8.129. IO::Pipe
Provides an interface for creating
pipes between processes.
new |
$pipe = new IO::Pipe([readfh, writefh])
Constructor. Creates an IO::Pipe object, which is a reference to a
newly created symbol. The two optional arguments should be objects
blessed into IO::Handle or one of its subclasses. These objects are
used for the system call to pipe. With no
arguments, the method handles is called on the new
IO::Pipe object.
handles |
$pipe->handles( )
Called during construction by IO::Pipe::new on the
newly created IO::Pipe object. Returns an array of two objects
blessed into IO::Pipe::End, or a subclass.
reader |
$pipe->reader([args])
Object is reblessed into a subclass of IO::Handle and becomes a
handle at the reading end of the pipe. If there are any
args, then fork is
called, and the arguments are passed to exec.
writer |
$pipe->writer([args])
The object is reblessed into a subclass of IO::Handle and becomes a
handle at the writing end of the pipe. If there are any
args, then fork is
called, and the arguments are passed to exec.
