NAME

XTM::IO - Topic Map management, abstract class for input/output

SYNOPSIS

# this class will never be directly used

This is the abstract class defining how an IO package should behave.

The constructor should expect a hash as parameter containing at least the following fields:

auto_complete (default: 1) If auto_complete is set, the loading mechanism is directed to automatically generate all topics which are referenced in a map but which are not explicitely defined. It is up to the implementation how these topics are created and which characteristics they have.

The methods sync_in, sync_out and last_mod implement the methods from the abstract class XTM::IO

last_mod: returns the UNIX time when the resource has been modified last. undef is returned if the result cannot be determined.
sync_in: actually loads an XTM resource and returns a XTM::Memory object.
sync_out: is supposed to save the XTM::Memory content onto the resource.

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

To install XTM, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install XTM
