48 =head1 DESCRIPTION
49
50 This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
51 filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts
52 on sockets see L<AnyEvent::Util>.
53
54 The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
55 AnyEvent::Handle examples.
56
57 In the following, when the documentation refers to of "bytes" then this
58 means characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
59 treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
60
61 All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
62 argument.
63
64 =head1 METHODS
65
66 =over 4
67
68 =item B<new (%args)>
69
70 The constructor supports these arguments (all as key => value pairs).
71
72 =over 4
73
74 =item fh => $filehandle [MANDATORY]
75
76 The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
77
78 NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
79 C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
80 that mode.
81
82 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
83
84 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
85 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
86 connection cleanly.
87
88 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
89 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
90 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
91 down.
92
93 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an EOF callback,
94 otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
95 waiting for data.
96
97 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
98 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
99
100 =item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal)
101
102 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
103 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
104 connect or a read error.
105
106 Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
107 fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be usable
108 (but you are free to look at the current C<< ->rbuf >>). Examples of fatal
109 errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
110 (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
111
112 Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
113 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
114 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
115 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
116
117 On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
118 error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT> or C<EBADMSG>).
119
120 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
121 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
122 C<croak>.
123
124 =item on_read => $cb->($handle)
125
126 This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
127 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
128 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
129 read buffer).
130
131 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
132 method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly.
133
134 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
135 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
136 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
137 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
138
139 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
140
141 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
142 (or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
143
144 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
145
146 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
147 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
148 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
149 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
150 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
151
152 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
153
154 If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
155 seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
156 handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
157 missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
158
159 Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
160 any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
161 idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
162 in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
163 restart the timeout.
164
165 Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
166
167 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
168
169 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
170 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
171 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
172
173 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
174
175 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
176 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
177 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
178
179 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
180 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
181 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
182 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
183 isn't finished).
184
185 =item autocork => <boolean>
186
187 When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
188 write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
189 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
190 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
191 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
192 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
193
194 When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
195 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
196 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
197 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
198
199 =item no_delay => <boolean>
200
201 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
202 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
203 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
204
205 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
206 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
207
208 The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
209 enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
210
211 =item read_size => <bytes>
212
213 The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
214 try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
215 requirements). Default: C<8192>.
216
217 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
218
219 Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
220 buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
221 considered empty.
222
223 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
224 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
225 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
226 is good in almost all cases.
227
228 =item linger => <seconds>
229
230 If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
231 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
232 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
233 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
234 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
235
236 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
237 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
238 help.
239
240 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
241
242 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
243 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
244 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
245
246 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
247 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
248 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
249 to add the dependency yourself.
250
251 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
252 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
253 mode.
254
255 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
256 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
257 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
258 AnyEvent::Handle.
259
260 B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
261 passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
262 happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
263 segmentation fault.
264
265 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
266
267 =item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx
268
269 Use the given C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object to create the new TLS connection
270 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
271 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
272
273 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
274
275 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
276
277 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
278 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
279 texts.
280
281 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
282 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

467 =head2 WRITE QUEUE
468
469 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
470 for reading.
471
472 The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
473 AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
474
475 When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
476 water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.
477

479
480 =item $handle->on_drain ($cb)

500 buffers it independently of the kernel.

566 Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module do

601
602 =item json => $array_or_hashref
603
604 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
605 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
606 in UTF-8.
607
608 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
609 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
610 additional framing.
611
612 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
613 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
614 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
615
616 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
617 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
618 they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
619 JSON text:
620
621 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
622 $handle->push_write ("\012");
623
624 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
625 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
626
627 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
628
629 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
630 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

661
662 This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>.
663 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
664 reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
665
666 The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
667 be appended to the write buffer.
668
669 Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
670 global, so try to use unique names.

