FileWrite(3)

NAME

       Apache::AxKit::Provider::FileWrite - File provider class with write
       support

SYNOPSIS

       Override the base ContentProvider class and enable it using:

           AxContentProvider Apache::AxKit::Provider::FileWrite

       Using this with the StyleProvider directive is not very useful at the
       moment. This might change depending on processor features.

DESCRIPTION

       Warning: This is experimental. It was included for testing purposes.
       The API might change, or the module might be removed again.

       This provider provides the bare minimum of write access. Use this like
       any other provider.

       This class supports the following additional interfaces:

       * $provider->get_fh(1)
           Get a file handle for writing. The old contents of that file are
           erased, if any. $provider->get_fh() or an explicit
           $provider->get_fh(0) work like before. Directories are not cur-
           rently supported.

       * $provider->remove()
           Remove the file from the filesystem.

       * $provider->set_strref(\$text)
           Store a string in the file, the opposite of $provider->get_str-
           ref().

       This is the minimum set of operations to manage files. If you need
       locking, you have to implement that yourself. Metadata can be queried
       through the AxHandleDirs extension, but cannot yet be set.  are no pro-
       visions for locking or metadata - you have to do that yourself.  These
       primitives are abstract enough to apply to other sources as well, for
       example a XML database. If you implement other providers with write
       support, please stick to this API.
