=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls - Return value of flagged function ignored.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This performs identically to InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen/Close
except that this is configurable to apply to any function, whether
core or user-defined.
If your module uses L<Fatal|Fatal> or C<Fatal::Exception>, then any
functions wrapped by those modules will not trigger this policy. For
example:
use Fatal qw(open);
open my $fh, $filename; # no violation
close $fh; # yes violation
=head1 CONFIGURATION
This policy watches for a configurable list of function names. By
default, it applies to C<open>, C<print> and C<close>. You can
override this to set it to a different list of functions with the
C<functions> setting. To do this, put entries in a F<.perlcriticrc>
file like this:
[InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
functions = open opendir read readline readdir close closedir
We have defined a few shortcuts for creating this list
[InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
functions = :defaults opendir readdir closedir
[InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
functions = :builtins
[InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
functions = :all
The C<:builtins> shortcut above represents all of the builtin
functions that have error conditions (about 65 of them, many of them
rather obscure).
The C<:all> is the insane case: you must check the return value of
EVERY function call, even C<return> and C<exit>. Yes, this "feature"
is overkill and is wasting CPU cycles on your computer by just
existing. Nyah nyah. I shouldn't code after midnight.
=head1 CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.
This policy module is based heavily on policies written by Andrew
Moore <amoore@mooresystems.com>.
