=head1 NAME Term::ReadLine - Perl interface to various C packages. If no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions. =head1 SYNOPSIS use Term::ReadLine; my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('Simple Perl calc'); my $prompt = "Enter your arithmetic expression: "; my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT; while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) { my $res = eval($_); warn $@ if $@; print $OUT $res, "\n" unless $@; $term->addhistory($_) if /\S/; } =head1 DESCRIPTION This package is just a front end to some other packages. It's a stub to set up a common interface to the various ReadLine implementations found on CPAN (under the C namespace). =head1 Minimal set of supported functions All the supported functions should be called as methods, i.e., either as $term = Term::ReadLine->new('name'); or as $term->addhistory('row'); where $term is a return value of Term::ReadLine-Enew(). =over 12 =item C returns the actual package that executes the commands. Among possible values are C, C, C. =item C returns the handle for subsequent calls to following functions. Argument is the name of the application. Optionally can be followed by two arguments for C and C filehandles. These arguments should be globs. =item C gets an input line, I with actual C support. Trailing newline is removed. Returns C on C. =item C adds the line to the history of input, from where it can be used if the actual C is present. =item C, C return the filehandles for input and output or C if C input and output cannot be used for Perl. =item C If argument is specified, it is an advice on minimal size of line to be included into history. C means do not include anything into history. Returns the old value. =item C returns an array with two strings that give most appropriate names for files for input and output using conventions C<"E$in">, C<"Eout">. The strings returned may not be useful for 3-argument open(). =item Attribs returns a reference to a hash which describes internal configuration of the package. Names of keys in this hash conform to standard conventions with the leading C stripped. =item C Returns a reference to a hash with keys being features present in current implementation. Several optional features are used in the minimal interface: C should be present if the first argument to C is recognized, and C should be present if C method is not dummy. C should be present if lines are put into history automatically (maybe subject to C), and C if C method is not dummy. If C method reports a feature C as present, the method C is not dummy. =back =head1 Additional supported functions Actually C can use some other package, that will support a richer set of commands. All these commands are callable via method interface and have names which conform to standard conventions with the leading C stripped. The stub package included with the perl distribution allows some additional methods: =over 12 =item C makes Tk event loop run when waiting for user input (i.e., during C method). =item C Registers call-backs to wait for user input (i.e., during C method). This supersedes tkRunning. The first call-back registered is the call back for waiting. It is expected that the callback will call the current event loop until there is something waiting to get on the input filehandle. The parameter passed in is the return value of the second call back. The second call-back registered is the call back for registration. The input filehandle (often STDIN, but not necessarily) will be passed in. For example, with AnyEvent: $term->event_loop(sub { my $data = shift; $data->[1] = AE::cv(); $data->[1]->recv(); }, sub { my $fh = shift; my $data = []; $data->[0] = AE::io($fh, 0, sub { $data->[1]->send() }); $data; }); The second call-back is optional if the call back is registered prior to the call to $term-Ereadline. Deregistration is done in this case by calling event_loop with C as its parameter: $term->event_loop(undef); This will cause the data array ref to be removed, allowing normal garbage collection to clean it up. With AnyEvent, that will cause $data->[0] to be cleaned up, and AnyEvent will automatically cancel the watcher at that time. If another loop requires more than that to clean up a file watcher, that will be up to the caller to handle. =item C makes the command line stand out by using termcap data. The argument to C should be 0, 1, or a string of a form C<"aa,bb,cc,dd">. Four components of this string should be names of I, first two will be issued to make the prompt standout, last two to make the input line standout. =item C takes two arguments which are input filehandle and output filehandle. Switches to use these filehandles. =back One can check whether the currently loaded ReadLine package supports these methods by checking for corresponding C. =head1 EXPORTS None =head1 ENVIRONMENT The environment variable C governs which ReadLine clone is loaded. If the value is false, a dummy interface is used. If the value is true, it should be tail of the name of the package to use, such as C or C. As a special case, if the value of this variable is space-separated, the tail might be used to disable the ornaments by setting the tail to be C or C. The head should be as described above, say If the variable is not set, or if the head of space-separated list is empty, the best available package is loaded. export "PERL_RL=Perl o=0" # Use Perl ReadLine sans ornaments export "PERL_RL= o=0" # Use best available ReadLine sans ornaments (Note that processing of C for ornaments is in the discretion of the particular used C package). =cut use strict; package Term::ReadLine::Stub; our @ISA = qw'Term::ReadLine::Tk Term::ReadLine::TermCap'; $DB::emacs = $DB::emacs; # To pacify -w our @rl_term_set; *rl_term_set = \@Term::ReadLine::TermCap::rl_term_set; sub PERL_UNICODE_STDIN () { 0x0001 } sub ReadLine {'Term::ReadLine::Stub'} sub readline { my $self = shift; my ($in,$out,$str) = @$self; my $prompt = shift; print $out $rl_term_set[0], $prompt, $rl_term_set[1], $rl_term_set[2]; $self->register_Tk if not $Term::ReadLine::registered and $Term::ReadLine::toloop; #$str = scalar <$in>; $str = $self->get_line; utf8::upgrade($str) if (${^UNICODE} & PERL_UNICODE_STDIN || defined ${^ENCODING}) && utf8::valid($str); print $out $rl_term_set[3]; # bug in 5.000: chomping empty string creates length -1: chomp $str if defined $str; $str; } sub addhistory {} # used for testing purpose sub devtty { return '/dev/tty' } sub findConsole { my $console; my $consoleOUT; my $devtty = devtty(); if ($^O ne 'MSWin32' and -e $devtty) { $console = $devtty; } elsif ($^O eq 'MSWin32' or $^O eq 'msys' or -e "con") { $console = 'CONIN$'; $consoleOUT = 'CONOUT$'; } elsif ($^O eq 'VMS') { $console = "sys\$command"; } elsif ($^O eq 'os2' && !$DB::emacs) { $console = "/dev/con"; } else { $console = undef; } $consoleOUT = $console unless defined $consoleOUT; $console = "&STDIN" unless defined $console; if ($console eq $devtty && !open(my $fh, "<", $console)) { $console = "&STDIN"; undef($consoleOUT); } if (!defined $consoleOUT) { $consoleOUT = defined fileno(STDERR) && $^O ne 'MSWin32' ?
