See below for a longer example. LoadFile $_ for @ARGV; for (my $i = 0; my $uu = GetFileListItem $i; $i++) { if ($uu->state & FILE_OK) { $uu->decode; print $uu->filename, "\n"; } } =head1 DESCRIPTION Read the file doc/library.pdf from the distribution for in-depth information about the C-library used in this interface, and the rest of this document and especially the non-trivial decoder program at the end. =head1 EXPORTED CONSTANTS =head2 Action code constants ACT_IDLE we don't do anything ACT_SCANNING scanning an input file ACT_DECODING decoding into a temp file ACT_COPYING copying temp to target ACT_ENCODING encoding a file =head2 Message severity levels MSG_MESSAGE just a message, nothing important MSG_NOTE something that should be noticed MSG_WARNING important msg, processing continues MSG_ERROR processing has been terminated MSG_FATAL decoder cannot process further requests MSG_PANIC recovery impossible, app must terminate =head2 Options OPT_VERSION version number MAJOR.MINORplPATCH (ro) OPT_FAST assumes only one part per file OPT_DUMBNESS switch off the program's intelligence OPT_BRACKPOL give numbers in [] higher precendence OPT_VERBOSE generate informative messages OPT_DESPERATE try to decode incomplete files OPT_IGNREPLY ignore RE:plies (off by default) OPT_OVERWRITE whether it's OK to overwrite ex. files OPT_SAVEPATH prefix to save-files on disk OPT_IGNMODE ignore the original file mode OPT_DEBUG print messages with FILE/LINE info OPT_ERRNO get last error code for RET_IOERR (ro) OPT_PROGRESS retrieve progress information OPT_USETEXT handle text messages OPT_PREAMB handle Mime preambles/epilogues OPT_TINYB64 detect short B64 outside of Mime OPT_ENCEXT extension for single-part encoded files OPT_REMOVE remove input files after decoding (dangerous) OPT_MOREMIME strict MIME adherence OPT_DOTDOT ".."-unescaping has not yet been done on input files =head2 Result/Error codes RET_OK everything went fine RET_IOERR I/O Error - examine errno RET_NOMEM not enough memory RET_ILLVAL illegal value for operation RET_NODATA decoder didn't find any data RET_NOEND encoded data wasn't ended properly RET_UNSUP unsupported function (encoding) RET_EXISTS file exists (decoding) RET_CONT continue -- special from ScanPart RET_CANCEL operation canceled =head2 File States This code is zero, i.e. "false": UUFILE_READ Read in, but not further processed The following state codes are or'ed together: FILE_MISPART Missing Part(s) detected FILE_NOBEGIN No 'begin' found FILE_NOEND No 'end' found FILE_NODATA File does not contain valid uudata FILE_OK All Parts found, ready to decode FILE_ERROR Error while decoding FILE_DECODED Successfully decoded FILE_TMPFILE Temporary decoded file exists =head2 Encoding types UU_ENCODED UUencoded data B64_ENCODED Mime-Base64 data XX_ENCODED XXencoded data BH_ENCODED Binhex encoded PT_ENCODED Plain-Text encoded (MIME) QP_ENCODED Quoted-Printable (MIME) YENC_ENCODED yEnc encoded (non-MIME) =head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS =head2 Initializing and cleanup Initialize is automatically called when the module is loaded and allocates quite a small amount of memory for todays machines ;) CleanUp releases that again. On my machine, a fairly complete decode with DBI backend needs about 10MB RSS to decode 20000 files. =over 4 =item Initialize Not normally necessary, (re-)initializes the library. =item CleanUp Not normally necessary, could be called at the end to release memory before starting a new decoding round. =back =head2 Setting and querying options =over 4 =item $option = GetOption OPT_xxx =item SetOption OPT_xxx, opt-value =back See the C constants above to see which options exist. =head2 Setting various callbacks =over 4 =item SetMsgCallback [callback-function] =item SetBusyCallback [callback-function] =item SetFileCallback [callback-function] =item SetFNameFilter [callback-function] =back =head2 Call the currently selected FNameFilter =over 4 =item $file = FNameFilter $file =back =head2 Loading sourcefiles, optionally fuzzy merge and start decoding =over 4 =item ($retval, $count) = LoadFile $fname, [$id, [$delflag, [$partno]]] Load the given file and scan it for encoded contents. Optionally tag it with the given id, and if C<$delflag> is