NAME
Sys::Async::Virt::Stream - Client side of a data transfer channel
VERSION
v0.0.12
SYNOPSIS
use Future::AsyncAwait;
my $dom = await $virt->domain_lookup_by_name( 'domain-1' );
my ($mime, $stream) = await $dom->screenshot( 0 ); # 0 = screen number
try {
while ( my $data = await $stream->receive ) {
if ($data->{data}) {
# process the received data
}
elsif ($data->{hole}) {
# process a hole in the input data
}
else {
# $data->{data} eq '' --> end-of-stream
last;
}
}
}
catch ($e) {
await $stream->abort;
}
await $stream->finish;
DESCRIPTION
A stream models a uni-directional data transfer channel. They are used to upload and download the content of storage volumes, during migration of guests among others.
Instances have IO::Async::Notifier mixed in because they need access to awaitable futures. $self-
loop->new_future> provides that access.
EVENTS
CONSTRUCTOR
new
The constructor takes the following arguments:
id
proc
client
direction
max_items
DESTRUCTOR
DESTROY
$stream = undef;
Aborts the stream, if it hasn't already been terminated.
ATTRIBUTES
direction
Can have one of two values; either send
or receive
.
METHODS
abort
await $stream->abort;
# -> (* no data *)
Terminates stream data transfer indicating an error condition on the client.
finish
await $stream->finish;
# -> (* no data *)
Terminates stream data transfer indicating success.
receive
await $stream->receive;
# -> { data => $data }
# or:
# -> { hole => { length => $length, flags => $flags } }
Applicable to receive
direction streams. When called on send
direction streams, throws an exception.
send
await $stream->send( $data );
# -> (* no data *)
Applicable to send
direction streams. When called on receive
direction streams, throws an exception.
send_hole
await $stream->send_hole( $length, $flags = 0 );
# -> (* no data *)
Applicable to send
direction streams. When called on receive
direction streams, throws an exception.
INTERNAL METHODS
