275=head1 DESCRIPTION
276
277This module provides a Perl interface that allows the reading of
278files/buffers that have been compressed with a variety of compression
279libraries.
280
281The formats supported are:
282
283=over 5
284
285=item RFC 1950
286
287=item RFC 1951 (optionally)
288
289=item gzip (RFC 1952)
290
291=item zip
292
293=item bzip2
294
295=item lzop
296
297=item lzf
298
299=item lzma
300
301=item xz
302
303=back
304
305The module will auto-detect which, if any, of the supported
306compression formats is being used.
307
308=head1 Functional Interface
309
310A top-level function, C<anyuncompress>, is provided to carry out
311"one-shot" uncompression between buffers and/or files. For finer
312control over the uncompression process, see the L</"OO Interface">
313section.
314
315    use IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress qw(anyuncompress $AnyUncompressError) ;
316
317    anyuncompress $input => $output [,OPTS]
318        or die "anyuncompress failed: $AnyUncompressError\n";
319
320The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.
321
322=head2 anyuncompress $input => $output [, OPTS]
323
324C<anyuncompress> expects at least two parameters, C<$input> and C<$output>.
325
326=head3 The C<$input> parameter
327
328The parameter, C<$input>, is used to define the source of
329the compressed data.
330
331It can take one of the following forms:
332
333=over 5
334
335=item A filename
336
337If the C<$input> parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
338filename. This file will be opened for reading and the input data
339will be read from it.
340
341=item A filehandle
342
343If the C<$input> parameter is a filehandle, the input data will be
344read from it.
345The string '-' can be used as an alias for standard input.
346
347=item A scalar reference
348
349If C<$input> is a scalar reference, the input data will be read
350from C<$$input>.
351
352=item An array reference
353
354If C<$input> is an array reference, each element in the array must be a
355filename.
356
357The input data will be read from each file in turn.
358
359The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only
360contains valid filenames before any data is uncompressed.
361
362=item An Input FileGlob string
363
364If C<$input> is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">"
365C<anyuncompress> will assume that it is an I<input fileglob string>. The
366input is the list of files that match the fileglob.
367
368See L<File::GlobMapper|File::GlobMapper> for more details.
369
370=back
371
372If the C<$input> parameter is any other type, C<undef> will be returned.
373
374=head3 The C<$output> parameter
375
376The parameter C<$output> is used to control the destination of the
377uncompressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
378
379=over 5
380
381=item A filename
382
383If the C<$output> parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
384filename.  This file will be opened for writing and the uncompressed
385data will be written to it.
386
387=item A filehandle
388
389If the C<$output> parameter is a filehandle, the uncompressed data
390will be written to it.
391The string '-' can be used as an alias for standard output.
392
393=item A scalar reference
394
395If C<$output> is a scalar reference, the uncompressed data will be
396stored in C<$$output>.
397
398=item An Array Reference
399
400If C<$output> is an array reference, the uncompressed data will be
401pushed onto the array.
402
403=item An Output FileGlob
404
405If C<$output> is a string that is delimited by the characters "<" and ">"
406C<anyuncompress> will assume that it is an I<output fileglob string>. The
407output is the list of files that match the fileglob.
408
409When C<$output> is an fileglob string, C<$input> must also be a fileglob
410string. Anything else is an error.
411
412See L<File::GlobMapper|File::GlobMapper> for more details.
413
414=back
415
416If the C<$output> parameter is any other type, C<undef> will be returned.
417
418=head2 Notes
419
420When C<$input> maps to multiple compressed files/buffers and C<$output> is
421a single file/buffer, after uncompression C<$output> will contain a
422concatenation of all the uncompressed data from each of the input
423files/buffers.
424
425=head2 Optional Parameters
426
427Unless specified below, the optional parameters for C<anyuncompress>,
428C<OPTS>, are the same as those used with the OO interface defined in the
429L</"Constructor Options"> section below.
430
431=over 5
432
433=item C<< AutoClose => 0|1 >>
434
435This option applies to any input or output data streams to
436C<anyuncompress> that are filehandles.
437
438If C<AutoClose> is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all
439input and/or output filehandles being closed once C<anyuncompress> has
440completed.
441
442This parameter defaults to 0.
443
444=item C<< BinModeOut => 0|1 >>
445
446When writing to a file or filehandle, set C<binmode> before writing to the
447file.
448
449Defaults to 0.
450
451=item C<< Append => 0|1 >>
452
453The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data
454stream.
