- package FileCache;
-
- our $VERSION = '1.021';
-
- =head1 NAME
-
- FileCache - keep more files open than the system permits
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use FileCache;
- # or
- use FileCache maxopen => 16;
-
- cacheout $path;
- print $path @data;
-
- cacheout $mode, $path;
- print $path @data;
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- The C<cacheout> function will make sure that there's a filehandle open
- for reading or writing available as the pathname you give it. It
- automatically closes and re-opens files if you exceed your system's
- maximum number of file descriptors, or the suggested maximum.
-
- =over
-
- =item cacheout EXPR
-
- The 1-argument form of cacheout will open a file for writing (C<< '>' >>)
- on it's first use, and appending (C<<< '>>' >>>) thereafter.
-
- =item cacheout MODE, EXPR
-
- The 2-argument form of cacheout will use the supplied mode for the initial
- and subsequent openings. Most valid modes for 3-argument C<open> are supported
- namely; C<< '>' >>, C<< '+>' >>, C<< '<' >>, C<< '<+' >>, C<<< '>>' >>>,
- C< '|-' > and C< '-|' >
-
- =head1 CAVEATS
-
- If you use cacheout with C<'|-'> or C<'-|'> you should catch SIGPIPE
- and explicitly close the filehandle., when it is closed from the
- other end some cleanup needs to be done.
-
- While it is permissible to C<close> a FileCache managed file,
- do not do so if you are calling C<FileCache::cacheout> from a package other
- than which it was imported, or with another module which overrides C<close>.
- If you must, use C<FileCache::cacheout_close>.
-
- =head1 BUGS
-
- F<sys/param.h> lies with its C<NOFILE> define on some systems,
- so you may have to set maxopen (I<$FileCache::cacheout_maxopen>) yourself.
