108=head1 SMALL EXAMPLE DECODER
109
110The following code excerpt is a minimal decoder program. It reads all
111files given on the commandline and decodes any files in it.
112
113 use Convert::UUlib ':all'; 96 use Convert::UUlib ':all';
114 97
98 # read all the files named on the commandline and decode them
99 # into the CURRENT directory. See below for a longer example.
115 LoadFile($_) for @ARGV; 100 LoadFile $_ for @ARGV;
116 101
117 for($i=0; $uu=GetFileListItem($i); $i++) { 102 for my $uu (GetFileList) {
118 $uu->decode if $uu->state & FILE_OK; 103 if ($uu->state & FILE_OK) {
104 $uu->decode;
105 print $uu->filename, "\n";
106 }
119 } 107 }

202=head2 Initializing and cleanup
203
204Initialize is automatically called when the module is loaded and allocates
205quite a small amount of memory for todays machines ;) CleanUp releases that
206again.
207
208On my machine, a fairly complete decode with DBI backend needs about 10MB
209RSS to decode 20000 files.
210
211=over
212
213=item CleanUp
214
215Release memory, file items and clean up files. Should be called after a
216decoidng run, if you want to start a new one.

220=head2 Setting and querying options
221
222=over
223
224=item $option = GetOption OPT_xxx
225
226=item SetOption OPT_xxx, opt-value
227
228=back
229
230See the C<OPT_xxx> constants above to see which options exist.
231
232=head2 Setting various callbacks
233
234=over
235
236=item SetMsgCallback [callback-function]
237
238=item SetBusyCallback [callback-function]
239
240=item SetFileCallback [callback-function]
241
242=item SetFNameFilter [callback-function]
243
244=back
245
246=head2 Call the currently selected FNameFilter
247
248=over
249
250=item $file = FNameFilter $file

253
254=head2 Loading sourcefiles, optionally fuzzy merge and start decoding
255
256=over
257
258=item ($retval, $count) = LoadFile $fname, [$id, [$delflag, [$partno]]]
259
260Load the given file and scan it for encoded contents. Optionally tag it
261with the given id, and if C<$delflag> is true, delete the file after it
262is no longer necessary. If you are certain of the part number, you can
263specify it as the last argument.
264
265A better (usually faster) way of doing this is using the C<SetFNameFilter>
266functionality.
267
268=item $retval = Smerge $pass
269
270If you are desperate, try to call C<Smerge> with increasing C<$pass>
271values, beginning at C<0>, to try to merge parts that usually would not
272have been merged.
273
274Most probably this will result in garbled files, so never do this by
275default, except:
276
277If the C<OPT_AUTOCHECK> option has been disabled (by default it is
278enabled) to speed up file loading, then you I<have> to call C<Smerge -1>
279after loading all files as an additional pre-pass (which is normally done
280by C<LoadFile>).
281
282=item $item = GetFileListItem $item_number
283
284Return the C<$item> structure for the C<$item_number>'th found file, or
285C<undef> of no file with that number exists.
286
287The first file has number C<0>, and the series has no holes, so you can
288iterate over all files by starting with zero and incrementing until you
289hit C<undef>.
290
291This function has to walk the linear list of fils on each access, so
292if you want to iterate over all items, it is usually faster to use
293C<GetFileList>.
294
295=item @items = GetFileList
296
297Similar to C<GetFileListItem>, but returns all files in one go.

306
307Change the ondisk filename where the decoded file will be saved.
308
309=item $retval = $item->decode_temp
310
311Decode the file into a temporary location, use C<< $item->infile >> to
312retrieve the temporary filename.
313
314=item $retval = $item->remove_temp
315
316Remove the temporarily decoded file again.
317
318=item $retval = $item->decode ([$target_path])
319
320Decode the file to its destination, or the given target path.

350=head2 Information about source parts
351
352=over
353
354=item $parts = $item->parts
355
356Return information about all parts (source files) used to decode the file
357as a list of hashrefs with the following structure:
358
359 {
360 partno => <integer describing the part number, starting with 1>,
361 # the following member sonly exist when they contain useful information
362 sfname => <local pathname of the file where this part is from>,
363 filename => <the ondisk filename of the decoded file>,
364 subfname => <used to cluster postings, possibly the posting filename>,
365 subject => <the subject of the posting/mail>,
366 origin => <the possible source (From) address>,
367 mimetype => <the possible mimetype of the decoded file>,
368 mimeid => <the id part of the Content-Type>,
369 }
370
371Usually you are interested mostly the C<sfname> and possibly the C<partno>
372and C<filename> members.

