NAME

Perinci::Examples::Stream - Examples for streaming input/output

VERSION

This document describes version 0.49 of Perinci::Examples::Stream (from Perl distribution Perinci-Examples), released on 2015-01-20.

DESCRIPTION

{en_US This package contains functions that demonstrate streaming input/output. }

FUNCTIONS

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

{en_US This function produces a stream of hashes}.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • num => int

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: (hash)

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

{en_US This function produces a stream of natural numbers}.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • num => int

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: (int)

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

{en_US This function squares its stream input}.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • input* => float

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: (float)

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

{en_US Count the number of lines/words/characters of input, like the "wc" command}.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • input* => str

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: (str)

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

{en_US Count the number of keys of each hash}.

{en_US This is a simple demonstration of accepting a stream of hashes. In command-line application this will translate to JSON stream. }

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • input* => hash

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: (str)
