.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing bzip2
compressed data to files or buffer.
.PP
For reading bzip2 files/buffers, see the companion module
IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2.
.SH "Functional Interface"
.IX Header "Functional Interface"
A top-level function, \f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR, is provided to carry out
"one-shot" compression between buffers and/or files. For finer
control over the compression process, see the "OO Interface"
section.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    use IO::Compress::Bzip2 qw(bzip2 $Bzip2Error) ;
\&
\&    bzip2 $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [,OPTS]
\&        or die "bzip2 failed: $Bzip2Error\en";
.Ve
.PP
The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.
.ie n .SS "bzip2 $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, OPTS]"
.el .SS "bzip2 \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fP => \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fP [, OPTS]"
.IX Subsection "bzip2 $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, OPTS]"
\&\f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR expects at least two parameters,
\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR and \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR
and zero or more optional parameters (see "Optional Parameters")
.PP
\fIThe \fR\f(CI$input_filename_or_reference\fR\fI parameter\fR
.IX Subsection "The $input_filename_or_reference parameter"
.PP
The parameter, \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR, is used to define the
source of the uncompressed data.
.PP
It can take one of the following forms:
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for reading and the
input data will be read from it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the input
data will be read from it.  The string '\-' can be used as an alias for
standard input.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the input data
will be read from \f(CW$$input_filename_or_reference\fR.
.IP "An array reference" 5
.IX Item "An array reference"
If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference, each element in
the array must be a filename.
.Sp
The input data will be read from each file in turn.
.Sp
The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only
contains valid filenames before any data is compressed.
.IP "An Input FileGlob string" 5
.IX Item "An Input FileGlob string"
If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
characters "<" and ">" \f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
\&\fIinput fileglob string\fR. The input is the list of files that match the
fileglob.
.Sp
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
.PP
If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
.PP
\fIThe \fR\f(CI$output_filename_or_reference\fR\fI parameter\fR
.IX Subsection "The $output_filename_or_reference parameter"
.PP
The parameter \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is used to control the
destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
these forms.
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
assumed to be a filename.  This file will be opened for writing and the
compressed data will be written to it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the
compressed data will be written to it.  The string '\-' can be used as
an alias for standard output.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the
compressed data will be stored in \f(CW$$output_filename_or_reference\fR.
.IP "An Array Reference" 5
.IX Item "An Array Reference"
If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference,
the compressed data will be pushed onto the array.
.IP "An Output FileGlob" 5
.IX Item "An Output FileGlob"
If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
characters "<" and ">" \f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
\&\fIoutput fileglob string\fR. The output is the list of files that match the
fileglob.
.Sp
When \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an fileglob string,
\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR must also be a fileglob string. Anything
else is an error.
.Sp
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
.PP
If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
.SS Notes
.IX Subsection "Notes"
When \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR maps to multiple files/buffers and
\&\f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a single
file/buffer the input files/buffers will be stored
in \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR as a concatenated series of compressed data streams.
.SS "Optional Parameters"
.IX Subsection "Optional Parameters"
The optional parameters for the one-shot function \f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR
are (for the most part) identical to those used with the OO interface defined in the
"Constructor Options" section. The exceptions are listed below
.ie n .IP """AutoClose => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAutoClose => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "AutoClose => 0|1"
This option applies to any input or output data streams to
\&\f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR that are filehandles.
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all
input and/or output filehandles being closed once \f(CW\*(C`bzip2\*(C'\fR has
completed.
.Sp
This parameter defaults to 0.
.ie n .IP """BinModeIn => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWBinModeIn => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "BinModeIn => 0|1"
This option is now a no-op. All files will be read in binmode.
.ie n .IP """Append => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAppend => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "Append => 0|1"
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data
stream.
.RS 5
.IP \(bu 5
A Buffer
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of
the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any
compressed data is written to it.
.IP \(bu 5
A Filename
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise
the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed
data is written to it.
.IP \(bu 5
A Filehandle
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of
the file via a call to \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR before any compressed data is
written to it.  Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
.RE
.RS 5
.Sp
When \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is specified, and set to true, it will \fIappend\fR all compressed
data to the output data stream.
.Sp
So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof
before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for
appending. If the output is a buffer, all compressed data will be
appended to the existing buffer.
.Sp
Conversely when \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is not specified, or it is present and is set to
false, it will operate as follows.
.Sp
When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file
before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filehandle
its position will not be changed. If the output is a buffer, it will be
wiped before any compressed data is output.
.Sp
Defaults to 0.
.RE
.SS Examples
.IX Subsection "Examples"
Here are a few example that show the capabilities of the module.
.PP
\fIStreaming\fR
.IX Subsection "Streaming"
.PP
This very simple command line example demonstrates the streaming capabilities of the module.
The code reads data from STDIN, compresses it, and writes the compressed data to STDOUT.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $ echo hello world | perl \-MIO::Compress::Bzip2=bzip2 \-e \*(Aqbzip2 \e*STDIN => \e*STDOUT\*(Aq >output.bz2
.Ve
.PP
The special filename "\-" can be used as a standin for both \f(CW\*(C`\e*STDIN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\e*STDOUT\*(C'\fR,
so the above can be rewritten as
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $ echo hello world | perl \-MIO::Compress::Bzip2=bzip2 \-e \*(Aqbzip2 "\-" => "\-"\*(Aq >output.bz2
.Ve
.PP

