5     =head1 NAME
6    
7     FileCache - keep more files open than the system permits
8    
9     =head1 SYNOPSIS
10    
11     use FileCache;
12     # or
13     use FileCache maxopen => 16;
14    
15     cacheout $mode, $path;
16     # or
17     cacheout $path;
18     print $path @data;
19    
20     $fh = cacheout $mode, $path;
21     # or
22     $fh = cacheout $path;
23     print $fh @data;
24    
25     =head1 DESCRIPTION
26    
27     The C<cacheout> function will make sure that there's a filehandle open
28     for reading or writing available as the pathname you give it. It
29     automatically closes and re-opens files if you exceed your system's
30     maximum number of file descriptors, or the suggested maximum I<maxopen>.
31    
32     =over
33    
34     =item cacheout EXPR
35    
36     The 1-argument form of cacheout will open a file for writing (C<< '>' >>)
37     on it's first use, and appending (C<<< '>>' >>>) thereafter.
38    
39     Returns EXPR on success for convenience. You may neglect the
40     return value and manipulate EXPR as the filehandle directly if you prefer.
41    
42     =item cacheout MODE, EXPR
43    
44     The 2-argument form of cacheout will use the supplied mode for the initial
45     and subsequent openings. Most valid modes for 3-argument C<open> are supported
46     namely; C<< '>' >>, C<< '+>' >>, C<< '<' >>, C<< '<+' >>, C<<< '>>' >>>,
47     C< '|-' > and C< '-|' >
48    
49     To pass supplemental arguments to a program opened with C< '|-' > or C< '-|' >
50     append them to the command string as you would system EXPR.
51    
52     Returns EXPR on success for convenience. You may neglect the
53     return value and manipulate EXPR as the filehandle directly if you prefer.
54    
55     =head1 CAVEATS
56    
57     While it is permissible to C<close> a FileCache managed file,
58     do not do so if you are calling C<FileCache::cacheout> from a package other
59     than which it was imported, or with another module which overrides C<close>.
60     If you must, use C<FileCache::cacheout_close>.
61    
62     Although FileCache can be used with piped opens ('-|' or '|-') doing so is
63     strongly discouraged. If FileCache finds it necessary to close and then reopen
64     a pipe, the command at the far end of the pipe will be reexecuted - the results
65     of performing IO on FileCache'd pipes is unlikely to be what you expect. The
66     ability to use FileCache on pipes may be removed in a future release.
67    
68     FileCache does not store the current file offset if it finds it necessary to
69     close a file. When the file is reopened, the offset will be as specified by the
70     original C<open> file mode. This could be construed to be a bug.
71    
72     =head1 BUGS
73    
74     F<sys/param.h> lies with its C<NOFILE> define on some systems,
75     so you may have to set I<maxopen> yourself.
