.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing compressed
data to files or buffer as defined in \s-1RFC\s0 1951.
.PP
Note that \s-1RFC\s0 1951 data is not a good choice of compression format
to use in isolation, especially if you want to auto-detect it.
.PP
For reading \s-1RFC\s0 1951 files/buffers, see the companion module 
IO::Uncompress::RawInflate.
.SH "Functional Interface"
.IX Header "Functional Interface"
A top-level function, \f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR, is provided to carry out
\&\*(L"one\-shot\*(R" compression between buffers and/or files. For finer
control over the compression process, see the \*(L"\s-1OO\s0 Interface\*(R"
section.

.IX Subsection "rawdeflate $input => $output [, OPTS]"
\&\f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR expects at least two parameters, \f(CW$input\fR and \f(CW$output\fR.
.PP
\fIThe \f(CI$input\fI parameter\fR
.IX Subsection "The $input parameter"
.PP
The parameter, \f(CW$input\fR, is used to define the source of
the uncompressed data. 
.PP
It can take one of the following forms:
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$input\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
filename. This file will be opened for reading and the input data
will be read from it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$input\fR parameter is a filehandle, the input data will be
read from it.
The string '\-' can be used as an alias for standard input.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$input\fR is a scalar reference, the input data will be read
from \f(CW$$input\fR.
.IP "An array reference" 5
.IX Item "An array reference"
If \f(CW$input\fR is an array reference, each element in the array must be a
filename.
.Sp
The input data will be read from each file in turn. 
.Sp
The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only
contains valid filenames before any data is compressed.
.IP "An Input FileGlob string" 5
.IX Item "An Input FileGlob string"
If \f(CW$input\fR is a string that is delimited by the characters \*(L"<\*(R" and \*(L">\*(R"
\&\f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an \fIinput fileglob string\fR. The
input is the list of files that match the fileglob.
.Sp
If the fileglob does not match any files ...
.Sp
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
.PP
If the \f(CW$input\fR parameter is any other type, \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
.PP
\fIThe \f(CI$output\fI parameter\fR
.IX Subsection "The $output parameter"
.PP
The parameter \f(CW$output\fR is used to control the destination of the
compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
filename.  This file will be opened for writing and the compressed
data will be written to it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data
will be written to it.
The string '\-' can be used as an alias for standard output.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be
stored in \f(CW$$output\fR.
.IP "An Array Reference" 5
.IX Item "An Array Reference"
If \f(CW$output\fR is an array reference, the compressed data will be
pushed onto the array.
.IP "An Output FileGlob" 5
.IX Item "An Output FileGlob"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a string that is delimited by the characters \*(L"<\*(R" and \*(L">\*(R"
\&\f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an \fIoutput fileglob string\fR. The
output is the list of files that match the fileglob.
.Sp
When \f(CW$output\fR is an fileglob string, \f(CW$input\fR must also be a fileglob
string. Anything else is an error.
.PP
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is any other type, \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
.Sh "Notes"
.IX Subsection "Notes"
When \f(CW$input\fR maps to multiple files/buffers and \f(CW$output\fR is a single
file/buffer the input files/buffers will be stored
in \f(CW$output\fR as a concatenated series of compressed data streams.
.Sh "Optional Parameters"
.IX Subsection "Optional Parameters"
Unless specified below, the optional parameters for \f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`OPTS\*(C'\fR, are the same as those used with the \s-1OO\s0 interface defined in the
\&\*(L"Constructor Options\*(R" section below.
.ie n .IP """AutoClose => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAutoClose => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "AutoClose => 0|1"
This option applies to any input or output data streams to 
\&\f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR that are filehandles.
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all
input and/or output filehandles being closed once \f(CW\*(C`rawdeflate\*(C'\fR has
completed.
.Sp
This parameter defaults to 0.
.ie n .IP """BinModeIn => 0|1""" 5

.PP
It returns an \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::RawDeflate\*(C'\fR object on success and undef on failure. 
The variable \f(CW$RawDeflateError\fR will contain an error message on failure.
.PP
If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, \f(CW$z\fR, returned from 
IO::Compress::RawDeflate can be used exactly like an IO::File filehandle. 
This means that all normal output file operations can be carried out 
with \f(CW$z\fR. 
For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer you can use either of 
these forms
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $z->print("hello world\en");
\&    print $z "hello world\en";
.Ve
.PP
The mandatory parameter \f(CW$output\fR is used to control the destination
of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
filename. This file will be opened for writing and the compressed data
will be written to it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be
written to it.
The string '\-' can be used as an alias for standard output.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored
in \f(CW$$output\fR.
.PP
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is any other type, \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::RawDeflate\*(C'\fR::new will
return undef.

