Net::SFTP::Buffer(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SFTP::Buffer(3)NAMENet::SFTP::Buffer - Read/write buffer class
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Buffer;
my $buffer = Net::SFTP::Buffer->new;
DESCRIPTIONNet::SFTP::Buffer inherits from Net::SSH::Perl::Buffer to provide
read/write buffer functionality for SSH. SFTP buffers are exactly the
same as SSH buffers, with a couple of additions:
· 64-bit integers
SFTP requires the use of 64-bit integers to represent very large
file sizes. In Net::SFTP::Buffer 64-bit integers are implemented as
Math::Pari objects.
· File attribute bundles
Attribute bundles are not strictly a simple data type--they are, in
fact, made up of smaller pieces, like 32-bit integers, 64-bit
integers, etc.--but for matters of convenience, it is easiest to
provide methods to directly serialize/deserialize attributes from
buffers.
USAGE
Usage of Net::SFTP::Buffer objects is exactly the same as usage of
Net::SSH::Perl::Buffer objects, with additions of the following methods
to support the above data types.
$buffer->get_int64
Extracts a 64-bit integer from $buffer and returns it as a Math::Pari
object.
$buffer->put_int64($int)
Serializes a 64-bit integer $int into the buffer $buffer; $int can be
either a Math::Pari object or a built-in Perl integer, if it is small
enough to fit into a Perl int.
$buffer->get_attributes
Uses Net::SFTP::Attributes to extract a list of file attributes from
$buffer, and returns a Net::SFTP::Attributes object containing those
file attributes.
$buffer->put_attributes($attrs)
Serializes a Net::SFTP::Attributes object $attrs into the buffer
$buffer.
