NAME

6       POE::Driver::SysRW - buffered, non-blocking I/O using sysread and
7       syswrite
8

SYNOPSIS

10       "SYNOPSIS" in POE::Driver illustrates how the interface works.  This
11       module is merely one implementation.
12

DESCRIPTION

14       This driver implements POE::Driver using sysread and syswrite.
15

PUBLIC METHODS

17       POE::Driver::SysRW introduces some additional features not covered in
18       the base interface.
19
20   new [BlockSize => OCTETS]
21       new() creates a new buffered I/O driver that uses sysread() to read
22       data from a handle and syswrite() to flush data to that handle.  The
23       constructor accepts one optional named parameter, "BlockSize", which
24       indicates the maximum number of OCTETS that will be read at one time.
25
26       "BlockSize" is 64 kilobytes (65536 octets) by default.  Higher values
27       may improve performance in streaming applications, but the trade-off is
28       a lower event granularity and increased resident memory usage.
29
30       Lower "BlockSize" values reduce memory consumption somewhat with
31       corresponding throughput penalties.
32
33         my $driver = POE::Driver::SysRW->new;
34
35         my $driver = POE::Driver::SysRW->new( BlockSize => $block_size );
36
37       Drivers are commonly instantiated within POE::Wheel constructor calls:
38
39         $_[HEAP]{wheel} = POE::Wheel::ReadWrite->new(
40           InputHandle => \*STDIN,
41           OutputHandle => \*STDOUT,
42           Driver => POE::Driver::SysRW->new(),
43           Filter => POE::Filter::Line->new(),
44         );
45
46       Applications almost always use POE::Driver::SysRW, so POE::Wheel
47       objects almost always will create their own if no Driver is specified.
48
49   All Other Methods
50       POE::Driver::SysRW documents the abstract interface documented in
51       POE::Driver.  Please see POE::Driver for more details about the
52       following methods:
53
54       flush
55       get
56       get_out_messages_buffered
57       put
