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 =head2 SIGPIPE is not handled by this module
65
66 SIGPIPE is not handled by this module, so one of the practical
67 requirements of using it is to ignore SIGPIPE (C<$SIG{PIPE} =
68 'IGNORE'>). At least, this is highly recommend in a networked program: If
69 you use AnyEvent::Handle in a filter program (like sort), exiting on
70 SIGPIPE is probably the right thing to do.
71
72 =head1 METHODS
73
74 =over 4
75
76 =item B<new (%args)>
77
78 The constructor supports these arguments (all as key => value pairs).
79
80 =over 4
81
82 =item fh => $filehandle [MANDATORY]
83
84 The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
85
86 NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
87 C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
88 that mode.
89
90 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
91
92 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
93 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
94 connection cleanly.
95
96 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
97 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the eof
98 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
99 down.
100
101 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an eof callback,
102 otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
103 waiting for data.
104
105 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
106 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
107
108 =item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal)
109
110 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
111 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
112 connect or a read error.
113
114 Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
115 fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be usable
116 (but you are free to look at the current C<< ->rbuf >>). Examples of fatal
117 errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
118 (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
119
120 Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
121 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
122 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
123 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
124
125 On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
126 error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT> or C<EBADMSG>).
127
128 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
129 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
130 C<croak>.
131
132 =item on_read => $cb->($handle)
133
134 This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
135 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
136 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
137 read buffer).
138
139 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
140 method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly.
141
142 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
143 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
144 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
145 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
146
147 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
148
149 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
150 (or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
151
152 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
153
154 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
155 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
156 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
157 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
158 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
159
160 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
161
162 If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
163 seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
164 handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
165 missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
166
167 Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
168 any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
169 idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
170 in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
171 restart the timeout.
172
173 Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
174
175 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
176
177 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
178 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
179 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
180
181 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
182
183 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
184 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
185 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
186
187 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
188 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
189 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
190 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
191 isn't finished).
192
193 =item autocork => <boolean>
194
195 When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
196 write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
197 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
198 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
199 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
200 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
201
202 When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
203 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
204 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
205 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
206
207 =item no_delay => <boolean>
208
209 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
210 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
211 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
212
213 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
214 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
215
216 The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
217 enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
218
219 =item read_size => <bytes>
220
221 The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
222 try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
223 requirements). Default: C<8192>.
224
225 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
226
227 Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
228 buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
229 considered empty.
230
231 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
232 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
233 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
234 is good in almost all cases.
235
236 =item linger => <seconds>
237
238 If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
239 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
240 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
241 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
242 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
243
244 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
245 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
246 help.
247
248 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
249
250 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
251 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
252 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
253
254 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
255 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
256 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
257 to add the dependency yourself.
258
259 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
260 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
261 mode.
262
263 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
264 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
265 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
266 AnyEvent::Handle.
267
268 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
269
270 =item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx
271
272 Use the given C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object to create the new TLS connection
273 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
274 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
275
276 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
277
278 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
279
280 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
281 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
282 texts.
283
284 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
285 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

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

478
479 =item $handle->on_drain ($cb)

495 =item $handle->push_write ($data)
496
497 Queues the given scalar to be written. You can push as much data as you

499 buffers it independently of the kernel.

564 Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module do
565 the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments.

599
600 =item json => $array_or_hashref
601
602 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
603 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
604 in UTF-8.
605
606 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
607 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
608 additional framing.
609
610 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
611 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
612 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
613
614 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
615 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as

617 JSON text:
618
619 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
620 $handle->push_write ("\012");
621
622 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
623 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
624
625 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
626
627 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
628 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

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

676 =head2 READ QUEUE
677
678 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
679 for reading.
680
681 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
682 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
683 a queue.
684
685 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
686 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
687 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you cna
688 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
689 partial message has been received so far).
690
691 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
692 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
693 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
694 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
695
696 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
697 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
698
699 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
700 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
701
702 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
703 $handle->on_read (sub {
704 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
705 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
706 # header arrived, decode
707 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
708
709 # now read the payload
710 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
711 my $xml = $_[1];
712 # handle xml
713 });
714 });
715 });
716
717 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
718 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
719 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
720 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
721 in the callbacks.
722
723 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
724 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
725 64-byte chunk callback.
726
727 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
728 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
729
730 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
731 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
732 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
733 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
734 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
735 # we don't do this in case we got an error
736 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
737 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
738 my $response = $_[1];
739 ...
740 });
741 }
742 });
743
744 # request two, simply returns 64 octets
745 $handle->push_write ("request 2\015\012");
746
747 # simply read 64 bytes, always
748 $handle->push_read (chunk => 64, sub {

863
864 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
865 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
866 available (or an error condition is detected).
867
868 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
869 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
870 true, it will be removed from the queue.

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

925
926 Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
927 data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
928 data.
929
930 Example: read 2 bytes.

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

945 }
946 };
947
948 =item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
949
950 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
951 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
952 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
953 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
954
955 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
956 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
957 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
958 regular expression.
959
960 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
961 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
962 protocols).
963
964 Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
965 not marked by the end of line marker.

993 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
994
995 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
996 everything up to and including the match.
997
998 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
999
1000 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1001
1002 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1003 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1004 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1005 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1006 receive buffer overflow).
1007
1008 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1009 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1010
1011 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1012
1013 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1014 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1015 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1016 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1017 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1018 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1019 and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1020
1021 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1022 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1023 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1024 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1025 required for the accept regex.

1027 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1028 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1236
1237 This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1238
1239 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1240 reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1241 arguments.
1242
1243 The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1244 that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1245
1246 It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1247 pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1248
1249 Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1250 global, so try to use unique names.
1251
1252 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m AnyEvent::Handle>,
1253 search for C<register_read_type>)).
1254
1255 =item $handle->stop_read
1256
1257 =item $handle->start_read
1258
1259 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1260 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1261 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1262 C<start_read>.
1263
1264 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1265 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1266 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1267 there are any read requests in the queue.
1268
1269 These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support
1270 half-duplex connections).

1356 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1357 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1358 C<starttls>.
1359
1360 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1361 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1362
1363 The second argument is the optional C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object that is
1364 used when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object.
1365
1366 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >> after this
1367 call and can be used or changed to your liking. Note that the handshake
1368 might have already started when this function returns.

1516 =head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
1517
1518 In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
1519
1520 To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
1521 conventions:
1522
1523 =over 4
1524
1525 =item * all constructor arguments become object members.
1526
1527 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
1528 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
1529 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
1530
1531 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
1532
1533 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
1534 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
1535 for use for subclasses.
1536
1537 =item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
1538 are free to use in subclasses.
1539
1540 Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
1541 member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