true, delete the file after it is no longer necessary. If you are certain of the part number, you can specify it as the last argument. A better (usually faster) way of doing this is using the C functionality. =item $retval = Smerge $pass If you are desperate, try to call C with increasing C<$pass> values, beginning at C<0>, to try to merge parts that usually would not have been merged. Most probably this will result in garbled files, so never do this by default. =item $item = GetFileListItem $item_number Return the C<$item> structure for the C<$item_number>'th found file, or C of no file with that number exists. The first file has number C<0>, and the series has no holes, so you can iterate over all files by starting with zero and incrementing until you hit C. =back =head2 Decoding files =over 4 =item $retval = $item->rename($newname) Change the ondisk filename where the decoded file will be saved. =item $retval = $item->decode_temp Decode the file into a temporary location, use C<< $item->infile >> to retrieve the temporary filename. =item $retval = $item->remove_temp Remove the temporarily decoded file again. =item $retval = $item->decode([$target_path]) Decode the file to it's destination, or the given target path. =item $retval = $item->info(callback-function) =back =head2 Querying (and setting) item attributes =over 4 =item $state = $item->state =item $mode = $item->mode([newmode]) =item $uudet = $item->uudet =item $size = $item->size =item $filename = $item->filename([newfilename}) =item $subfname = $item->subfname =item $mimeid = $item->mimeid =item $mimetype = $item->mimetype =item $binfile = $item->binfile =back =head2 Information about source parts =over 4 =item $parts = $item->parts Return information about all parts (source files) used to decode the file as a list of hashrefs with the following structure: { partno => , # the following member sonly exist when they contain useful information sfname => , filename => , subfname => , subject => , origin => , mimetype => , mimeid => , } Usually you are interested mostly the C and possibly the C and C members. =back =head2 Functions below not documented and not very well tested QuickDecode EncodeMulti EncodePartial EncodeToStream EncodeToFile E_PrepSingle E_PrepPartial =head2 EXTENSION FUNCTIONS Functions found in this module but not documented in the uulib documentation: =over 4 =item $msg = straction ACT_xxx Return a human readable string representing the given action code. =item $msg = strerror RET_xxx Return a human readable string representing the given error code. =item $str = strencoding xxx_ENCODED Return the name of the encoding type as a string. =item $str = strmsglevel MSG_xxx Returns the message level as a string. =item SetFileNameCallback $cb Sets (or queries) the FileNameCallback, which is called whenever the decoding library can't find a filename and wants to extract a filename from the subject line of a posting. The callback will be called with two arguments, the subject line and the current candidate for the filename. The latter argument can be C, which means that no filename could be found (and likely no one exists, so it is safe to also return C in this case). If it doesn't return anything (not even C!), then nothing happens, so this is a no-op callback: sub cb { return (); } If it returns C, then this indicates that no filename could be found. In all other cases, the return value is taken to be the filename. This is a slightly more useful callback: sub cb { return unless $_[1]; # skip "Re:"-plies et al. my ($subject, $filename) = @_; # if we find some *.rar, take it return $1 if $subject =~ /(\w+\.rar)/; # otherwise just pass what we have return (); } =back =head1 LARGE EXAMPLE DECODER This is the file C from the distribution, put here instead of more thorough documentation. # decode all the files in the directory uusrc/ and copy # the resulting files to uudst/ use Convert::UUlib ':all'; sub namefilter { my($path)=@_; $path=~s/^.*[\/\\]//; $path; } sub busycb { my ($action, $curfile, $partno, $numparts, $percent, $fsize) = @_; $_[0]=straction($action); print "busy_callback(", (join ",",@_), ")\n"; 0; } SetOption OPT_IGNMODE, 1; SetOption OPT_VERBOSE, 1; # show the three ways you can set callback functions.
