80Set the callback to be called on EOF. 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.
81 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
82While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to set an eof callback, 93While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an EOF callback,

85 96
86=item on_error => $cb->($self) 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>.
87 99
100=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
101
88This 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
89occurs, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to connect 103occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
90or a read error. 104connect or a read error.

92The object will not be in a usable state when this callback has been 106Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
93called. 107fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be usable
108(but you are free to look at the current C<< ->rbuf >>). Examples of fatal
109errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
110(C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
111
112AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
113against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
114recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
115error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
116
117Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
118to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
119when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
120C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).

105and no read request is in the queue. 133and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
134callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
135read buffer).

139must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
140the beginning from it.
109 141
110When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to 142When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
111feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 143feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
112calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal 144calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
113error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 145error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).

117This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 149This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
118(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 150(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
119 151
120To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 152To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
121 153
154This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
155into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
156of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
157memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
158the file when the write queue becomes empty.
159
160=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
161
162If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
163seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
164handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
165missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
166
167Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
168any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
169idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
170in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
171restart the timeout.
172
173Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
174
175=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
176
177Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
178callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
179so this condition is not fatal in any way.

126avoid denial-of-service attacks. 185avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.

132isn't finished). 191isn't finished).
133 192
193=item autocork => <boolean>
194
195When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
196write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
197a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
198be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
199disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
200C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
201
202When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
203iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
204but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
205the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
206
207=item no_delay => <boolean>
208
209When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
210wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
211the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
212
213In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
214accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
215
216The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
217enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
218
134=item read_size => <bytes> 219=item read_size => <bytes>

143considered empty. 229considered empty.
144 230
231Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
232the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
233the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
234is good in almost all cases.
235
236=item linger => <seconds>
237
238If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
239AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
240write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
241socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
242system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
243
244This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
245yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
246help.
247
248=item peername => $string
249
250A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
251(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
252
253Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
254common name verification (see C<verify_cn> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>).
255

261
262All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
263appropriate error message.
150 264
151TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded 265TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
152automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 266automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
267have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
268to add the dependency yourself.
153 269
154For the TLS server side, use C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a 270Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
155connection, use C<connect> mode. 271C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
272mode.
156 273
157You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have 274You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
158to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state> 275to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>

160AnyEvent::Handle. 277AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
278object.
161 279
280At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
281implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
282away.
283
284B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
285passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
286happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
287segmentation fault.
288
162See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later. 289See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.

168missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 295missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
169 296
297Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
298=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
299new TLS context object.
300
301=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
302
303This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
304
305If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
306suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
307texts.
308
309Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
310use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

626=item json => $array_or_hashref
627
628Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
629provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
630in UTF-8.
631
632JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
633one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
634additional framing.
635
636The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
637this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
638able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
639
640A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
641JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
642they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
643JSON text:
644
645 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
646 $handle->push_write ("\012");
647
648An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
649rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
650
651 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
652
653Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
654this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

684=item $handle->push_shutdown
685
686Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
687before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
688C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket. This method
689is a shorthand for just that, and replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
690
691 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
692
693This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
694the peer.
695
696You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
697afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.

1047=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1048
1049Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1050everything up to and including the match.
1051
1052Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1053
1054 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1055
1056If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1057to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1058does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1059useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1060receive buffer overflow).
1061
1062Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1063anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1064
1065 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1066
1067If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1068the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1069and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1070unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1071know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1072have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1073and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1074
1075Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1076expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1077a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1078it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1079required for the accept regex.

1156uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single

1158optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1159

1199=item json => $cb->($handle, $hash_or_arrayref)
1200
1201Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1202callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1203
1204If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1205for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1206
1207This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
12082.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1209dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1210AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1211
1212Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1213types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1214the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1579Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1580no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1581as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1582
1583Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1584object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1585callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1586callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1587within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1588that case.
1589
1590The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1591data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1625
1626=over 4
1627
1628=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1629still get further invocations!
1630
1631That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1632read or write callbacks.
1633
1634It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1635from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1636->destroy >> method.
1637
1638=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1639reading?
1640
1641Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1642communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1643read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1644write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1645
1646This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1647callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1648is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1649
1650During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1651non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1652connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1653C<destroy> method.
1654
1655=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1656
1657If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1658to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1659clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1660will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1661
1662 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1663 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1664 $handle->on_error (sub {
1665 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1666 undef $handle;
1667 });
1668
1669The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1670and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1671fact, all data has been received.
1672
1673It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1674to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1675intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1676explicit QUIT command.
1677
1678=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1679all data has been written?
1680
1681After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1682and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1683C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1684written to the socket:
1685
1686 $handle->push_write (...);
1687 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1688 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1689 undef $handle;
1690 });

1695=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
1696
1697In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
1698
1699To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
1700conventions:
1701
1702=over 4
1703
1704=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
1705
1706At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
1707will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
1708mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
1709
1710=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
1711
1712All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
1713with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
1714for use for subclasses.
1715
1716=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
1717are free to use in subclasses.
1718
1719Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
1720member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
