48=head1 DESCRIPTION
49
50This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
51filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts
52on sockets see L<AnyEvent::Util>.
53
54In the following, when the documentation refers to of "bytes" then this
55means characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
56treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
57
58All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
59argument.
60
61=head1 METHODS
62
63=over 4
64
65=item B<new (%args)>
66
67The constructor supports these arguments (all as key => value pairs).
68
69=over 4
70
71=item fh => $filehandle [MANDATORY]
72
73The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
74
75NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking (using
76AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking).
77
78=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
79
80Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detcted,
81i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
82connection cleanly.
83
84While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to set an eof callback,
85otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
86waiting for data.
87
88=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal)
89
90This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
91occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
92connect or a read error.
93
94Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
95fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be
96usable. Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is
97recommended to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle
98object when this callback is invoked.
99
100On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
101error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT> or C<EBADMSG>).
102
103While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
104you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
105C<croak>.
106
107=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
108
109This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
110and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
111callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
112read buffer).
113
114To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
115method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly.
116
117When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
118feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
119calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
120error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
121
122=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
123
124This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
125(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
126
127To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
128
129=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
130
131If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
132seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
133handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
134missing, an C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
135
136Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
137any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
138idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
139in the C<on_timeout> callback.
140
141Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
142
143=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
144
145Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
146callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
147so this condition is not fatal in any way.
148
149=item rbuf_max => <bytes>
150
151If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
152when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
153avoid denial-of-service attacks.
154
155For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
156be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
157(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
158amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
159isn't finished).
160
161=item read_size => <bytes>
162
163The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read
164during each (loop iteration). Default: C<8192>.
165
166=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
167
168Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
169buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
170considered empty.
171
172=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
173
174When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means it
175will start making tls handshake and will transparently encrypt/decrypt
176data.
177
178TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
179automatically when you try to create a TLS handle).
180
181For the TLS server side, use C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a
182connection, use C<connect> mode.
183
184You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
185to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
186or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
187AnyEvent::Handle.
188
189See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later.
190
191=item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx
192
193Use the given Net::SSLeay::CTX object to create the new TLS connection
194(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
195missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
196
197=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
198
199This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
200
201If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
202suitable one, which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON texts.
203
204Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
205use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

364=head2 WRITE QUEUE
365
366AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
367for reading.
368
369The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
370AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
371
372When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
373water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.
374
375=over 4
376
377=item $handle->on_drain ($cb)
378
379Sets the C<on_drain> callback or clears it (see the description of
380C<on_drain> in the constructor).
381
382=cut
383
384sub on_drain {
385 my ($self, $cb) = @_;

387 $self->{on_drain} = $cb;

390 if $cb && $self->{low_water_mark} >= length $self->{wbuf};
391}
392
393=item $handle->push_write ($data)
394
395Queues the given scalar to be written. You can push as much data as you
396want (only limited by the available memory), as C<AnyEvent::Handle>
397buffers it independently of the kernel.
398

459=item $handle->push_write (type => @args)
460
461Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module do
462the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments.
463
464Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
465drop by and tell us):
466
467=over 4
468
469=item netstring => $string
470
471Formats the given value as netstring
472(http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt, this is not a recommendation to use them).
473
474=cut
475
476register_write_type netstring => sub {
477 my ($self, $string) = @_;
478
479 sprintf "%d:%s,", (length $string), $string
480};
481
482=item packstring => $format, $data
483
484An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
485uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
486integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
487optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
488
489=cut
490
491register_write_type packstring => sub {
492 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
493
494 pack "$format/a", $string
495};
496
497=item json => $array_or_hashref
498
499Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
500provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
501in UTF-8.
502
503JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
504one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
505additional framing.
506
507The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
508this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
509able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
510
511A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
512JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
513they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
514JSON text:
515
516 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
517 $handle->push_write ("\012");
518
519An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
520rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
521
522 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
523
524Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
525this line into their JSON decoder of choice.
526

528
529register_write_type json => sub {
530 my ($self, $ref) = @_;
531
532 require JSON;

535 : JSON::encode_json ($ref)
536};
537
538=back
539
540=item AnyEvent::Handle::register_write_type type => $coderef->($handle, @args)
541
542This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>.
543Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
544reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
545
546The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
547be appended to the write buffer.
548
549Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
550global, so try to use unique names.