455
456=over 5
457
458=item * A Buffer
459
460If C<Append> is enabled, all uncompressed data will be append to the end of
461the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any
462uncompressed data is written to it.
463
464=item * A Filename
465
466If C<Append> is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise
467the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any uncompressed
468data is written to it.
469
470=item * A Filehandle
471
472If C<Append> is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of
473the file via a call to C<seek> before any uncompressed data is
474written to it.  Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
475
476=back
477
478When C<Append> is specified, and set to true, it will I<append> all uncompressed
479data to the output data stream.
480
481So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof
482before writing any uncompressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for
483appending. If the output is a buffer, all uncompressed data will be
484appended to the existing buffer.
485
486Conversely when C<Append> is not specified, or it is present and is set to
487false, it will operate as follows.
488
489When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file
490before writing any uncompressed data. If the output is a filehandle
491its position will not be changed. If the output is a buffer, it will be
492wiped before any uncompressed data is output.
493
494Defaults to 0.
495
496=item C<< MultiStream => 0|1 >>
497
498If the input file/buffer contains multiple compressed data streams, this
499option will uncompress the whole lot as a single data stream.
500
501Defaults to 0.
502
503=item C<< TrailingData => $scalar >>
504
505Returns the data, if any, that is present immediately after the compressed
506data stream once uncompression is complete.
507
508This option can be used when there is useful information immediately
509following the compressed data stream, and you don't know the length of the
510compressed data stream.
511
512If the input is a buffer, C<trailingData> will return everything from the
513end of the compressed data stream to the end of the buffer.
514
515If the input is a filehandle, C<trailingData> will return the data that is
516left in the filehandle input buffer once the end of the compressed data
517stream has been reached. You can then use the filehandle to read the rest
518of the input file.
519
520Don't bother using C<trailingData> if the input is a filename.
521
522If you know the length of the compressed data stream before you start
523uncompressing, you can avoid having to use C<trailingData> by setting the
524C<InputLength> option.

562    anyuncompress '</my/home/*.txt.Compressed>' => '</my/home/#1.txt>'
563        or die "anyuncompress failed: $AnyUncompressError\n";
564
565and if you want to compress each file one at a time, this will do the trick
566
567    use strict ;
568    use warnings ;
569    use IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress qw(anyuncompress $AnyUncompressError) ;
570
571    for my $input ( glob "/my/home/*.txt.Compressed" )
572    {
573        my $output = $input;
574        $output =~ s/.Compressed// ;
575        anyuncompress $input => $output
576            or die "Error compressing '$input': $AnyUncompressError\n";
577    }

579=head1 OO Interface
580
581=head2 Constructor
582
583The format of the constructor for IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress is shown below
584
585    my $z = new IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress $input [OPTS]
586        or die "IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress failed: $AnyUncompressError\n";
587
588Returns an C<IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress> object on success and undef on failure.
589The variable C<$AnyUncompressError> will contain an error message on failure.
590
591If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, C<$z>, returned from
592IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress can be used exactly like an L<IO::File|IO::File> filehandle.
593This means that all normal input file operations can be carried out with
594C<$z>.  For example, to read a line from a compressed file/buffer you can
595use either of these forms
596
597    $line = $z->getline();
598    $line = <$z>;
599
600The mandatory parameter C<$input> is used to determine the source of the
601compressed data. This parameter can take one of three forms.
602
603=over 5
604
605=item A filename
606
607If the C<$input> parameter is a scalar, it is assumed to be a filename. This
608file will be opened for reading and the compressed data will be read from it.
609
610=item A filehandle
611
612If the C<$input> parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be
613read from it.
614The string '-' can be used as an alias for standard input.
615
616=item A scalar reference
617
618If C<$input> is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be read from
619C<$$output>.
620
621=back
622
623=head2 Constructor Options
624
625The option names defined below are case insensitive and can be optionally
626prefixed by a '-'.  So all of the following are valid
627
628    -AutoClose
629    -autoclose
630    AUTOCLOSE
631    autoclose
632
633OPTS is a combination of the following options:
634
635=over 5
636
637=item C<< AutoClose => 0|1 >>
638
639This option is only valid when the C<$input> parameter is a filehandle. If
640specified, and the value is true, it will result in the file being closed once
641either the C<close> method is called or the IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress object is
642destroyed.
643
644This parameter defaults to 0.
