=head1 NAME

FCM::Util

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use FCM::Util;
    $u = FCM::Util->new();
    $u->class_load('Foo');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Utilities used by the FCM system.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item $class->new(\%attrib)

Returns a new instance. The %attrib hash can be used configure the behaviour of
the instance:

=over 4

=item conf_paths

The search paths to the configuration files. The default is the value in
@FCM::Util::CONF_PATHS.

=item cfg_basename_of

A HASH to map the named configuration with the base names of their paths.
(default=%CFG_BASENAME_OF)

=item external_value_of

A HASH to map the named external tools with their default values.
(default=%EXTERNAL_VALUE_OF)

=item event

A CODE to handle event.

=item ns_sep

The name space separator. (default=/)

=item util_class_of

A HASH to map (keys) utility names to (values) their implementation classes. See
%FCM::System::UTIL_CLASS_OF.

=item util_of

A HASH to map (keys) utility names to (values) their implementation instances.

=back

=item $u->cfg_init($basename,\&action)

Search site/user configuration given by $basename. Invoke the callback
&action($config_reader) for each configuration file found.

=item $u->class_load($name,$test_method)

If $name can call $test_method, returns $name. (If $test_method is not defined,
the default is "new".) Otherwise, calls require($name). Returns $name.

=item $u->config_reader($locator,\%reader_attrib)

Returns an iterator for getting the configuration entries from $locator (which
should be an instance of L<FCM::Context::Locator|FCM::Context::Locator>.

The iterator returns the next useful entry of the configuration file as an
object of L<FCM::Context::ConfigEntry|FCM::Context::ConfigEntry>. It returns
under if there is no more useful entry to return.

The %reader_attrib may be used to override the default attributes. The HASH
should contain a {parser} and a {processor}. The {parser} is a CODE reference to
parse a declaration in the configuration file into an entry. The {processor} is
a CODE reference to process the entry. If the {processor} returns true, the
entry is considered a special entry (e.g. a variable declaration or an
C<include> declaration) that is processed, and will not be returned by the
iterator.

The %reader_attrib can be defined using the following pre-defined sets:

=over 4

=item %FCM::Util::ConfigReader::FCM1_ATTRIB

Using this will generate a reader for configuration files written in the FCM 1
format.

=item %FCM::Util::ConfigReader::FCM2_ATTRIB

Using this will generate a reader for configuration files written in the FCM 2
format. (default)

=back

In addition, $reader_attrib{event_level} can be used to adjust the event
verbosity level.

The parser and the processor are called with a %state, which contains the
current state of the reader, and has the following elements:

=over 4

=item cont

This is set to true if there is a continue marker at the end of the current
line. The next line should be parsed as part of the current context.

=item ctx

The context of the current entry, which should be an instance of
L<FCM::Context::ConfigEntry|FCM::Context::ConfigEntry>.

=item line

The content of the current line.

=item stack

An ARRAY reference that represents an include stack. The top of the stack
(the final element) represents the most current file being read. An include file
will be put on top of the stack, and removed when EOF is reached. When the stack
is empty, the iterator is exhausted.

Each element of the stack is an 4-element ARRAY reference. Element 1 is the
L<FCM::Context::Locator|FCM::Context::Locator> object that represents the
current file. Element 2 is the line number of the current file. Element 3 is the
file handle for reading the current file. Element 4 is a CODE reference with an
interface $f->($path), for turning $path from a relative location under the
container of the current file into an absolute location.

=item var

A HASH reference containing the variables (from the environment and local to the
configuration file) that can be used for substitution.

=back

between %hash_1 and %hash_2 - if the value is positive, the key exists in
%hash_2 but not %hash_1, if the value is negative, the key exists in %hash_1 but
not %hash_2, and if the value is zero, the key exists in both, but the values
are different.

    while (defined(my $item = $iter_ref->())) {
        print("[$item]");
    }
    # should print: [a/bee/cee][a/bee][a][]

    $iter_ref = $u->ns_iter('a/bee/cee');
    while (defined(my $item = $iter_ref->())) {
        print("[$item]");
    }
    # should print: [][a][a/bee][a/bee/cee]

=item $u->ns_sep()

L<FCM::Util::Reporter|FCM::Util::Reporter>. See
L<FCM::Util::Reporter|FCM::Util::Reporter> for detail.

=item $u->shell($command,\%action_of)

Invokes the $command, which can be scalar or a reference to an ARRAY. If a
scalar is specified, it will be separated into an array using the shellwords()
function in L<Text::ParseWords|Text::ParseWords>. If it is a reference to an
ARRAY, the ARRAY will be passed to open3() as is.

The %action_of should contain the actions for i: standard input, e: standard
error output and o: standard output. The default for each of these is an
anonymous subroutinue that does nothing.

Each time the pipe to the child standard input is available for writing, it will
call $action_of{i}->(). If it returns a defined value, the value will be written
to the pipe. If it returns undef, the pipe will be closed.

Each time the pipe from the child standard (error) output is available for
reading, it will read some values to a buffer, and invoke the callback
$action_of{o}->($buffer) (or $action_of{e}->($buffer)). The return value of the
callback will be ignored.

On normal completion, it returns the status code of the command and raises an
FCM::Context::Event->SHELL event:

Any abnormal failure will cause an instance of FCM::Util::Exception to be
thrown. (The return of a non-zero status code by the child is considered a
normal completion.)

=item $u->shell_simple($command)

Wraps $u->shell(), and returns a HASH reference containing {e} (the
standard error), {o} (the standard output) and {rc} (the return code).

=item $u->shell_which($name)

Returns the full path of an executable command $name if it can be found in the
system PATH.

=item $u->task_runner($action_code_ref,$n_workers)

Returns a runner of tasks. It can be configured to work in serial (default) or
parallel. The runner has the following methods:

    $n_done = $runner->main($get_code_ref,$put_code_ref);
    $runner->destroy();

For each $task (L<FCM::Context::Task|FCM::Context::Task>) returned by the
$get_code_ref->() iterator, invokes $action_ref->($task->get_ctx()). When
$action_ref returns, send the $task back to the caller by calling
$put_code_ref->($task). When it is done, the runner returns the number of tasks
it has done.

The $runner->destroy() method should be called to destroy the $runner when it is
not longer used.

=item $u->timer(\@start)

Returns a CODE reference, which can be called to return the elapsed time. The
@start argument is optional. If specified, it should be in a format as returned
by Time::HiRes::gettimeofday(). If not specified, the current gettimeofday() is
used.

=item $u->uri_match($string)

Returns true if $string is a URI. In array context, returns the scheme and the
opague part of the URI if $string is a URI, or an empty list otherwise.

=item $u->util_of_event($value)

Returns and/or sets the L<FCM::Util::Event|FCM::Util::Event> object that is used
to handle the $u->report() method.

=item $u->util_of_report($value)

Returns and/or sets the L<FCM::Util::Reporter|FCM::Util::Reporter> object that
is used to handle the $u->report() method.