391
392=item $msg = straction ACT_xxx
393
394Return a human readable string representing the given action code.
395
396=item $msg = strerror RET_xxx
397
398Return a human readable string representing the given error code.
399
400=item $str = strencoding xxx_ENCODED
401
402Return the name of the encoding type as a string.
403
404=item $str = strmsglevel MSG_xxx
405
406Returns the message level as a string.
407
408=item SetFileNameCallback $cb
409
410Sets (or queries) the FileNameCallback, which is called whenever the
411decoding library can't find a filename and wants to extract a filename
412from the subject line of a posting. The callback will be called with
413two arguments, the subject line and the current candidate for the
414filename. The latter argument can be C<undef>, which means that no
415filename could be found (and likely no one exists, so it is safe to also
416return C<undef> in this case). If it doesn't return anything (not even
417C<undef>!), then nothing happens, so this is a no-op callback:
418
419 sub cb {
420 return ();
421 }
422
423If it returns C<undef>, then this indicates that no filename could be
424found. In all other cases, the return value is taken to be the filename.
425
426This is a slightly more useful callback:
427
428 sub cb {
429 return unless $_[1]; # skip "Re:"-plies et al.
430 my ($subject, $filename) = @_;
431 # if we find some *.rar, take it
432 return $1 if $subject =~ /(\w+\.rar)/;
433 # otherwise just pass what we have

200Action code constants: 572This module supports the perlmulticore standard (see
573L<http://perlmulticore.schmorp.de/> for more info) for the following
574functions - generally these are functions accessing the disk and/or using
575considerable CPU time:

235
236Initializing and cleanup (Initialize is automatically called when the
237module is loaded and allocates quite a bit of memory. CleanUp releases
238that again).
239
240 Initialize; # not normally necessary
241 CleanUp; # could be called at the end to release memory
242
243Setting and querying options:
244
245 $option = GetOption OPT_xxx;
246 SetOption OPT_xxx, opt-value;
247
248Error and action values => stringified:
249
250 $msg = straction ACT_xxx;
251 $msg = strerror RET_xxx;
252
253Setting various callbacks:
254
255 SetMsgCallback [callback-function];
256 SetBusyCallback [callback-function];
257 SetFileCallback [callback-function];
258 SetFNameFilter [callback-function];
259
260Call the currently selected FNameFilter:
261
262 $file = FNameFilter $file;
263
264Loading sourcefiles, optionally fuzzy merge and start decoding:
265
266 ($retval, $count) = LoadFile $fname, [$id, [$delflag]];
267 $retval = Smerge $pass;
268 $item = GetFileListItem $item_number;
269
270The procedural interface is undocumented, use the following methods instead:
271
272 $retval = $item->rename($newname);
273 $retval = $item->decode_temp; 579 $item->decode_temp
274 $retval = $item->remove_temp; 580 $item->remove_temp
275 $retval = $item->decode([$target_path]); 581 $item->info
276 $retval = $item->info(callback-function);
277 582
278Querying (and setting) item attributes: 583The perl interpreter will be reacquired/released on every callback
584invocation, so for performance reasons, callbacks should be avoided if
585that is costly.
279 586
280 $state = $item->state; 587Future versions might enable multicore support for more functions.
281 $mode = $item->mode([newmode]);
282 $uudet = $item->uudet;
283 $size = $item->size;
284 $filename = $item->filename([newfilename});
285 $subfname = $item->subfname;
286 $mimeid = $item->mimeid;
287 $mimetype = $item->mimetype;
288 $binfile = $item->binfile;

291 590
292 $parts = $item->parts; 591The original uulib library this module uses was written at a time where
592main memory of measured in megabytes and buffer overflows as a security
593thign didn't exist. While a lot of security fixes have been applied over
594the years (includign some defense in depth mechanism that can shield
595against a lot of as-of-yet undetected bugs), using this library for
596security purposes requires care.
293 597
294Functions below not documented and not very well tested: 598Likewise, file sizes when the uulib library was written were tiny compared
599to today, so do not expect this library to handle files larger than 2GB.