678 =head2 READ QUEUE
679
680 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
681 for reading.
682
683 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
684 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
685 a queue.
686
687 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
688 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
689 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you cna
690 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
691 partial message has been received so far).
692
693 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
694 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
695 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
696 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
697
698 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
699 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
700
701 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
702 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
703
704 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
705 $handle->on_read (sub {
706 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
707 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
708 # header arrived, decode
709 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
710
711 # now read the payload
712 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
713 my $xml = $_[1];
714 # handle xml
715 });
716 });
717 });
718
719 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
720 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
721 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
722 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
723 in the callbacks.
724
725 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
726 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
727 64-byte chunk callback.
728
729 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
730 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
731
732 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
733 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
734 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
735 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
736 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
737 # we don't do this in case we got an error
738 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
739 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
740 my $response = $_[1];
741 ...
742 });
743 }
744 });
745
746 # request two, simply returns 64 octets
747 $handle->push_write ("request 2\015\012");
748
749 # simply read 64 bytes, always

867 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
868 available (or an error condition is detected).
869
870 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
871 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
872 true, it will be removed from the queue.

917 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
918 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines

927
928 Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
929 data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
930 data.
931
932 Example: read 2 bytes.

935 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];

947 }
948 };
949
950 =item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
951
952 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
953 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
954 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
955 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
956
957 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
958 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
959 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
960 regular expression.
961
962 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
963 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
964 protocols).
965
966 Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
967 not marked by the end of line marker.

995 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
996
997 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
998 everything up to and including the match.
999
1000 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1001
1002 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1003
1004 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1005 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1006 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1007 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1008 receive buffer overflow).
1009
1010 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1011 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1012
1013 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1014
1015 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1016 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1017 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1018 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1019 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1020 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1021 and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1022
1023 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1024 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1025 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1026 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1027 required for the accept regex.

1030 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1151
1152 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used

1154
1155 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version

1158 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1159
1160 Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write

1250
1251 This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1252
1253 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1254 reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1255 arguments.
1256
1257 The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1258 that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1259
1260 It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1261 pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1262
1263 Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1264 global, so try to use unique names.
1265
1266 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m AnyEvent::Handle>,
1267 search for C<register_read_type>)).
1268
1269 =item $handle->stop_read
1270
1271 =item $handle->start_read
1272
1273 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1274 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1275 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1276 C<start_read>.
1277
1278 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1279 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1280 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1281 there are any read requests in the queue.
1282
1283 These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support
1284 half-duplex connections).

1372 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1373 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1374 C<starttls>.
1375
1376 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1377 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1378
1379 The second argument is the optional C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object that is
1380 used when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object.
1381
1382 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >> after this
1383 call and can be used or changed to your liking. Note that the handshake
1384 might have already started when this function returns.

1497 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1498 no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1499 as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1500
1501 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1502 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1503 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1504 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1505 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1506 that case.
1507

1561
1562 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1563 still get further invocations!
1564
1565 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1566 read or write callbacks.
1567
1568 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1569 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1570 ->destroy >> method.
1571
1572 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1573 reading?
1574
1575 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1576 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1577 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1578 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1579
1580 This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1581 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1582 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1583
1584 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1585 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1586 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1587 C<destroy> method.
1588
1589 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1590
1591 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1592 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1593 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1594 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1595
1596 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1597 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1598 $handle->on_error (sub {
1599 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1600 undef $handle;
1601 });
1602
1603 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1604 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1605 fact, all data has been received.
1606
1607 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1608 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1609 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1610 explicit QUIT command.
1611
1612 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1613 all data has been written?
1614
1615 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1616 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1617 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1618 written to the socket:
1619
1620 $handle->push_write (...);
1621 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1622 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1623 undef $handle;
1624 });

1630
1631 In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
1632
1633 To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
1634 conventions:
1635
1636 =over 4
1637
1638 =item * all constructor arguments become object members.
1639
1640 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
1641 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
1642 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
1643
1644 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
1645
1646 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
1647 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
1648 for use for subclasses.
1649
1650 =item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
1651 are free to use in subclasses.
1652
1653 Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
1654 member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
