package Tie::Handle;
=head1 NAME
Tie::Handle - base class definitions for tied handles
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package NewHandle;
require Tie::Handle;
@ISA = (Tie::Handle);
sub READ { ... } # Provide a needed method
sub TIEHANDLE { ... } # Overrides inherited method
package main;
tie *FH, 'NewHandle';
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides some skeletal methods for handle-tying classes. See
L<perltie> for a list of the functions required in tying a handle to a package.
The basic B<Tie::Handle> package provides a C<new> method, as well as methods
C<TIESCALAR>, C<FETCH> and C<STORE>. The C<new> method is provided as a means
of grandfathering, for classes that forget to provide their own C<TIESCALAR>
method.
For developers wishing to write their own tied-handle classes, the methods
are summarized below. The L<perltie> section not only documents these, but
has sample code as well:
=over
=item TIEHANDLE classname, LIST
The method invoked by the command C<tie *glob, classname>. Associates a new
glob instance with the specified class. C<LIST> would represent additional
arguments (along the lines of L<AnyDBM_File> and compatriots) needed to
complete the association.
=item WRITE this, scalar, length, offset
Write I<length> bytes of data from I<scalar> starting at I<offset>.
=item PRINT this, LIST
Print the values in I<LIST>
=item PRINTF this, format, LIST
Print the values in I<LIST> using I<format>
=item READ this, scalar, length, offset
Read I<length> bytes of data into I<scalar> starting at I<offset>.
=item READLINE this
Read a single line
=item GETC this
Get a single character
=item DESTROY this
Free the storage associated with the tied handle referenced by I<this>.
This is rarely needed, as Perl manages its memory quite well. But the
option exists, should a class wish to perform specific actions upon the
destruction of an instance.
=back
=head1 MORE INFORMATION
The L<perltie> section contains an example of tying handles.
