NAME

Data::Record::Serialize::Role::Sink::Stream - output encoded data to a stream.

VERSION

version 1.07

SYNOPSIS

with 'Data::Record::Serialize::Role::Sink::Stream';

DESCRIPTION

A Moo::Role which provides the underlying support for stream sinks. Data::Record::Serialize::Role::Sink::Stream outputs encoded data to a file handle.

OBJECT ATTRIBUTES

output

One of the following:

  • The name of an output file (which will be created). If it is the string -, output will be written to the standard output stream. Must not be the empty string.

  • a reference to a scalar to which the records will be written.

  • a GLOB (i.e. \*STDOUT), or a reference to an object which derives from IO::Handle (e.g. IO::File, FileHandle, etc.). These will not be closed upon destruction of the serializer or when the "close" method is called.

fh

The file handle to which the data will be output

_passed_fh

Will be true if "output" was not a file name.

CLASS METHODS

new

This role adds two named arguments to the constructor, "output" and "fh", which mirror the added object attributes.

METHODS

close

$obj->close( ?$in_global_destruction );

Close the object; useful in destructors. Only files created by the serializer will be closed. If a filehandle, GLOB, or similar object is passed via the constructor's "output" parameter "close" method is called.