645
646=item C<< MultiStream => 0|1 >>
647
648Allows multiple concatenated compressed streams to be treated as a single
649compressed stream. Decompression will stop once either the end of the
650file/buffer is reached, an error is encountered (premature eof, corrupt
651compressed data) or the end of a stream is not immediately followed by the
652start of another stream.
653
654This parameter defaults to 0.
655
656=item C<< Prime => $string >>
657
658This option will uncompress the contents of C<$string> before processing the
659input file/buffer.
660
661This option can be useful when the compressed data is embedded in another
662file/data structure and it is not possible to work out where the compressed
663data begins without having to read the first few bytes. If this is the
664case, the uncompression can be I<primed> with these bytes using this
665option.
666
667=item C<< Transparent => 0|1 >>
668
669If this option is set and the input file/buffer is not compressed data,
670the module will allow reading of it anyway.
671
672In addition, if the input file/buffer does contain compressed data and
673there is non-compressed data immediately following it, setting this option
674will make this module treat the whole file/buffer as a single data stream.
675
676This option defaults to 1.
677
678=item C<< BlockSize => $num >>
679
680When reading the compressed input data, IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress will read it in
681blocks of C<$num> bytes.
682
683This option defaults to 4096.
684
685=item C<< InputLength => $size >>
686
687When present this option will limit the number of compressed bytes read
688from the input file/buffer to C<$size>. This option can be used in the
689situation where there is useful data directly after the compressed data
690stream and you know beforehand the exact length of the compressed data
691stream.
692
693This option is mostly used when reading from a filehandle, in which case
694the file pointer will be left pointing to the first byte directly after the
695compressed data stream.
696
697This option defaults to off.
698
699=item C<< Append => 0|1 >>
700
701This option controls what the C<read> method does with uncompressed data.
702
703If set to 1, all uncompressed data will be appended to the output parameter
704of the C<read> method.
705
706If set to 0, the contents of the output parameter of the C<read> method
707will be overwritten by the uncompressed data.
708
709Defaults to 0.
710
711=item C<< Strict => 0|1 >>
712
713This option controls whether the extra checks defined below are used when
714carrying out the decompression. When Strict is on, the extra tests are
715carried out, when Strict is off they are not.
716
717The default for this option is off.
718
719=item C<< RawInflate => 0|1 >>
720
721When auto-detecting the compressed format, try to test for raw-deflate (RFC
7221951) content using the C<IO::Uncompress::RawInflate> module.
723
724The reason this is not default behaviour is because RFC 1951 content can
725only be detected by attempting to uncompress it. This process is error
726prone and can result is false positives.
727
728Defaults to 0.
729
730=item C<< UnLzma => 0|1 >>
731
732When auto-detecting the compressed format, try to test for lzma_alone
733content using the C<IO::Uncompress::UnLzma> module.
734
735The reason this is not default behaviour is because lzma_alone content can
736only be detected by attempting to uncompress it. This process is error
737prone and can result is false positives.
738
739Defaults to 0.

744
745TODO
746
747=head1 Methods
748
749=head2 read
750
751Usage is
752
753    $status = $z->read($buffer)
754
755Reads a block of compressed data (the size the the compressed block is
756determined by the C<Buffer> option in the constructor), uncompresses it and
757writes any uncompressed data into C<$buffer>. If the C<Append> parameter is
758set in the constructor, the uncompressed data will be appended to the
759C<$buffer> parameter. Otherwise C<$buffer> will be overwritten.
760
761Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written to C<$buffer>, zero if eof
762or a negative number on error.
763
764=head2 read
765
766Usage is
767
768    $status = $z->read($buffer, $length)
769    $status = $z->read($buffer, $length, $offset)
770
771    $status = read($z, $buffer, $length)
772    $status = read($z, $buffer, $length, $offset)
773
774Attempt to read C<$length> bytes of uncompressed data into C<$buffer>.
775
776The main difference between this form of the C<read> method and the
777previous one, is that this one will attempt to return I<exactly> C<$length>
778bytes. The only circumstances that this function will not is if end-of-file
779or an IO error is encountered.
780
781Returns the number of uncompressed bytes written to C<$buffer>, zero if eof
782or a negative number on error.
783
784=head2 getline
785
786Usage is
787
788    $line = $z->getline()
789    $line = <$z>
790
791Reads a single line.
792
793This method fully supports the use of of the variable C<$/> (or
794C<$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR> or C<$RS> when C<English> is in use) to
795determine what constitutes an end of line. Paragraph mode, record mode and
796file slurp mode are all supported.
