109=head1 DESCRIPTION
110
111This module started as an interface to the uulib/uudeview library by Frank
112Pilhofer that can be used to decode all kinds of usenet (and other)
113binary messages.
114
115After upstream abondoned the project, th library was continuously bugfixed
116and improved in this module, with major focuses on security fixes,
117correctness and speed (that does not mean that this library is considered
118safe with untrusted data, but it surely is safer than the poriginal
119uudeview).
120
121Read the file doc/library.pdf from the distribution for in-depth
122information about the C-library used in this interface, and the rest of
123this document and especially the non-trivial decoder program at the end.

210=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
211
212=head2 Initializing and cleanup
213
214Initialize is automatically called when the module is loaded and allocates
215quite a small amount of memory for todays machines ;) CleanUp releases that
216again.
217
218On my machine, a fairly complete decode with DBI backend needs about 10MB
219RSS to decode 20000 files.
220
221=over
222
223=item CleanUp
224
225Release memory, file items and clean up files. Should be called after a
226decoidng run, if you want to start a new one.

233
234=item $option = GetOption OPT_xxx
235

240See the C<OPT_xxx> constants above to see which options exist.

251
252=item SetFNameFilter [callback-function]
253
254=back
255
256=head2 Call the currently selected FNameFilter
257

260=item $file = FNameFilter $file

264=head2 Loading sourcefiles, optionally fuzzy merge and start decoding
265
266=over
267
268=item ($retval, $count) = LoadFile $fname, [$id, [$delflag, [$partno]]]
269
270Load the given file and scan it for encoded contents. Optionally tag it
271with the given id, and if C<$delflag> is true, delete the file after it
272is no longer necessary. If you are certain of the part number, you can
273specify it as the last argument.
274
275A better (usually faster) way of doing this is using the C<SetFNameFilter>
276functionality.
277
278=item $retval = Smerge $pass
279
280If you are desperate, try to call C<Smerge> with increasing C<$pass>
281values, beginning at C<0>, to try to merge parts that usually would not
282have been merged.
283
284Most probably this will result in garbled files, so never do this by
285default, except:
286
287If the C<OPT_AUTOCHECK> option has been disabled (by default it is
288enabled) to speed up file loading, then you I<have> to call C<Smerge -1>
289after loading all files as an additional pre-pass (which is normally done
290by C<LoadFile>).
291
292=item $item = GetFileListItem $item_number
293
294Return the C<$item> structure for the C<$item_number>'th found file, or
295C<undef> of no file with that number exists.
296
297The first file has number C<0>, and the series has no holes, so you can
298iterate over all files by starting with zero and incrementing until you
299hit C<undef>.
300
301This function has to walk the linear list of fils on each access, so
302if you want to iterate over all items, it is usually faster to use
303C<GetFileList>.
304
305=item @items = GetFileList
306
307Similar to C<GetFileListItem>, but returns all files in one go, which is
308very much faster for large number of items, and has no drawbacks when used
309for a small number of items.

318
319Change the ondisk filename where the decoded file will be saved.
320
321=item $retval = $item->decode_temp
322
323Decode the file into a temporary location, use C<< $item->infile >> to
324retrieve the temporary filename.
325
326=item $retval = $item->remove_temp
327
328Remove the temporarily decoded file again.
329
330=item $retval = $item->decode ([$target_path])
331
332Decode the file to its destination, or the given target path.

362=head2 Information about source parts
363
364=over
365
366=item $parts = $item->parts
367
368Return information about all parts (source files) used to decode the file
369as a list of hashrefs with the following structure:
370
371 {
372 partno => <integer describing the part number, starting with 1>,
373 # the following member sonly exist when they contain useful information
374 sfname => <local pathname of the file where this part is from>,
375 filename => <the ondisk filename of the decoded file>,
376 subfname => <used to cluster postings, possibly the posting filename>,
377 subject => <the subject of the posting/mail>,
378 origin => <the possible source (From) address>,
379 mimetype => <the possible mimetype of the decoded file>,
380 mimeid => <the id part of the Content-Type>,
381 }
382
383Usually you are interested mostly the C<sfname> and possibly the C<partno>
384and C<filename> members.

401
402=over
403
404=item $msg = straction ACT_xxx
405
406Return a human readable string representing the given action code.
407
408=item $msg = strerror RET_xxx
409
410Return a human readable string representing the given error code.
411
412=item $str = strencoding xxx_ENCODED
413
414Return the name of the encoding type as a string.
415
416=item $str = strmsglevel MSG_xxx
417
418Returns the message level as a string.
419
420=item SetFileNameCallback $cb
421
422Sets (or queries) the FileNameCallback, which is called whenever the
423decoding library can't find a filename and wants to extract a filename
424from the subject line of a posting. The callback will be called with
425two arguments, the subject line and the current candidate for the
426filename. The latter argument can be C<undef>, which means that no
427filename could be found (and likely no one exists, so it is safe to also
428return C<undef> in this case). If it doesn't return anything (not even
429C<undef>!), then nothing happens, so this is a no-op callback:
430
431 sub cb {
432 return ();
433 }
434
435If it returns C<undef>, then this indicates that no filename could be
436found. In all other cases, the return value is taken to be the filename.
437
438This is a slightly more useful callback:
439
440 sub cb {
441 return unless $_[1]; # skip "Re:"-plies et al.
442 my ($subject, $filename) = @_;
443 # if we find some *.rar, take it
444 return $1 if $subject =~ /(\w+\.rar)/;
445 # otherwise just pass what we have

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; 594 $item->decode_temp
274 $retval = $item->remove_temp; 595 $item->remove_temp
275 $retval = $item->decode([$target_path]); 596 $item->info
276 $retval = $item->info(callback-function);
277 597
278Querying (and setting) item attributes: 598The perl interpreter will be reacquired/released on every callback
599invocation, so for performance reasons, callbacks should be avoided if
600that is costly.
279 601
280 $state = $item->state; 602Future 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;

290Totally undocumented and unsupported(!): 604=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
291 605
292 $parts = $item->parts; 606The original uulib library this module uses was written at a time where
607main memory of measured in megabytes and buffer overflows as a security
608thign didn't exist. While a lot of security fixes have been applied over
609the years (includign some defense in depth mechanism that can shield
610against a lot of as-of-yet undetected bugs), using this library for
611security purposes requires care.
293 612
294Functions below not documented and not very well tested: 613Likewise, file sizes when the uulib library was written were tiny compared
614to today, so do not expect this library to handle files larger than 2GB,
615certainly not on a 32 bit host.
295 616

298 int EncodePartial () ; 619modules - for example, accessing a file item object after calling
299 int EncodeToStream () ; 620C<CleanUp> will likely result in crashes, memory corruption, or worse.
