9 =head1 DESCRIPTION
10
11 A more-or-less direct interface to librsync (L<http://rproxy.samba.org>).
12
13 For usage examples (better than this very sparse documentation), see the
14 two example scripts rdiff1 and rdiff2 that came with the distribution.

48 =item LIBRSYNC_VERSION
49
50 A constant describing the version of the rsync library used in this
51 module. My version claimed to be "0.9.5 librsync" when I wrote this
52 document ;)
53
54 =item $oldlevel = trace_level [$newlevel]
55
56 Return the current tracelevel and optionally set a new one.
57
58 =item $oldcb = trace_to [$newcb]
59
60 Return the current trace callback and optionally set a new one. The callback will be
61 called with the log level as the first argument and the log message as the second one.
62
63 Calling C<trace_to> with C<undef> will restore the default handler (which
64 currently prints the message to standard error).
65
66 =item supports_trace
67
68 Returns wether debugging traces are supported in this version of the library.
69
70 =item $msg = strerror $rcode
71
72 Returns a string representation of the given error code. You usually
73 just "exit(1)" or something when a function/method fails, as all (most?)
74 librsync functions log the error properly, so there is rarely a need to
75 call this function.

89 =head2 The File::Rdiff::Job class
90
91 =head2 The File::Rdiff::Buffers class
92
93 This class contains the input and output buffers for the non-blocking interface. It is slightly unusual
94 in that it allows direct manipulation of (some) of it's internal variables.
95

97
98 =item new File::Rdiff::Buffers [$outsize]
99
100 Creates and initializes a new buffers structure. C<$outsize> specifies
101 the maximum number of bytes to be read into the output scalar until it is
102 considered full. The default is 64k.
103
104 =item $buffers->in($in)
105
106 Set the next block of input to consume. Data will be read from this scalar
107 (no copy will be made!) until all bytes have been consumed or a new input
108 scalar is set.
109
110 =item $out = $buffers->out
111
112 Return the current output data and create a new buffer. Returns C<undef> if no data has been accumulated.
113
114 =item $buffers->eof
115
116 Set the eof flag to true. This indicates that no data is following the current input scalar.
117
118 =item $buffers->avail_in
119
120 Returns the numer of bytes still available for input.
121
122 =item $buffers->avail_out
123
124 Returns the number of bytes still available in the output buffer.
125
126 =item $buffers->size
127
128 The number of bytes that have been accumulated in the current buffer so far.

141
142 =head1 BUGS
143
144 - not well-tested so far.
145
146 - low memory will result in segfaults rather than croaks.
147
148 - no access to statistics yet
149
150 - documentation leaves much to be deserved.
