DESCRIPTION
The TakTuk::Pilot Perl module ease the use of TakTuk from within a Perl program (see taktuk(1) for a
detailed description of TakTuk). It transparently manages I/O exchanges as well as TakTuk data
demultiplexing and decoding.
CONSTRUCTOR
new()
Creates a new TakTuk object on which the following method can be called.
METHODS
add_callback(%)
Adds a callback function associated to some TakTuk output stream to the calling TakTuk object. This
callback function will be called by TakTuk::Pilot for each batch of output data incoming from the
related stream. The hash passed as argument to this function call may contain the following fields:
callback => reference to the callback fonction (mandatory)
stream => stream related to this callback, might be
'default' (mandatory)
fields => reference to an array of fields names relevant
to the user
argument => scalar that should be passed to each callback
function call
The callback function should accept a hash as argument. This hash will be populated with the
following fields :
taktuk => reference to the taktuk object calling this
callback
argument => scalar given at callback addition or undef
stream => stream on which output data came
fields => reference to a hash containing a
fieldname/value pair for each field requested
upon callback addition
send_command($)
Sends to the calling TakTuk object the command passed as argument. Note that if the TakTuk object is
not running, this command will be buffered and executed upon run.
send_termination()
Sends to the calling TakTuk object a termination command. As for "send_command", if the TakTuk object
is not running, this command will be issued upon run.
run(%)
Runs TakTuk, executing pending commands and waiting for TakTuk output. Note that this function is
blocking: it waits for TakTuk outputs, possibly calls related callback functions and returns when
TakTuk terminates. Thus, all TakTuk commands should be given either before calling "run" or within a
callback function.
This commands takes a hash as argument that may contain the following fields:
command => TakTuk command line to be executed
timeout => optional timeout on the wait for TakTuk output
Upon occurrence of the timeout (if one has been given), "run" will returns an "ETMOUT" error code.
Note the in this case TakTuk execution will not be terminated and should be resumed at some point by
calling "continue".
continue()
Resumes a TakTuk execution interrupted by timeout occurrence.
add_descriptor(%)
Because the call to "run" is blocking, waiting for TakTuk output, it might be interesting to let the
"TakTuk::Pilot" module monitor I/O occurrence related to other file descriptors. This is the intent
of "add_descriptor". This function takes a hash as parameter in which the following fields might be
defined:
type => 'read', 'write' or 'exception', this is the
type of I/O possibilities that should be
monitored on the descriptor, as in select
system call (mandatory).
filehandle => file descriptor to monitor (mandatory).
callback => reference to the callback function that
should be called when I/O is possible on the
file descriptor.
argument => optional scalar value that will be passed
with each call to the callback function
The callback function should also accept a hash as an argument in which the following fields will be
defined:
taktuk => reference to the TakTuk object from which
the function was called.
type => type of I/O occurring (as in add_callback)
filehandle => the related file descriptor. Notice that the
user is in charge of performing the I/O
operation itself (sysread or syswrite).
Notice also that, because of the use of a
select in TakTuk::Pilot, the use of buffered
I/O on this descriptor is strongly discouraged
argument => the argument that was given to add_descriptor
remove_descriptor(%)
Function that should be called to remove from the TakTuk object a descriptor previously added with
"add_descriptor". It takes a hash as argument in which the following fields may be defined:
type => type of I/O (see add_descriptor)
filehandle => file descriptor to remove
quiet() / verbose()
Change verbosity of "TakTuk::Pilot" on STDOUT (default is quiet). Should not be called when TakTuk is
running.
create_session()
Call "setsid" in the TakTuk process created by "run". The main purpose of this call is to prevent
TakTuk from receiving signals sent to the process group to which the pilot belong. Should not be
called when TakTuk is running.
pid()
Returns the pid of the process spawned to run TakTuk. Should only be called when TakTuk is running.
error_msg($)
Static function. Returns a character string that corresponds to the error code given as argument. The
error code should be one of the values returned by other "TakTuk::Pilot" functions ("add_callback",
"send_command", "send_termination", ...).
ERRORS
When an error occur in one of these functions, it returns a non nul numeric error code. This code can
take one of the following values:
TakTuk::Pilot::EARGCM
Field 'command' is missing in a call to "run".
TakTuk::Pilot::EARGCB
Field 'callback' is missing in a call to "add_callback" or "add_descriptor".
TakTuk::Pilot::EARGFH
Field 'filehandle' is missing in a call to "add_descriptor" or "remove_descriptor".
TakTuk::Pilot::EARGTP
Field 'type' is missing in a call to "add_descriptor" or "remove_descriptor".
TakTuk::Pilot::ETMOUT
A timeout occurred in a call to "run".
TakTuk::Pilot::ETKTRN
TakTuk is alredy running but "run", "verbose" or "quiet" has been called.
TakTuk::Pilot::ETKTNR
TakTuk is not running but "continue" has been called.
TakTuk::Pilot::ESPIPE
A call to "pipe" failed in "TakTuk::Pilot" (the error should be in $!).
TakTuk::Pilot::ESFORK
A call to "fork" failed in "TakTuk::Pilot" (the error should be in $!).
TakTuk::Pilot::ESCLOS
A call to "close" failed in "TakTuk::Pilot" (the error should be in $!).
TakTuk::Pilot::ESELEC
A call to "select" failed in "TakTuk::Pilot" (the error should be in $!).
TakTuk::Pilot::ETPBUG
Internal bug detected in "TakTuk::Pilot".
