DESCRIPTION

Useful functions for managing pipe and socket handles stored in a hashref.

API DOCUMENTATION

destroy_pipes ( hashref, list )

Destroy pipes in the hash for given key names.

Mutex::Util::destroy_pipes($hashref, qw(_w_sock _r_sock));

destroy_socks ( hashref, list )

Destroy sockets in the hash for given key names.

Mutex::Util::destroy_socks($hashref, qw(_w_sock _r_sock));

pipe_pair ( hashref, r_name, w_name [, idx ] )

Creates a pair of connected pipes and stores the handles into the hash with given key names representing the two read-write handles. Optionally, pipes may be constructed into an array stored inside the hash.

Mutex::Util::pipe_pair($hashref, qw(_r_sock _w_sock));

$hashref->{_r_sock};
$hashref->{_w_sock};

Mutex::Util::pipe_pair($hashref, qw(_r_sock _w_sock), $_) for 0..3;

$hashref->{_r_sock}[0];
$hashref->{_w_sock}[0];

sock_pair ( hashref, r_name, w_name [, idx ] )

Creates an unnamed pair of sockets and stores the handles into the hash with given key names representing the two read-write handles. Optionally, sockets may be constructed into an array stored inside the hash.

Mutex::Util::sock_pair($hashref, qw(_r_sock _w_sock));

$hashref->{_r_sock};
$hashref->{_w_sock};

Mutex::Util::sock_pair($hashref, qw(_r_sock _w_sock), $_) for 0..3;

$hashref->{_r_sock}[0];
$hashref->{_w_sock}[0];
