NAME

       APR::Status - Perl Interface to the APR_STATUS_IS_* macros

Synopsis

         use APR::Status ();
         eval { $obj->mp_method() };
         if ($@ && $ref $@ eq 'APR::Error' && APR::Status::is_EAGAIN($@)) {
             # APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN(s) of apr_errno.h is satisfied
         }

Description

       An interface to apr_errno.h composite error codes.

       As discussed in the "APR::Error" manpage, it is possible to handle APR/Apache/mod_perl
       exceptions in the following way:

         eval { $obj->mp_method() };
         if ($@ && $ref $@ eq 'APR::Error' && $@ == $some_code)
             warn "handled exception: $@";
         }

       However, in cases where $some_code is an APR::Const constant, there may be more than one
       condition satisfying the intent of this exception. For this purpose the APR C library
       provides in apr_errno.h a series of macros, "APR_STATUS_IS_*", which are the recommended
       way to check for such conditions. For example, the "APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN" macro is defined
       as

         #define APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN(s)         ((s) == APR_EAGAIN \
                         || (s) == APR_OS_START_SYSERR + ERROR_NO_DATA \
                         || (s) == APR_OS_START_SYSERR + SOCEWOULDBLOCK \
                         || (s) == APR_OS_START_SYSERR + ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION)

       The purpose of "APR::Status" is to provide functions corresponding to these macros.

Functions

   "is_EACCES"
       Check if the error is matching "EACCES" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_EACCES" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_EACCES($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       An example of using "is_EACCES" is when reading the contents of a file where access may be
       forbidden:

         eval { $obj->slurp_filename(0) };
         if ($@) {
             return Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN
                 if ref $@ eq 'APR::Error' && APR::Status::is_EACCES($@);
             die $@;
          }

       Due to possible variants in conditions matching "EACCES", the use of this function is
       recommended for checking error codes against this value, rather than just using
       "APR::Const::EACCES" directly.

   "is_EAGAIN"
       Check if the error is matching "EAGAIN" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_EAGAIN($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       For example, here is how you may want to handle socket read exceptions and do retries:

         use APR::Status ();
         # ....
         my $tries = 0;
         my $buffer;
         RETRY: my $rlen = eval { $socket->recv($buffer, SIZE) };
         if ($@ && ref($@) && APR::Status::is_EAGAIN($@)) {
             if ($tries++ < 3) {
                 goto RETRY;
             }
             else {
                 # do something else
             }
         }
         else {
             die "eval block has failed: $@";
         }

       Notice that just checking against "APR::Const::EAGAIN" may work on some Unices, but then
       it will certainly break on win32. Thefore make sure to use this macro and not
       "APR::Const::EAGAIN" unless you know what you are doing.

   "is_ENOENT"
       Check if the error is matching "ENOENT" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_ENOENT" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_ENOENT($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       An example of using "is_ENOENT" is when reading the contents of a file which may not
       exist:

         eval { $obj->slurp_filename(0) };
         if ($@) {
             return Apache2::Const::NOT_FOUND
                 if ref $@ eq 'APR::Error' && APR::Status::is_ENOENT($@);
             die $@;
         }

       Due to possible variants in conditions matching "ENOENT", the use of this function is
       recommended for checking error codes against this value, rather than just using
       "APR::Const::ENOENT" directly.

   "is_EOF"
       Check if the error is matching "EOF" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_EOF" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_EOF($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       Due to possible variants in conditions matching "EOF", the use of this function is
       recommended for checking error codes against this value, rather than just using
       "APR::Const::EOF" directly.

   "is_ECONNABORTED"
       Check if the error is matching "ECONNABORTED" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_ECONNABORTED" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_ECONNABORTED($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       Due to possible variants in conditions matching "ECONNABORTED", the use of this function
       is recommended for checking error codes against this value, rather than just using
       "APR::Const::ECONNABORTED" directly.

   "is_ECONNRESET"
       Check if the error is matching "ECONNRESET" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_ECONNRESET" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_ECONNRESET($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       Due to possible variants in conditions matching "ECONNRESET", the use of this function is
       recommended for checking error codes against this value, rather than just using
       "APR::Const::ECONNRESET" directly.

   "is_TIMEUP"
       Check if the error is matching "TIMEUP" and its variants (corresponds to the
       "APR_STATUS_IS_TIMEUP" macro).

         $status = APR::Status::is_TIMEUP($error_code);

       arg1: $error_code (integer or "APR::Error object" )
           The error code or to check, normally $@ blessed into "APR::Error object".

       ret: $status ( boolean )
       since: 2.0.00

       Due to possible variants in conditions matching "TIMEUP", the use of this function is
       recommended for checking error codes against this value, rather than just using
       "APR::Const::TIMEUP" directly.