797
798=head2 getc
799
800Usage is
801
802    $char = $z->getc()
803
804Read a single character.
805
806=head2 ungetc
807
808Usage is
809
810    $char = $z->ungetc($string)
811
812=head2 getHeaderInfo
813
814Usage is
815
816    $hdr  = $z->getHeaderInfo();
817    @hdrs = $z->getHeaderInfo();
818
819This method returns either a hash reference (in scalar context) or a list
820or hash references (in array context) that contains information about each
821of the header fields in the compressed data stream(s).
822
823=head2 tell
824
825Usage is
826
827    $z->tell()
828    tell $z
829
830Returns the uncompressed file offset.
831
832=head2 eof
833
834Usage is
835
836    $z->eof();
837    eof($z);
838
839Returns true if the end of the compressed input stream has been reached.
840
841=head2 seek
842
843    $z->seek($position, $whence);
844    seek($z, $position, $whence);
845
846Provides a sub-set of the C<seek> functionality, with the restriction
847that it is only legal to seek forward in the input file/buffer.
848It is a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.
849
850The C<$whence> parameter takes one the usual values, namely SEEK_SET,
851SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END.
852
853Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
854
855=head2 binmode
856
857Usage is
858
859    $z->binmode
860    binmode $z ;
861
862This is a noop provided for completeness.
863
864=head2 opened
865
866    $z->opened()
867
868Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer.
869
870=head2 autoflush
871
872    my $prev = $z->autoflush()
873    my $prev = $z->autoflush(EXPR)
874
875If the C<$z> object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
876returns the current autoflush setting for the underlying filehandle. If
877C<EXPR> is present, and is non-zero, it will enable flushing after every
878write/print operation.
879
880If C<$z> is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always
881returns C<undef>.
882
883B<Note> that the special variable C<$|> B<cannot> be used to set or
884retrieve the autoflush setting.
885
886=head2 input_line_number
887
888    $z->input_line_number()
889    $z->input_line_number(EXPR)
890
891Returns the current uncompressed line number. If C<EXPR> is present it has
892the effect of setting the line number. Note that setting the line number
893does not change the current position within the file/buffer being read.
894
895The contents of C<$/> are used to to determine what constitutes a line
896terminator.
897
898=head2 fileno
899
900    $z->fileno()
901    fileno($z)
902
903If the C<$z> object is associated with a file or a filehandle, C<fileno>
904will return the underlying file descriptor. Once the C<close> method is
905called C<fileno> will return C<undef>.
906
907If the C<$z> object is associated with a buffer, this method will return
908C<undef>.
909
910=head2 close
911
912    $z->close() ;
913    close $z ;
914
915Closes the output file/buffer.
916
917For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
918the IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the
919variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
920exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
921these cases, the C<close> method will be called automatically, but
922not until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
923terminating.
924
925Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
926of Perl, you should call C<close> explicitly and not rely on automatic
927closing.
928
929Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
930
931If the C<AutoClose> option has been enabled when the IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
932object was created, and the object is associated with a file, the
933underlying file will also be closed.
934
935=head2 nextStream
936
937Usage is
938
939    my $status = $z->nextStream();
940
941Skips to the next compressed data stream in the input file/buffer. If a new
942compressed data stream is found, the eof marker will be cleared and C<$.>
943will be reset to 0.
944
945Returns 1 if a new stream was found, 0 if none was found, and -1 if an
946error was encountered.
947
948=head2 trailingData
949
950Usage is
951
952    my $data = $z->trailingData();
953
954Returns the data, if any, that is present immediately after the compressed
955data stream once uncompression is complete. It only makes sense to call
956this method once the end of the compressed data stream has been
957encountered.
958
959This option can be used when there is useful information immediately
960following the compressed data stream, and you don't know the length of the
961compressed data stream.
962
963If the input is a buffer, C<trailingData> will return everything from the
964end of the compressed data stream to the end of the buffer.
965
966If the input is a filehandle, C<trailingData> will return the data that is
967left in the filehandle input buffer once the end of the compressed data
968stream has been reached. You can then use the filehandle to read the rest
969of the input file.
970
971Don't bother using C<trailingData> if the input is a filename.
972
973If you know the length of the compressed data stream before you start
974uncompressing, you can avoid having to use C<trailingData> by setting the
975C<InputLength> option in the constructor.
