NAME

6       Test::Trap::Builder::SystemSafe - "Safe" capture strategies using
7       File::Temp
8

VERSION

10       Version 0.3.5
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This module provides capture strategies systemsafe, based on
14       File::Temp, for the trap's output layers.  These strategies insists on
15       reopening the output file handles with the same descriptors, and
16       therefore, unlike Test::Trap::Builder::TempFile and
17       Test::Trap::Builder::PerlIO, is able to trap output from forked-off
18       processes, including system().
19
20       The import accepts a name (as a string; default systemsafe) and options
21       (as a hashref; by default empty), and registers a capture strategy with
22       that name and a variant implementation based on the options.
23
24       Note that you may specify different strategies for each output layer on
25       the trap.
26
27       See also Test::Trap (:stdout and :stderr) and Test::Trap::Builder
28       (output_layer).

OPTIONS

31       The following options are recognized:
32
33   preserve_io_layers
34       A boolean, indicating whether to apply to the handles writing to and
35       reading from the tempfile, the same perlio layers as are found on the
36       to-be-trapped output handle.
37
38   io_layers
39       A colon-separated string representing perlio layers to be applied to
40       the handles writing to and reading from the tempfile.
41
42       If the preserve_io_layers option is set, these perlio layers will be
43       applied on top of the original (preserved) perlio layers.
44

CAVEATS

46       Using File::Temp, we need privileges to create tempfiles.
47
48       We need disk space for the output of every trap (it should clean up
49       after the trap is sprung).
50
51       Disk access may be slow -- certainly compared to the in-memory files of
52       PerlIO.
53
54       If the file handle we try to trap using this strategy is on an in-
55       memory file, it would not be available to other processes in any case.
56       Rather than change the semantics of the trapped code or silently fail
57       to trap output from forked-off processes, we just raise an exception in
58       this case.
59
60       If there is another file handle with the same descriptor (f ex after an
61       "open OTHER, '>&=', THIS"), we can't get that file descriptor.  Rather
62       than silently fail, we again raise an exception.
63
64       If the options specify (explicitly or via preserve on handles with)
65       perlio custom layers, they may (or may not) fail to apply to the
66       tempfile read and write handles.
67
68       Threads?  No idea.  It might even work correctly.
