FUNCTIONS

chain(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Chain several dux functions together.

Currently works for itemfunc only.

See also the Data::Unixish::Apply function, which is related.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • functions* => array

    The functions to chain.

    Each element must either be function name (like date) or a 2-element array containing the function name and its arguments (like [bool, {style: dot}]).

  • in => any

    Input stream (e.g. array or filehandle).

  • out => any

    Output stream (e.g. array or filehandle).

Return value:

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
