=head1 NAME

Bio::Root::IOManager - Input and output manager for Perl5 objects.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head2 Object Creation

The creation of Bio::Root::IOManager.pm objects is handled by Bio::Root::Object.pm
which delegates various I/O tasks to this module.

    use Bio::Root::IOManager;

    $myIO = new Bio::Root::IOManager(-WHERE   =>'/usr/tmp/data.out',
   				     -PARENT =>$self);


=head1 INSTALLATION

This module is included with the central Bioperl distribution:

   http://bio.perl.org/Core/Latest
   ftp://bio.perl.org/pub/DIST

Follow the installation instructions included in the README file.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module encapsulates the data and methods necessary for regulating
input/output (I/O) of data from Perl objects.
It is concerned with "where" to get input or send output as opposed to "what" to get.
IOManager.pm is intended to consolidate various I/O issues for
Perl objects and provide an object-oriented way to do I/O things such as:

=over 4

=item * passing filehandles between objects,

=item * opening and reading input from files or STDIN,

=item * routine file management (compressing, uncompressing, and deleting).

=back

Subclasses of B<Bio::Root::Object.pm> have access to all methods defined in
IOManager.pm since B<Bio::Root::Object.pm> employs Bio::Root::IOManager.pm
by a delegation mechanism.

It is not clear yet how much objects really need to do the fancy I/O gymnastics as
supported by IOManager. Most of the time, objects simply send output to STDOUT
which is managed at the script/program level. The fancy I/O manipulations are
considered experimental and have not been adequately tested or utilized.
I'm not really satisfied with the current L<display()|display>/L<set_display()|set_display> strategy.
The additional functionality is not often utilized in typical
applications. Is the extra complexity worth it?

B<The API for this module is under development.>


=head2 Generic Data Access & Manipulation

The L<read()|read> method provided permits the following:

=over 4

=item * read from a file or STDIN.

=item * read a single record or a stream containing multiple records.

=item * specify a record separator.

=item * store all input data in memory or process the data stream as it is being read.

=back

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

Bio::Root::IOManager.pm inherits from B<Bio::Root::Object.pm> and uses B<FileHandle.pm>.
B<Bio::Root::Utilities.pm> is also used for routine file manipulations
compression/uncompression/deletion.

instead of FileHandle.pm.

           :    4. else, \*STDOUT is returned.

           : Thus, if an object has already set its 'fh' to some location,

           :    -MODE  => mode for opening file. Default is overwrite '>'.
           :

=head2 read

 Usage     : $object->read(<named parameters>);
 Purpose   : Read raw textual data from a file or STDIN.
           : Optionally process each record it as it is read.
 Example   : $data = $object->read(-FILE    =>'usr/people/me/data.txt',

           : $data = $object->read(-FILE  =>new FileHandle $file, 'r');

 Argument  : Named parameters: (TAGS CAN BE UPPER OR LOWER CASE)
           :  (all optional)
           :    -FILE    => string (full path to file) or a reference
           :                to a FileHandle object or typeglob. This is an
           :                optional parameter (if not defined, STDIN is used).
           :    -REC_SEP => record separator to be used
           :                when reading in raw data. If none is supplied,
           :                the default record separator is used ($/).
           :                $/ is localized to this method but be careful if
           :                you do any additional file reading in functions
           :                called by this method (see the -FUNC parameter).
           :                Such methods will use the value of $/ set
           :                by read() (if a -RE_SEP is supplied).
           :    -FUNC    => reference to a function to be called for each
           :                record. The return value of this function is now checked:
           :                if false, the reading is terminated.
           :                Typically -FUNC supplies a closure.
           :    -HANDLE  => reference to a FileHandle object or a
           :                typeglob to be use for reading input.
           :                The FileHandle object should be configured to
           :                read from a desired file before calling this
           :                method. If both -handle and -file are defined,
           :                -handle takes precedence.
           :                (The -HANDLE parameter is no longer necessary
           :                 since -FILE can now contain a FileHandle ref.)

=head2 Data Members

Information about the various data members of this module is provided for those
wishing to modify or understand the code. Two things to bear in mind:

=over 4

=item 1 Do NOT rely on these in any code outside of this module.

All data members are prefixed with an underscore to signify that they are private.
Always use accessor methods. If the accessor doesn't exist or is inadequate,
create or modify an accessor (and let me know, too!).

=item 2 This documentation may be incomplete and out of date.

It is easy for this documentation to become obsolete as this module is still evolving.
Always double check this info and search for members not described here.

=back

An instance of Bio::Root::IOManager.pm is a blessed reference to a hash containing
all or some of the following fields:

 FIELD          VALUE
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  _show         Selects display options.

  _fh           FileHandle object for redirecting STDIN or STDOUT.

  _fherr        FileHandle object for error data. Append mode.

  _fh_name      The arguments used to create fh.

  _fherr_name   The arguments used to create fherr.

MODIFICATION NOTES:
-------------------

17 Feb 1999, sac:
   * Using $Global::TIMEOUT_SECS

3 Feb 1999, sac:
   * Added timeout support to read().
   * Moved the FileHandle creation code out of read() and into
     Bio::Root::Utilties since it's of more general use.

 24 Nov 1998, sac:
   * Modified read(), compress(), and uncompress() to properly
     deal with file ownership issues.

 19 Aug 1998, sac:
   * Fixed bug in display(), which wasn't returning true (1).

 0.023, 20 Jul 1998, sac:
   * read() can now use a supplied FileHandle or GLOB ref (\*IN).
   * A few other touch-ups in read().

 0.022, 16 Jun 1998, sac:
   * read() now terminates reading when a supplied &$func_ref
     returns false.

 0.021, May 1998, sac:
   * Refined documentation to use 5.004 pod2html.
   * Properly using typglob refs as necessary
     (e.g., set_display(), set_fh()).

0.031, 2 Sep 1998, sac:
   * Doc changes only
