e2d9456f 146open - perl pragma to set default PerlIO layers for input and output
d1edabcf 147
148=head1 SYNOPSIS
149
d5563ed7 150 use open IN => ":crlf", OUT => ":bytes";
1e616cf5 151 use open OUT => ':utf8';
152 use open IO => ":encoding(iso-8859-7)";
153
154 use open IO => ':locale';
725d232a 155
1e616cf5 156 use open ':utf8';
157 use open ':locale';
158 use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
d1edabcf 159
b178108d 160 use open ':std';
161
d1edabcf 162=head1 DESCRIPTION
163
e2d9456f 164Full-fledged support for I/O layers is now implemented provided
d151aa0e 165Perl is configured to use PerlIO as its IO system (which is now the
166default).
16fe6d59 167
7d3b96bb 168The C<open> pragma serves as one of the interfaces to declare default
fae2c0fb 169"layers" (also known as "disciplines") for all I/O. Any open(),
170readpipe() (aka qx//) and similar operators found within the lexical
171scope of this pragma will use the declared defaults.
7d3b96bb 172
1e616cf5 173With the C<IN> subpragma you can declare the default layers
d8d29d4f 174of input streams, and with the C<OUT> subpragma you can declare
1e616cf5 175the default layers of output streams. With the C<IO> subpragma
176you can control both input and output streams simultaneously.
177
178If you have a legacy encoding, you can use the C<:encoding(...)> tag.
179
e2d9456f 180if you want to set your encoding layers based on your
1e616cf5 181locale environment variables, you can use the C<:locale> tag.
182For example:
183
184 $ENV{LANG} = 'ru_RU.KOI8-R';
dbd62f41 185 # the :locale will probe the locale environment variables like LANG
186 use open OUT => ':locale';
1e616cf5 187 open(O, ">koi8");
23bcb45a 188 print O chr(0x430); # Unicode CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A = KOI8-R 0xc1
1e616cf5 189 close O;
190 open(I, "<koi8");
23bcb45a 191 printf "%#x\n", ord(<I>), "\n"; # this should print 0xc1
1e616cf5 192 close I;
193
194These are equivalent
195
196 use open ':utf8';
197 use open IO => ':utf8';
198
199as are these
200
201 use open ':locale';
202 use open IO => ':locale';
203
204and these
205
206 use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
207 use open IO => ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
208
b5d8778e 209The matching of encoding names is loose: case does not matter, and
210many encodings have several aliases. See L<Encode::Supported> for
211details and the list of supported locales.
212
e2d9456f 213Note that C<:utf8> PerlIO layer must always be specified exactly like
b5d8778e 214that, it is not subject to the loose matching of encoding names.
215
d151aa0e 216When open() is given an explicit list of layers they are appended to
217the list declared using this pragma.
7d3b96bb 218
b178108d 219The C<:std> subpragma on its own has no effect, but if combined with
220the C<:utf8> or C<:encoding> subpragmas, it converts the standard
221filehandles (STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR) to comply with encoding selected
222for input/output handles. For example, if both input and out are
223chosen to be C<:utf8>, a C<:std> will mean that STDIN, STDOUT, and
224STDERR are also in C<:utf8>. On the other hand, if only output is
fb80c70c 225chosen to be in C<< :encoding(koi8r) >>, a C<:std> will cause only the
b178108d 226STDOUT and STDERR to be in C<koi8r>. The C<:locale> subpragma
227implicitly turns on C<:std>.
228
ba9a69eb 229The logic of C<:locale> is as follows:
230
231=over 4
232
233=item 1.
234
235If the platform supports the langinfo(CODESET) interface, the codeset
236returned is used as the default encoding for the open pragma.
237
238=item 2.
239
240If 1. didn't work but we are under the locale pragma, the environment
241variables LC_ALL and LANG (in that order) are matched for encodings
242(the part after C<.>, if any), and if any found, that is used
243as the default encoding for the open pragma.
244
245=item 3.
246
247If 1. and 2. didn't work, the environment variables LC_ALL and LANG
248(in that order) are matched for anything looking like UTF-8, and if
249any found, C<:utf8> is used as the default encoding for the open
250pragma.
251
252=back
253
61de9fb5 254If your locale environment variables (LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG)
b310b053 255contain the strings 'UTF-8' or 'UTF8' (case-insensitive matching),
256the default encoding of your STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR, and of
257B<any subsequent file open>, is UTF-8.
258
e2d9456f 259Directory handles may also support PerlIO layers in the future.
7d3b96bb 260
261=head1 NONPERLIO FUNCTIONALITY
262
d151aa0e 263If Perl is not built to use PerlIO as its IO system then only the two
e2d9456f 264pseudo-layers C<:bytes> and C<:crlf> are available.
16fe6d59 265
e2d9456f 266The C<:bytes> layer corresponds to "binary mode" and the C<:crlf>
267layer corresponds to "text mode" on platforms that distinguish
16fe6d59 268between the two modes when opening files (which is many DOS-like
e2d9456f 269platforms, including Windows). These two layers are no-ops on
d151aa0e 270platforms where binmode() is a no-op, but perform their functions
271everywhere if PerlIO is enabled.
7d3b96bb 272
273=head1 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
d1edabcf 274
f3b00462 275There is a class method in C<PerlIO::Layer> C<find> which is
276implemented as XS code. It is called by C<import> to validate the
277layers:
0c4f7ff0 278
279 PerlIO::Layer::->find("perlio")
280
f3b00462 281The return value (if defined) is a Perl object, of class
282C<PerlIO::Layer> which is created by the C code in F<perlio.c>. As
283yet there is nothing useful you can do with the object at the perl
284level.
