# GDBM_File.pm -- Perl 5 interface to GNU gdbm library. =head1 NAME GDBM_File - Perl5 access to the gdbm library. =head1 SYNOPSIS use GDBM_File; [$db =] tie %hash, 'GDBM_File', $filename, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0640; # Use the %hash array. $e = $db->errno; $e = $db->syserrno; $str = $db->strerror; $bool = $db->needs_recovery; $db->clear_error; $db->reorganize; $db->sync; $n = $db->count; $n = $db->flags; $str = $db->dbname; $db->cache_size; $db->cache_size($newsize); $n = $db->block_size; $bool = $db->sync_mode; $db->sync_mode($bool); $bool = $db->centfree; $db->centfree($bool); $bool = $db->coalesce; $db->coalesce($bool); $bool = $db->mmap; $size = $db->mmapsize; $db->mmapsize($newsize); $db->recover(%args); untie %hash ; =head1 DESCRIPTION B<GDBM_File> is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library. If you intend to use this module you should really have a copy of the gdbm manualpage at hand. Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available through the GDBM_File interface. Unlike Perl's built-in hashes, it is not safe to C<delete> the current item from a GDBM_File tied hash while iterating over it with C<each>. This is a limitation of the gdbm library. =head1 STATIC METHODS =head2 GDBM_version $str = GDBM_File->GDBM_version; @ar = GDBM_File->GDBM_version; Returns the version number of the underlying B<libgdbm> library. In scalar context, returns the library version formatted as string: MINOR.MAJOR[.PATCH][ (GUESS)] where I<MINOR>, I<MAJOR>, and I<PATCH> are version numbers, and I<GUESS> is a guess level (see below). In list context, returns a list: ( MINOR, MAJOR, PATCH [, GUESS] ) The I<GUESS> component is present only if B<libgdbm> version is 1.8.3 or earlier. This is because earlier releases of B<libgdbm> did not include information about their version and the B<GDBM_File> module has to implement certain guesswork in order to determine it. I<GUESS> is a textual description in string context, and a positive number indicating how rough the guess is in list context. Possible values are: =over 4 =item 1 - exact guess The major and minor version numbers are guaranteed to be correct. The actual patchlevel is most probably guessed right, but can be 1-2 less than indicated. =item 2 - approximate The major and minor number are guaranteed to be correct. The patchlevel is set to the upper bound. =item 3 - rough guess The version is guaranteed to be not newer than B<I<MAJOR>.I<MINOR>>. =back =head1 METHODS =head2 close $db->close; Closes the database. You are not advised to use this method directly. Please, use B<untie> instead. =head2 errno $db->errno Returns the last error status associated with this database. =head2 syserrno $db->syserrno Returns the last system error status (C C<errno> variable), associated with this database, =head2 strerror $db->strerror Returns textual description of the last error that occurred in this database. =head2 clear_error $db->clear_error Clear error status. =head2 needs_recovery $db->needs_recovery Returns true if the database needs recovery. =head2 reorganize $db->reorganize; Reorganizes the database. =head2 sync $db->sync; Synchronizes recent changes to the database with its disk copy. =head2 count $n = $db->count; Returns number of keys in the database. =head2 flags $db->flags; Returns flags passed as 4th argument to B<tie>. =head2 dbname $db->dbname; Returns the database name (i.e. 3rd argument to B<tie>. =head2 cache_size $db->cache_size; $db->cache_size($newsize); Returns the size of the internal B<GDBM> cache for that database. Called with argument, sets the size to I<$newsize>. =head2 block_size $db->block_size; Returns the block size of the database. =head2 sync_mode $db->sync_mode; $db->sync_mode($bool); Returns the status of the automatic synchronization mode. Called with argument, enables or disables the sync mode, depending on whether $bool is B<true> or B<false>. When synchronization mode is on (B<true>), any changes to the database are immediately written to the disk. This ensures database consistency in case of any unforeseen errors (e.g. power failures), at the expense of considerable slowdown of operation. Synchronization mode is off by default. =head2 centfree $db->centfree; $db->centfree($bool); Returns status of the central free block pool (B<0> - disabled, B<1> - enabled). With argument, changes its status. By default, central free block pool is disabled. =head2 coalesce $db->coalesce; $db->coalesce($bool); =head2 mmap $db->mmap; Returns true if memory mapping is enabled. This method will B<croak> if the B<libgdbm> library is complied without memory mapping support. =head2 mmapsize $db->mmapsize; $db->mmapsize($newsize); If memory mapping is enabled, returns the size of memory mapping. With argument, sets the size to B<$newsize>. This method will B<croak> if the B<libgdbm> library is complied without memory mapping support. =head2 recover $db->recover(%args); Recovers data from a failed database. B<%args> is optional and can contain following keys: =over 4 =item err => sub { ... } Reference to code for detailed error reporting. Upon encountering an error, B<recover> will call this sub with a single argument - a description of the error. =item backup => \$str Creates a backup copy of the database before recovery and returns its filename in B<$str>. =item max_failed_keys => $n Maximum allowed number of failed keys. If the actual number becomes equal to I<$n>, B<recover> aborts and returns error. =item max_failed_buckets => $n Maximum allowed number of failed buckets. If the actual number becomes equal to I<$n>, B<recover> aborts and returns error. =item max_failures => $n Maximum allowed number of failures during recovery. =item stat => \%hash Return recovery statistics in I<%hash>. Upon return, the following keys will be present: =over 8 =item recovered_keys Number of successfully recovered keys. =item recovered_buckets Number of successfully recovered buckets. =item failed_keys Number of keys that failed to be retrieved. =item failed_buckets Number of buckets that failed to be retrieved. =back =back =head1 AVAILABILITY gdbm is available from any GNU archive. The master site is C<ftp.gnu.org>, but you are strongly urged to use one of the many mirrors. You can obtain a list of mirror sites from L<http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>. =head1 SECURITY AND PORTABILITY B<Do not accept GDBM files from untrusted sources.> GDBM files are not portable across platforms. The GDBM documentation doesn't imply that files from untrusted sources can be safely used with C<libgdbm>. A maliciously crafted file might cause perl to crash or even expose a security vulnerability. =head1 SEE ALSO L<perl(1)>, L<DB_File(3)>, L<perldbmfilter>, L<gdbm(3)>, L<https://www.gnu.org.ua/software/gdbm/manual.html>. =cut package GDBM_File; use strict; use warnings; our($VERSION, @ISA, @EXPORT); require Carp; require Tie::Hash; require Exporter; require XSLoader; @ISA = qw(Tie::Hash Exporter); @EXPORT = qw( GDBM_CACHESIZE GDBM_CENTFREE GDBM_COALESCEBLKS GDBM_FAST GDBM_FASTMODE GDBM_INSERT GDBM_NEWDB GDBM_NOLOCK GDBM_OPENMASK GDBM_READER GDBM_REPLACE GDBM_SYNC GDBM_SYNCMODE GDBM_WRCREAT GDBM_WRITER ); # This module isn't dual life, so no need for dev version numbers. $VERSION = '1.19'; XSLoader::load(); 1;
