=head1 NAME
Bio::Root::IO - module providing several methods often needed when dealing with file IO
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# utilize stream I/O in your module
$self->{'io'} = Bio::Root::IO->new(-file => "myfile");
$self->{'io'}->_print("some stuff");
$line = $self->{'io'}->_readline();
$self->{'io'}->_pushback($line);
$self->{'io'}->close();
# obtain platform-compatible filenames
$path = Bio::Root::IO->catfile($dir, $subdir, $filename);
# obtain a temporary file (created in $TEMPDIR)
($handle) = $io->tempfile();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides methods that will usually be needed for any sort
of file- or stream-related input/output, e.g., keeping track of a file
handle, transient printing and reading from the file handle, a close
method, automatically closing the handle on garbage collection, etc.
To use this for your own code you will either want to inherit from
this module, or instantiate an object for every file or stream you are
dealing with. In the first case this module will most likely not be
the first class off which your class inherits; therefore you need to
call _initialize_io() with the named parameters in order to set file
handle, open file, etc automatically.
Most methods start with an underscore, indicating they are private. In
OO speak, they are not private but protected, that is, use them in
your module code, but a client code of your module will usually not
want to call them (except those not starting with an underscore).
In addition this module contains a couple of convenience methods for
cross-platform safe tempfile creation and similar tasks. There are
some CPAN modules related that may not be available on all
platforms. At present, File::Spec and File::Temp are attempted. This
module defines $PATHSEP, $TEMPDIR, and $ROOTDIR, which will always be set,
and $OPENFLAGS, which will be set if either of File::Spec or File::Temp fails.
The -noclose boolean (accessed via the noclose method) prevents a
filehandle from being closed when the IO object is cleaned up. This
is special behavior when a object like a parser might share a
filehandle with an object like an indexer where it is not proper to
close the filehandle as it will continue to be reused until the end of the
stream is reached. In general you won't want to play with this flag.

Args : named parameters
=cut
sub new {

=head2 _initialize_io
Title : initialize_io
Usage : $self->_initialize_io(@params);

-file name of file to open
-input name of file, or GLOB, or IO::Handle object
-fh file handle (mutually exclusive with -file)
-flush boolean flag to autoflush after each write
-noclose boolean flag, when set to true will not close a
filehandle (must explictly call close($io->_fh)
Returns : TRUE
Args : named parameters
=cut
sub _initialize_io {
my($self, @args) = @_;
$self->_register_for_cleanup(\&_io_cleanup);
my ($input, $noclose, $file, $fh, $flush) = $self->_rearrange([qw(INPUT

}
=head2 _fh
Title : _fh
Usage : $obj->_fh($newval)
Function: Get/set the file handle for the stream encapsulated.
Example :
Returns : value of _filehandle
Args : newvalue (optional)
=cut
sub _fh {
my ($obj, $value) = @_;
if ( defined $value) {
$obj->{'_filehandle'} = $value;
}
return $obj->{'_filehandle'};
}
=head2 mode
Title : mode
Usage : $obj->mode()
Function:
Example :
Returns : mode of filehandle:
'r' for readable
'w' for writeable
'?' if mode could not be determined
Args : -force (optional), see notes.
Notes : once mode() has been called, the filehandle's mode is cached
for further calls to mode(). to override this behavior so
that mode() re-checks the filehandle's mode, call with arg
-force
=cut

=head2 file
Title : file
Usage : $obj->file($newval)
Function: Get/set the filename, if one has been designated.
Example :
Returns : value of file
Args : newvalue (optional)
=cut
sub file {
my ($obj, $value) = @_;
if ( defined $value) {
$obj->{'_file'} = $value;
}

