=head1 NAME

IO::CaptureOutput - capture STDOUT and STDERR from Perl code, subprocesses or XS

=head1 VERSION

version 1.1104

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use IO::CaptureOutput qw(capture qxx qxy);

    # STDOUT and STDERR separately
    capture { noisy_sub(@args) } \$stdout, \$stderr;

    # STDOUT and STDERR together
    capture { noisy_sub(@args) } \$combined, \$combined;

    # STDOUT and STDERR from external command
    ($stdout, $stderr, $success) = qxx( @cmd );

    # STDOUT and STDERR together from external command
    ($combined, $success) = qxy( @cmd );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<This module is no longer recommended by the maintainer> - see
L<Capture::Tiny> instead.

This module provides routines for capturing STDOUT and STDERR from perl
subroutines, forked system calls (e.g. C<system()>, C<fork()>) and from XS
or C modules.

=head1 NAME

=head1 FUNCTIONS

The following functions will be exported on demand.

=head2 capture()

    capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \$stderr;

Captures everything printed to C<STDOUT> and C<STDERR> for the duration of
C<&subroutine>. C<$stdout> and C<$stderr> are optional scalars that will
contain C<STDOUT> and C<STDERR> respectively.

C<capture()> uses a code prototype so the first argument can be specified
directly within brackets if desired.

    # shorthand with prototype
    capture C< print __PACKAGE__ > \$stdout, \$stderr;

Returns the return value(s) of C<&subroutine>. The sub is called in the
same context as C<capture()> was called e.g.:

    @rv = capture C< wantarray > ; # returns true
    $rv = capture C< wantarray > ; # returns defined, but not true
    capture C< wantarray >;       # void, returns undef

C<capture()> is able to capture output from subprocesses and C code, which
traditional C<tie()> methods of output capture are unable to do.

B<Note:> C<capture()> will only capture output that has been written or
flushed to the filehandle.

If the two scalar references refer to the same scalar, then C<STDERR> will
be merged to C<STDOUT> before capturing and the scalar will hold the
combined output of both.

    capture \&subroutine, \$combined, \$combined;

Normally, C<capture()> uses anonymous, temporary files for capturing
output.  If desired, specific file names may be provided instead as
additional options.

    capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \$stderr, $out_file, $err_file;

Files provided will be clobbered, overwriting any previous data, but will
persist after the call to C<capture()> for inspection or other
manipulation.

By default, when no references are provided to hold STDOUT or STDERR,
output is captured and silently discarded.

    # Capture STDOUT, discard STDERR
    capture \&subroutine, \$stdout;

    # Discard STDOUT, capture STDERR
    capture \&subroutine, undef, \$stderr;

However, even when using C<undef>, output can be captured to specific
files.

    # Capture STDOUT to a specific file, discard STDERR
    capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, undef, $outfile;

    # Discard STDOUT, capture STDERR to a specific file
    capture \&subroutine, undef, \$stderr, undef, $err_file;

    # Discard both, capture merged output to a specific file
    capture \&subroutine, undef, undef, $mergedfile;

It is a fatal error to merge STDOUT and STDERR and request separate,
specific files for capture.

    # ERROR:
    capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \$stdout, $out_file, $err_file;
    capture \&subroutine, undef, undef, $out_file, $err_file;

If either STDOUT or STDERR should be passed through to the terminal instead
of captured, provide a reference to undef -- C<\undef> -- instead of a
capture variable.

    # Capture STDOUT, display STDERR
    capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \undef;

    # Display STDOUT, capture STDERR
    capture \&subroutine, \undef, \$stderr;

=head2 capture_exec()

    ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code) = capture_exec(@args);

Captures and returns the output from C<system(@args)>. In scalar context,
C<capture_exec()> will return what was printed to C<STDOUT>. In list
context, it returns what was printed to C<STDOUT> and C<STDERR> as well as
a success flag and the exit value.

    $stdout = capture_exec('perl', '-e', 'print "hello world"');

    ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code) =
        capture_exec('perl', '-e', 'warn "Test"');

C<capture_exec> passes its arguments to C<system()> and on MSWin32 will
protect arguments with shell quotes if necessary.  This makes it a handy
and slightly more portable alternative to backticks, piped C<open()> and
C<IPC::Open3>.

The C<$success> flag returned will be true if the command ran successfully
and false if it did not (if the command could not be run or if it ran and
returned a non-zero exit value).  On failure, the raw exit value of the
C<system()> call is available both in the C<$exit_code> returned and in the
C<$?> variable.

  ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code) =
      capture_exec('perl', '-e', 'warn "Test" and exit 1');

  if ( ! $success ) {
      print "The exit code was " . ($exit_code >> 8) . "\n";
  }

See L<perlvar> for more information on interpreting a child process exit
code.

=head2 capture_exec_combined()

    ($combined, $success, $exit_code) = capture_exec_combined(
        'perl', '-e', 'print "hello\n"', 'warn "Test\n"
    );

This is just like C<capture_exec()>, except that it merges C<STDERR> with
C<STDOUT> before capturing output.

B<Note:> there is no guarantee that text printed to C<STDOUT> and C<STDERR>
in the subprocess will be appear in order. The actual order will depend on
how IO buffering is handled in the subprocess.
