NAME

Role::TinyCommons::BinarySearch::LinesInHandle - Provide has_item() that uses binary search

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of Role::TinyCommons::BinarySearch::LinesInHandle (from Perl distribution Role-TinyCommons-BinarySearch-LinesInHandle), released on 2021-05-07.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

REQUIRED METHODS

fh

Must return the filehandle.

OPTIONALLY DEPENDED METHODS

fh_min_offset

Must return the minimum position (in bytes) to search the filehandle from.

If this method is not supported by object, 0 will be assumed.

fh_max_offset

Must return the maximum position (in bytes) to search the filehandle to. Can also return undef, in which case the filehandle will be stat()-ed to find out the size of the file.

If this method is not supported by object, the filehandle will also be stat()-ed.

cmp_items

Usage:

 my $res = $obj->cmp_items($item1, $item2); # 0|-1|1

Must return 0, -1, or 1 like Perl's cmp or <=> operator. Note that Role::TinyCommons::Collection::CompareItems also uses this method.

PROVIDED METHODS

has_item

Usage:

 my $has_item = $obj->has_item($item); # bool

Return true if $item is found in the filehandle (searched using binary search), false otherwise.

Note that the Role::TinyCommons::Collection::FindItem role also uses this method.
