NAME
PITA::Guest::Storage::Simple - A (relatively) simple Guest Storage object
DESCRIPTION
The PITA::Guest::Storage class provides an API for cataloguing and retrieving Guest images, with all the data stored on the filesystem using the native XML file formats.
PITA::Guest::Storage::Simple implements a very simple version of the PITA::Guest::Storage API.
Guest image location and searching is done the long way, with no indexing.
METHODS
new
my $store = PITA::Guest::Storage::Simple->new(
storage_dir => '/var/PITA-Guest-Storable-Simple',
);The new method creates a new simple storage object. It takes a single named param
Returns a PITA::Guest::Storage::Simple object, or throws an exception on error.
storage_dir
The storage_dir accessor returns the location of the directory that serves as the root of the data store.
create
my $store = PITA::Guest::Storage::Simple->new(
storage_dir => '/var/PITA-Guest-Storable-Simple',
);The create constructor creates a new PITA::Guest::Storage::Simple repository.
storage_lock
The storage_lock method takes a lock on the storage_lock file, creating it if needed (in the create method case).
It does not wait to take the lock, failing immediately if the lock cannot be taken.
Returns true if the lock is taken, false if the lock cannot be taken, or throws an exception on error.