=head2 _print
Title : _print
Usage : $obj->_print(@lines)
Function:
Example :
Returns : writes output
=cut
sub _print {
my $self = shift;
my $fh = $self->_fh() || \*STDOUT;
print $fh @_;
}
=head2 _readline
Title : _readline
Usage : $obj->_readline(%args)
Function: Reads a line of input.
Note that this method implicitely uses the value of $/ that is
in effect when called.
Note also that the current implementation does not handle pushed
back input correctly unless the pushed back input ends with the
value of $/.
Example :
Args : Accepts a hash of arguments, currently only -raw is recognized
passing (-raw => 1) prevents \r\n sequences from being changed
to \n. The default value of -raw is undef, allowing \r\n to be
converted to \n.
Returns :
=cut
sub _readline {
my $self = shift;
my %param =@_;
my $fh = $self->_fh || \*ARGV;
my $line;
# if the buffer been filled by _pushback then return the buffer
# contents, rather than read from the filehandle
$line = shift @{$self->{'_readbuffer'}} || <$fh>;
#don't strip line endings if -raw is specified
$line =~ s/\r\n/\n/g if( (!$param{-raw}) && (defined $line) );
return $line;
}
=head2 _pushback
Title : _pushback
Usage : $obj->_pushback($newvalue)
Function: puts a line previously read with _readline back into a buffer.
buffer can hold as many lines as system memory permits.
Example :
Returns :
Args : newvalue
=cut
sub _pushback {
my ($obj, $value) = @_;
$obj->{'_readbuffer'} ||= [];
push @{$obj->{'_readbuffer'}}, $value;
}
=head2 close
Title : close
Usage : $io->close()
Function: Closes the file handle associated with this IO instance.
Will not close the FH if -noclose is specified
Returns : none
Args : none
=cut
sub close {
my ($self) = @_;
return if $self->noclose; # don't close if we explictly asked not to
if( defined $self->{'_filehandle'} ) {
$self->flush;
return if( \*STDOUT == $self->_fh ||
\*STDERR == $self->_fh ||
\*STDIN == $self->_fh
); # don't close STDOUT fh
if( ! ref($self->{'_filehandle'}) ||
! $self->{'_filehandle'}->isa('IO::String') ) {
close($self->{'_filehandle'});
}
}
$self->{'_filehandle'} = undef;
delete $self->{'_readbuffer'};
}
=head2 flush
Title : flush
Usage : $io->flush()
Function: Flushes the filehandle
Returns : none
Args : none
=cut
sub flush {
my ($self) = shift;
if( !defined $self->{'_filehandle'} ) {
$self->throw("Attempting to call flush but no filehandle active");
}
if( ref($self->{'_filehandle'}) =~ /GLOB/ ) {
my $oldh = select($self->{'_filehandle'});
$| = 1;
select($oldh);
} else {
$self->{'_filehandle'}->flush();
}
}
=head2 noclose
Title : noclose
Usage : $obj->noclose($newval)
Function: Get/Set the NOCLOSE flag - setting this to true will
prevent a filehandle from being closed
when an object is cleaned up or explicitly closed
This is a bit of hack
Returns : value of noclose (a scalar)
Args : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)
=cut
sub noclose{
my $self = shift;
return $self->{'_noclose'} = shift if @_;
return $self->{'_noclose'};
}
sub _io_cleanup {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->close();
my $v = $self->verbose;
# we are planning to cleanup temp files no matter what
if( exists($self->{'_rootio_tempfiles'}) &&

=head2 exists_exe
Title : exists_exe
Usage : $exists = $obj->exists_exe('clustalw');
$exists = Bio::Root::IO->exists_exe('clustalw')
$exists = Bio::Root::IO::exists_exe('clustalw')
Function: Determines whether the given executable exists either as file
or within the path environment. The latter requires File::Spec
to be installed.
On Win32-based system, .exe is automatically appended to the program
name unless the program name already ends in .exe.
Example :
Returns : 1 if the given program is callable as an executable, and 0 otherwise
Args : the name of the executable
=cut
sub exists_exe {
my ($self, $exe) = @_;
$exe = $self if(!(ref($self) || $exe));

return $exe if(-e $exe); # full path and exists
# Ewan's comment. I don't think we need this. People should not be
# asking for a program with a pathseparator starting it
# $exe =~ s/^$PATHSEP//;
# Not a full path, or does not exist. Let's see whether it's in the path.
if($FILESPECLOADED) {
foreach my $dir (File::Spec->path()) {
my $f = Bio::Root::IO->catfile($dir, $exe);
return $f if(-e $f && -x $f );
}
}
return 0;
}
=head2 tempfile
Title : tempfile
Usage : my ($handle,$tempfile) = $io->tempfile();
Function: Returns a temporary filename and a handle opened for writing and
and reading.
Caveats : If you do not have File::Temp on your system you should avoid
specifying TEMPLATE and SUFFIX. (We don't want to recode
everything, okay?)
Returns : a 2-element array, consisting of temporary handle and temporary
file name
Args : named parameters compatible with File::Temp: DIR (defaults to
$Bio::Root::IO::TEMPDIR), TEMPLATE, SUFFIX.

=head2 tempdir
Title : tempdir
Usage : my ($tempdir) = $io->tempdir(CLEANUP=>1);
Function: Creates and returns the name of a new temporary directory.
Note that you should not use this function for obtaining "the"
temp directory. Use $Bio::Root::IO::TEMPDIR for that. Calling this
method will in fact create a new directory.
Returns : The name of a new temporary directory.
Args : args - ( key CLEANUP ) indicates whether or not to cleanup
dir on object destruction, other keys as specified by File::Temp

=head2 catfile
Title : catfile
Usage : $path = Bio::Root::IO->catfile(@dirs,$filename);
Function: Constructs a full pathname in a cross-platform safe way.
If File::Spec exists on your system, this routine will merely
delegate to it. Otherwise it tries to make a good guess.
You should use this method whenever you construct a path name
from directory and filename. Otherwise you risk cross-platform
compatibility of your code.
You can call this method both as a class and an instance method.
Returns : a string
Args : components of the pathname (directories and filename, NOT an
extension)

=head2 rmtree
Title : rmtree
Usage : Bio::Root::IO->rmtree($dirname );
Function: Remove a full directory tree
If File::Path exists on your system, this routine will merely
delegate to it. Otherwise it runs a local version of that code.
You should use this method to remove directories which contain
files.
You can call this method both as a class and an instance method.
Returns : number of files successfully deleted
Args : roots - rootdir to delete or reference to list of dirs
verbose - a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause
C<rmtree> to print a message each time it
examines a file, giving the name of the file, and
indicating whether it's using C<rmdir> or
C<unlink> to remove it, or that it's skipping it.
(defaults to FALSE)
safe - a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree>
to skip any files to which you do not have delete
access (if running under VMS) or write access (if
running under another OS). This will change in the
future when a criterion for 'delete permission'
under OSs other than VMS is settled. (defaults to
FALSE)
