NAME

Genezzo::RawIO - Genezzo Raw IO

SYNOPSIS

Additional file read and write routines for Genezzo.

DESCRIPTION

sysread and syswrite are wrapped by gen_raw_read and gen_raw_write 
so raw devices can be used.

FUNCTIONS

gen_raw_read FILEHANDLE, SCALAR, LENGTH

Performs read identical to sysread, except uses aligned buffer 
suitable for raw I/O.

gen_raw_write FILEHANDLE, SCALAR, LENGTH

Performs write identical to syswrite, except uses aligned buffer 
suitable for raw I/O.

EXPORT

gen_raw_read, gen_raw_write

LIMITATIONS

Relies on Perl Inline::C module.  Code may gracefully compile to 
empty stubs on non-raw (non-Linux) platforms, but this has not 
been thoroughly tested.
