43 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
44 | |
55497cff |
45 | C<IO::File> inherits from C<IO::Handle> and C<IO::Seekable>. It extends |
27d4819a |
46 | these classes with methods that are specific to file handles. |
8add82fc |
47 | |

48 | =head1 CONSTRUCTOR |
49 | |
50 | =over 4 |
51 | |
52 | =item new ([ ARGS ] ) |
53 | |
54 | Creates a C<IO::File>. If it receives any parameters, they are passed to |
55 | the method C<open>; if the open fails, the object is destroyed. Otherwise, |
56 | it is returned to the caller. |
57 | |
9f01644e |
58 | =item new_tmpfile |
59 | |
60 | Creates an C<IO::File> opened for read/write on a newly created temporary |
61 | file. On systems where this is possible, the temporary file is anonymous |
62 | (i.e. it is unlinked after creation, but held open). If the temporary |
63 | file cannot be created or opened, the C<IO::File> object is destroyed. |
64 | Otherwise, it is returned to the caller. |

68 | =head1 METHODS |
69 | |
70 | =over 4 |
71 | |
72 | =item open( FILENAME [,MODE [,PERMS]] ) |
73 | |
74 | C<open> accepts one, two or three parameters. With one parameter, |
8add82fc |
75 | it is just a front end for the built-in C<open> function. With two |
76 | parameters, the first parameter is a filename that may include |
77 | whitespace or other special characters, and the second parameter is |
223d223e |
78 | the open mode, optionally followed by a file permission value. |
79 | |
27d4819a |
80 | If C<IO::File::open> receives a Perl mode string ("E<gt>", "+E<lt>", etc.) |
223d223e |
81 | or a POSIX fopen() mode string ("w", "r+", etc.), it uses the basic |
82 | Perl C<open> operator. |
83 | |
84 | If C<IO::File::open> is given a numeric mode, it passes that mode |
85 | and the optional permissions value to the Perl C<sysopen> operator. |
86 | For convenience, C<IO::File::import> tries to import the O_XXX |
87 | constants from the Fcntl module. If dynamic loading is not available, |
88 | this may fail, but the rest of IO::File will still work. |
