mux->add($pipe); $pipe->write($text); $pipe->print($text); write $pipe $text; print $pipe $text;
In an event driven program, you must be careful with every Operation System call, because it can block the event mechanism, hence the program as a whole. Often you can be lazy with writes, because its communication buffers are usually working quite asynchronous... but not always. You may skip the callbacks for small writes and prints.
Creates a pipe, but does not start a process (yet). Used by IOMux::IPC, which needs three pipes for one process. Returned is not only a new pipe object, but also a read handle to be connected to the other side.
All OPTIONS which are available to IOMux::Handler::Write::new() can be used here as well.
-Option --Default read_size 4096
example:
my ($in, $in_rh) = IOMux::Pipe::Write->bare(name => 'stdin');
-Option --Defined in --Default command <required> fh IOMux::Handler <required> name IOMux::Handler '|$cmd' write_size IOMux::Handler::Write 4096
The external command to be executed. Either the COMMAND needs to parameters, or you need to pass an ARRAY of the command name and all its parameters.
Open the pipe to write. MODE is always -|. When you need to pass additional OPTIONS to the implied new(), then you must use an ARRAY for command name and its optional parameters.

my $mux = IOMux::Poll->new; $mux->open('|-', 'lpr', '-#4'); # no opts $mux->open('|-', ['lpr', '-#4'], %opts); $mux->open('|-', 'lpr'); # no opts $mux->open('|-', ['lpr'], %opts);
The process id of the child on the other side of the pipe.
The bits of the open mode.
