NAME

       MongoDB::GridFS::File - A Mongo GridFS file (DEPRECATED)

VERSION

       version v1.8.1

SYNOPSIS

           use MongoDB::GridFS::File;

           $outfile = IO::File->new("outfile", "w");
           $file = $grid->find_one;
           $file->print($outfile);

USAGE

   Error handling
       Unless otherwise explicitly documented, all methods throw exceptions if an error occurs.
       The error types are documented in MongoDB::Error.

       To catch and handle errors, the Try::Tiny and Safe::Isa modules are recommended:

           use Try::Tiny;
           use Safe::Isa; # provides $_isa

           $bytes = try {
               $file->slurp;
           }
           catch {
               if ( $_->$_isa("MongoDB::TimeoutError" ) {
                   ...
               }
               else {
                   ...
               }
           };

       To retry failures automatically, consider using Try::Tiny::Retry.

ATTRIBUTES

   info
       A hash reference of metadata saved with this file.

METHODS

   print
           $written = $file->print($fh);
           $written = $file->print($fh, $length);
           $written = $file->print($fh, $length, $offset)

       Writes the number of bytes specified from the offset specified to the given file handle.
       If no $length or $offset are given, the entire file is written to $fh.  Returns the number
       of bytes written.

   slurp
           $all   = $file->slurp
           $bytes = $file->slurp($length);
           $bytes = $file->slurp($length, $offset);

       Return the number of bytes specified from the offset specified.  If no $length or $offset
       are given, the entire file is returned.