.PP
To read the contents of the file \f(CW\*(C`file1.txt\*(C'\fR and write the compressed
data to the file \f(CW\*(C`file1.txt.bz2\*(C'\fR.
.PP

.PP
\fIReading from a Filehandle and writing to an in-memory buffer\fR
.IX Subsection "Reading from a Filehandle and writing to an in-memory buffer"

\&        or die "bzip2 failed: $Bzip2Error\en";
.Ve
.PP
\fICompressing multiple files\fR
.IX Subsection "Compressing multiple files"
.PP
To compress all files in the directory "/my/home" that match "*.txt"
and store the compressed data in the same directory
.PP
.Vb 3
\&    use strict ;

\&        or die "bzip2 failed: $Bzip2Error\en";
.Ve
.PP
and if you want to compress each file one at a time, this will do the trick
.PP
.Vb 3

.SS Constructor
.IX Subsection "Constructor"
The format of the constructor for \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Bzip2\*(C'\fR is shown below
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    my $z = IO::Compress::Bzip2\->new( $output [,OPTS] )
\&        or die "IO::Compress::Bzip2 failed: $Bzip2Error\en";
.Ve
.PP
It returns an \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Bzip2\*(C'\fR object on success and undef on failure.
The variable \f(CW$Bzip2Error\fR will contain an error message on failure.
.PP
If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, \f(CW$z\fR, returned from
IO::Compress::Bzip2 can be used exactly like an IO::File filehandle.
This means that all normal output file operations can be carried out
with \f(CW$z\fR.
For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer you can use either of
these forms
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    $z\->print("hello world\en");
\&    print $z "hello world\en";
.Ve
.PP
The mandatory parameter \f(CW$output\fR is used to control the destination
of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is assumed to be a
filename. This file will be opened for writing and the compressed data
will be written to it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is a filehandle, the compressed data will be
written to it.
The string '\-' can be used as an alias for standard output.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$output\fR is a scalar reference, the compressed data will be stored
in \f(CW$$output\fR.
.PP
If the \f(CW$output\fR parameter is any other type, \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Bzip2\*(C'\fR::new will
return undef.

variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
these cases, the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method will be called automatically, but
not until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
terminating.
.PP
Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
of Perl, you should call \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR explicitly and not rely on automatic
closing.
.PP
Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
.PP
If the \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::Bzip2
object was created, and the object is associated with a file, the
underlying file will also be closed.

Usage is
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $z\->newStream( [OPTS] )
.Ve
.PP
Closes the current compressed data stream and starts a new one.
.PP
OPTS consists of any of the options that are available when creating
the \f(CW$z\fR object.
