48filehandles (and sockets, see L<AnyEvent::Socket> for an easy way to make 51filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts
49non-blocking resolves and connects). 52on sockets see L<AnyEvent::Util>.
53
54The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
55AnyEvent::Handle examples.

77Set the callback to be called on EOF.
78
79=item on_error => $cb->($self) 82=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
80 83
84Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
85i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
86connection cleanly.
87
88For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
89you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
90callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
91down.
92
93While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an EOF callback,
94otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
95waiting for data.
96
97If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
98set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
99
100=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal)
101
81This is the fatal error callback, that is called when, well, a fatal error 102This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error

86called. 107fatal 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
109errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
110(C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
111
112Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
113to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
114when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
115C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).

98and no read request is in the queue. 127and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
128callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
129read buffer).

104feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 135feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before

106error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 137error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).

110This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 141This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
111(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 142(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
112 143
113To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 144To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
114 145
146This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
147into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
148of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
149memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
150the file when the write queue becomes empty.
151
152=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
153
154If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
155seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
156handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
157missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
158
159Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
160any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
161idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
162in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
163restart the timeout.
164
165Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
166
167=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
168
169Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
170callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
171so this condition is not fatal in any way.

125isn't finished). 183isn't finished).
126 184
185=item autocork => <boolean>
186
187When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
188write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
189a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
190be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
191disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
192C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
193
194When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
195iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
196but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
197the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
198
199=item no_delay => <boolean>
200
201When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
202wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
203the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
204
205In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
206accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
207
208The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
209enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
210
127=item read_size => <bytes> 211=item read_size => <bytes>

129The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 213The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will

215requirements). Default: C<8192>.

135buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is 220buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
136considered empty. 221considered empty.
137 222
223Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
224the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
225the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
226is good in almost all cases.
227
228=item linger => <seconds>
229
230If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
231AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
232write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
233socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
234system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
235
236This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
237yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
238help.
239
240=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
241
242When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
243AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
244established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
245
246TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
247automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
248have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
249to add the dependency yourself.
250
251Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
252C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
253mode.
254
255You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
256to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
257or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
258AnyEvent::Handle.
259
260See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
261
262=item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx
263
264Use the given C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object to create the new TLS connection
265(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
266missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
267
268=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
269
270This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
271
272If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
273suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
274texts.
275
276Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
277use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

583
584An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
585uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
586integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
587optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

596
597=item json => $array_or_hashref
598
599Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
600provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
601in UTF-8.
602
603JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
604one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
605additional framing.
606
607The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
608this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
609able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
610
611A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
612JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
613they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
614JSON text:
615
616 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
617 $handle->push_write ("\012");
618
619An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
620rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
621
622 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
623
624Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
625this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

655=item AnyEvent::Handle::register_write_type type => $coderef->($handle, @args)
656
657This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>.
658Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
659reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
660
661The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
662be appended to the write buffer.
663
664Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
665global, so try to use unique names.

990=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
991
992Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
993everything up to and including the match.
994
995Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
996
997 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
998
999If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1000to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1001does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1002useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1003receive buffer overflow).
1004
1005Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1006anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1007
1008 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1009
1010If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1011the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1012and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1013unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1014know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1015have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1016and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1017
1018Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1019expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1020a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1021it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1022required for the accept regex.

1146If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1147for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1148
1149This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
11502.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1151dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1152AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1153
1154Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1155types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

1234
1235This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1236
1237Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1238reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1239arguments.
1240
1241The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1242that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1243
1244It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1245pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1246
1247Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1248global, so try to use unique names.
1249

1251search for C<register_read_type>)).

1263you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1264will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1265there are any read requests in the queue.
1266

1479=item $handle->destroy
1480
1481Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1482no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1483as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1484
1485Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1486object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1487callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1488callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1489within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1490that case.
1491
1492The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1493data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1545
1546=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1547still get further invocations!
1548
1549That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1550read or write callbacks.
1551
1552It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1553from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1554->destroy >> method.
1555
1556=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1557reading?
1558
1559Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1560communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1561read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1562write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1563
1564This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1565callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1566is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1567
1568During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1569non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1570connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1571C<destroy> method.
1572
1573=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1574
1575If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1576to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1577clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1578will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1579
1580 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1581 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1582 $handle->on_error (sub {
1583 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1584 undef $handle;
1585 });
1586
1587The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1588and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1589fact, all data has been received.
1590
1591It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1592to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1593intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1594explicit QUIT command.
1595
1596=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1597all data has been written?
1598
1599After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1600and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1601C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1602written to the socket:
1603
1604 $handle->push_write (...);
1605 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1606 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1607 undef $handle;
1608 });

1613=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
1614
1615In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
1616
1617To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
1618conventions:
1619
1620=over 4
1621
1622=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
1623
1624At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
1625will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
1626mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
1627
1628=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
1629
1630All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
1631with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
1632for use for subclasses.
1633
1634=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
1635are free to use in subclasses.
1636
1637Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
1638member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