\&\f(CW\*(C`OPTS\*(C'\fR is any combination of the following options:
.ie n .IP """AutoClose => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAutoClose => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "AutoClose => 0|1"
This option is only valid when the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a filehandle. If
specified, and the value is true, it will result in the \f(CW$output\fR being
closed once either the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method is called or the \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::RawDeflate\*(C'\fR
object is destroyed.
.Sp
This parameter defaults to 0.
.ie n .IP """Append => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAppend => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "Append => 0|1"
Opens \f(CW$output\fR in append mode. 
.Sp
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of \f(CW$output\fR.
.RS 5
.IP "* A Buffer" 5
.IX Item "A Buffer"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a buffer and \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, all compressed data
will be append to the end if \f(CW$output\fR. Otherwise \f(CW$output\fR will be
cleared before any data is written to it.
.IP "* A Filename" 5
.IX Item "A Filename"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a filename and \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the file will be
opened in append mode. Otherwise the contents of the file, if any, will be
truncated before any compressed data is written to it.
.IP "* A Filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A Filehandle"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a filehandle, the file pointer will be positioned to the
end of the file via a call to \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR before any compressed data is written
to it.  Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
.RE
.RS 5

This parameter defaults to 0.
.RE
.ie n .IP """Merge => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWMerge => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "Merge => 0|1"
This option is used to compress input data and append it to an existing
compressed data stream in \f(CW$output\fR. The end result is a single compressed
data stream stored in \f(CW$output\fR. 
.Sp
It is a fatal error to attempt to use this option when \f(CW$output\fR is not an
\&\s-1RFC\s0 1951 data stream.
.Sp
There are a number of other limitations with the \f(CW\*(C`Merge\*(C'\fR option:
.RS 5
.IP "1" 5

.Sh "flush"
.IX Subsection "flush"
Usage is
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $z->flush;
\&    $z->flush($flush_type);
.Ve
.PP
Flushes any pending compressed data to the output file/buffer.
.PP
This method takes an optional parameter, \f(CW$flush_type\fR, that controls
how the flushing will be carried out. By default the \f(CW$flush_type\fR
used is \f(CW\*(C`Z_FINISH\*(C'\fR. Other valid values for \f(CW$flush_type\fR are
\&\f(CW\*(C`Z_NO_FLUSH\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Z_SYNC_FLUSH\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Z_FULL_FLUSH\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Z_BLOCK\*(C'\fR. It is
strongly recommended that you only set the \f(CW\*(C`flush_type\*(C'\fR parameter if
you fully understand the implications of what it does \- overuse of \f(CW\*(C`flush\*(C'\fR
can seriously degrade the level of compression achieved. See the \f(CW\*(C`zlib\*(C'\fR
documentation for details.
.PP
Returns true on success.
.Sh "tell"
.IX Subsection "tell"
Usage is
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $z->tell()
\&    tell $z
.Ve
.PP
Returns the uncompressed file offset.
.Sh "eof"
.IX Subsection "eof"
Usage is
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $z->eof();
\&    eof($z);
.Ve
.PP
Returns true if the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method has been called.
.Sh "seek"
.IX Subsection "seek"
.Vb 2
\&    $z->seek($position, $whence);
\&    seek($z, $position, $whence);
.Ve
.PP
Provides a sub-set of the \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR functionality, with the restriction
that it is only legal to seek forward in the output file/buffer.
It is a fatal error to attempt to seek backward.
.PP
Empty parts of the file/buffer will have \s-1NULL\s0 (0x00) bytes written to them.
.PP
The \f(CW$whence\fR parameter takes one the usual values, namely \s-1SEEK_SET\s0,
\&\s-1SEEK_CUR\s0 or \s-1SEEK_END\s0.
.PP
Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
.Sh "binmode"
.IX Subsection "binmode"
Usage is
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $z->binmode
\&    binmode $z ;
.Ve
.PP
This is a noop provided for completeness.
.Sh "opened"
.IX Subsection "opened"
.Vb 1
\&    $z->opened()
.Ve
.PP
Returns true if the object currently refers to a opened file/buffer. 
.Sh "autoflush"
.IX Subsection "autoflush"
.Vb 2
\&    my $prev = $z->autoflush()
\&    my $prev = $z->autoflush(EXPR)
.Ve
.PP
If the \f(CW$z\fR object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
returns the current autoflush setting for the underlying filehandle. If
\&\f(CW\*(C`EXPR\*(C'\fR is present, and is non\-zero, it will enable flushing after every
write/print operation.
.PP
If \f(CW$z\fR is associated with a buffer, this method has no effect and always
returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\&\fBNote\fR that the special variable \f(CW$|\fR \fBcannot\fR be used to set or
retrieve the autoflush setting.
.Sh "input_line_number"
.IX Subsection "input_line_number"
.Vb 2
\&    $z->input_line_number()
\&    $z->input_line_number(EXPR)
.Ve
.PP
This method always returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR when compressing. 
.Sh "fileno"
.IX Subsection "fileno"
.Vb 2
\&    $z->fileno()
\&    fileno($z)
.Ve
.PP
If the \f(CW$z\fR object is associated with a file or a filehandle, this method
will return the underlying file descriptor.
.PP
If the \f(CW$z\fR object is is associated with a buffer, this method will
return undef.
.Sh "close"
.IX Subsection "close"
.Vb 2
\&    $z->close() ;
\&    close $z ;
.Ve
.PP
Flushes any pending compressed data and then closes the output file/buffer. 
.PP
For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
the IO::Compress::RawDeflate object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the
variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
these cases, the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method will be called automatically, but
not until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
terminating.
.PP
Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
of Perl, you should call \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR explicitly and not rely on automatic
closing.
.PP
Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
.PP
If the \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::RawDeflate
object was created, and the object is associated with a file, the
underlying file will also be closed.
.Sh "newStream([\s-1OPTS\s0])"
.IX Subsection "newStream([OPTS])"
Usage is
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $z->newStream( [OPTS] )
.Ve
.PP
Closes the current compressed data stream and starts a new one.
.PP
\&\s-1OPTS\s0 consists of any of the the options that are available when creating
the \f(CW$z\fR object.
.PP
See the \*(L"Constructor Options\*(R" section for more details.