557
558=head2 READ QUEUE
559
560AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
561for reading.
562
563The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
564ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
565a queue.
566
567In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
568new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
569enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>) if you want
570or not.
571
572In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
573case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
574data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
575done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
576
577This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
578a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
579
580Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
581the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
582
583 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
584 $handle->on_read (sub {
585 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
586 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
587 # header arrived, decode
588 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
589
590 # now read the payload
591 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
592 my $xml = $_[1];
593 # handle xml
594 });
595 });
596 });
597
598Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with
599"OK" and another line or "ERROR" for one request, and 64 bytes for the
600second request. Due tot he availability of a full queue, we can just
601pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary in
602the callbacks:
603

60=head1 DESCRIPTION
61
62This module is a helper module to make it easier to do non-blocking I/O
63on filehandles (and sockets, see L<AnyEvent::Socket>).
64
65The event loop is provided by L<AnyEvent>.
66
67=head1 METHODS
68
69=over 4
70
71=item B<new (%args)>
72
73The constructor has these arguments:
74
75=over 4
76
77=item fh => $filehandle
78
79The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
80
81NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking.
82
83=item read_block_size => $size
84
85The default read block size use for reads via the C<on_read>
86method.
87
88=item on_read => $cb
89
90=item on_eof => $cb
91
92=item on_error => $cb
93
94These are shortcuts, that will call the corresponding method and set the callback to C<$cb>.
95
96=item on_readline => $cb
97
98The C<readlines> method is called with the default separated and C<$cb> as callback
99for you.

134 696
135This method returns the filehandle of the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object. 697This replaces the currently set C<on_read> callback, or clears it (when
136 698the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the
137=cut 699constructor.
138
139sub fh { $_[0]->{fh} }
140
141=item B<on_read ($callback)>
142
143This method installs a C<$callback> that will be called
144when new data arrived. You can access the read buffer via the C<rbuf>
145method (see below).
146
147The first argument of the C<$callback> will be the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object.

156 delete $self->{on_read_w}; 711
712Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue).
713
714You can access the read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >> member, if
715you want.
716
717NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
718C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
719automatically manage the read buffer.

729=item $handle->unshift_read ($cb)
730
731Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
732prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
733
734The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
735
736It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
737
738If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
739value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
740available (or an error condition is detected).
741
742If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
743interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
744true, it will be removed from the queue.

788
789Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
790between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
791etc.
792
793Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
794drop by and tell us):
795
796=over 4
797
798=item chunk => $octets, $cb->($handle, $data)
799
800Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
801data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
802data.
803
804Example: read 2 bytes.
805
806 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
807 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];
808 });

829}
830
831=item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
832
833The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
834line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
835marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
836the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
837
838The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
839will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
840object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
841regular expression.
842
843The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
844undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
845protocols).
846
847Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
848not marked by the end of line marker.

877
878=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
879
880Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
881everything up to and including the match.
882
883Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
884
885 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
886
887If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
888to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
889does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
890useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
891receive buffer overflow).
892
893Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
894anything else (not the use of an anchor).
895
896 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
897
898If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
899the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
900and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
901unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
902know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
903have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
904and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
905
906Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
907expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
908a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
909it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
910required for the accept regex.
911
912 $handle->push_read (regex =>
913 qr<\015\012\015\012>,
914 undef, # no reject
915 qr<^.*[^\015\012]>,

990

1023
1024If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1025for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1026
1027This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
10282.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1029dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1030AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1031
1032Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1033types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1034the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1067
1068This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1069
1070Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1071reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1072arguments.
1073
1074The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1075that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1076
1077It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1078pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1079
1080Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1081global, so try to use unique names.
1082
1083For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m AnyEvent::Handle>,
1084search for C<register_read_type>)).
1085
1086=item $handle->stop_read
1087
1088=item $handle->start_read
1089
1090In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1091socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1092any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1093C<start_read>.
1094
1095Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1096you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1097will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1098there are any read requests in the queue.

1184The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1185C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).

1187The second argument is the optional C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object that is
1188used when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object.

1297=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
1298
1299In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
1300
1301To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
1302conventions:
1303
1304=over 4
1305
1306=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
1307
1308At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
1309will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changes or
1310mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
1311
1312=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
1313
1314All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
1315with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
1316for use for subclasses.
1317
1318=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
1319are free to use in subclasses.
1320
1321Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
1322member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
