BackupPC::XS(3)       User Contributed Perl Documentation      BackupPC::XS(3)


NAME
       BackupPC::XS - Perl extension for BackupPC libraries

SYNOPSIS
         use BackupPC::XS;
         use BackupPC::XS qw( :all );

DESCRIPTION
       BackupPC::XS provides various submodules that implement various
       BackupPC library functions.  The following sections describe each
       submodule.

       This documentation is very terse.  BackupPC::XS is not intended to be a
       general-purpose module - it is closely tied to BackupPC.  Look in the
       BackupPC code to see examples of using this module.

   BackupPC::XS::FileZIO
       Compressed file I/O using zlib:

           $fd = BackupPC::XS::FileZIO::open($fileName, $writeFlag, $compressLevel);
           $fd = BackupPC::XS::FileZIO::fdopen($stream, $writeFlag, $compressLevel);
           $nWrite   = $fd->write($dataRef);
           $nRead    = $fd->read($dataRef, $maxRead);
           $textLine = $fd->readLine();
           $fd->rewind();
           $fd->close();
           $fd->writeTeeStderr($boolean);

   BackupPC::XS::PoolRefCnt
       Pool file reference counting:

           $countDB = BackupPC::XS::PoolRefCnt::new(initialEntryCnt);
           $refCount = $countDB->get($digest);
           $countDB->set($digest, $refCount);
           $countDB->delete($digest);
           $countDB->incr($digest, $refIncr);
           ($digest, $refCnt, $idx) = $countDB->iterate($idx);
           $countDB->read($fileName);
           $countDB->write($fileName);
           $countDB->print();

       Pool file delta accumulation:

           BackupPC::XS::PoolRefCnt::DeltaFileInit($hostDir);
           BackupPC::XS::PoolRefCnt::DeltaFileFlush();
           BackupPC::XS::PoolRefCnt::DeltaUpdate($digest, $refIncr);
           BackupPC::XS::PoolRefCnt::DeltaPrint();

   BackupPC::XS::PoolWrite
       Writing and matching files in the pool:

           $poolWrite = BackupPC::XS::PoolWrite::new($compressLevel [, $digest]);
           $poolWrite->write($dataRef);
           ($match, $digest, $poolSize, $error) = $poolWrite->close();
           $poolWrite->addToPool($fileName, $isV3PoolFile);

   BackupPC::XS::Attrib
       Manipulating a set of files and attributes (typically one directory's
       worth):

           $a = BackupPC::XS::Attrib::new($compressLevel);
           $attrHash = $a->get($fileName);
           $a->set($fileName, $attrHash);
           $numDirEntries = $a->count();
           $a->read($dirPath, $attribFileName);
           $a->write($dirPath, $attribFileName);

           $textType = BackupPC::XS::Attrib::fileType2Text(BPC_FTYPE_....);

   BackupPC::XS::AttribCache
       Maintain a cache of directories, with full share/path semantics.

           $ac = BackupPC::XS::AttribCache::new($host, $backupNum, $shareNameUM, $compress);

           $attrHash = $ac->get($fileName, $allocateIfMissing, $dontReadInode);
           $ac->set($fileName, $attrHash, $dontOverwriteInode);
           $ac->delete($fileName);

           $attrHash = $ac->getInode($inode, $allocateIfMissing);
           $ac->setInode($inode, $attrHash);
           $ac->deleteInode($inode);

           $ac->getAll($path, $dontReadInode);

           $ac->flush($all, $path);
           $ac->getFullMangledPath($path);

   BackupPC::XS::DirOps
           $zeroMeansOk = BackupPC::XS::DirOps::path_create($path);
           $errorCnt = BackupPC::XS::DirOps::path_remove($path, $compress);

           $errorCnt = BackupPC::XS::DirOps::refCountAll($path, $compress);

           $lockFd = BackupPC::XS::DirOps::lockRangeFile($lockFile, $offset, $len, $block);
           BackupPC::XS::DirOps::unlockRangeFile($lockFd);

   BackupPC::XS::Lib
           BackupPC::XS::Lib::ConfInit($topDir, $hardLinkMax, $poolV3Enabled, $logLevel)

           $messageArrayRef = BackupPC::XS::Lib::logMsgGet();
           $errorCnt = BackupPC::XS::Lib::logErrorCntGet;
           BackupPC::XS::Lib::logLevelSet($level);

EXPORTS
       If you specify :all (see SYNOPSIS), then the BPC_FTYPE_ values are
       exported.
