=head1 NAME

File::Rsync - perl module interface to rsync(1) F<http://rsync.samba.org/rsync/>

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use File::Rsync;

    $obj = File::Rsync->new(
        archive      => 1,
        compress     => 1,
        rsh          => '/usr/local/bin/ssh',
        'rsync-path' => '/usr/local/bin/rsync'
    );

    $obj->exec( src => 'localdir', dest => 'rhost:remotedir' )
        or warn "rsync failed\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl Convenience wrapper for the rsync(1) program.  Written for I<rsync-2.3.2>
and updated for I<rsync-3.1.1> but should perform properly with most recent
versions.

=head2 File::Rsync::new

    $obj = new File::Rsync;

        or

    $obj = File::Rsync->new;

        or

    $obj = File::Rsync->new(@options);

Create a I<File::Rsync> object.
Any options passed at creation are stored in the object as defaults for all
future I<exec> calls on that object.
Options may be passed in the style of a hash (key/value pairs) and are the
same as the long options in I<rsync(1)> without the leading double-hyphen.
Any leading single or double-hyphens are removed, and you may use underscore
in place of hyphens in option names to simplify quoting and avoid possible
equation parsing (subtraction).

Although options are key/value pairs, as of version 0.46 the order is now
preserved.  Passing a hash reference is still supported for backwards
compatibility, but is deprecated as order cannot be preserved for this case.

An additional option of B<path-to-rsync> also exists which can be used to
override the using PATH environemt variable to find the rsync command binary,
and B<moddebug> which causes the module methods to print some debugging
information to STDERR.

There are also 2 options to wrap the source and/or destination paths in
double-quotes: these are B<quote-src> and B<quote-dst>, which may be useful
in protecting the paths from shell expansion (particularly useful for paths
containing spaces).  This wraps all source and/or destination paths in
double-quotes to limit remote shell expansion.  It is similar but not
necessarily the same result as the B<protect-args> option in rsync itself.

The B<outfun> and B<errfun> options take a function reference, called once
for each line of output from the I<rsync> program with the output line passed
in as the first argument, the second arg is either 'out' or 'err' depending
on the source.
This makes it possible to use the same function for both and still determine
where the output came from.

If options are passed as a hash reference (deprecated), the B<exclude>
needs an array reference as it's value since there cannot be duplicate keys
in a hash.  Since order cannot be preserved in a hash, this module currently
limits the use of B<exclude> or B<include> together.
They can be mixed together if options are in the form of a list or array ref.

Use the '+ ' or '- ' prefix trick to put includes in an B<exclude> array, or
to put excludes in an B<include> array (see I<rsync(1)> for details).

Include/exclude options form an ordered list.
The order must be retained for proper execution.
There are also B<source> and B<dest> keys.
The key B<src> is also accepted as an equivalent to B<source>, and B<dst> or
B<destination> may be used as equivalents to B<dest>.
The B<source> option may take a scalar or an array reference.
If the source is the local system then multiple B<source> paths are allowed.
In this case an array reference should be used.
There is also a method for passing multiple source paths to a remote system.
This method may be triggered in this module by passing the remote hostname to
the B<srchost> key and passing an array reference to the B<source> key.
If the source host is being accessed via an Rsync server, the remote hostname
should have a single trailing colon on the name.
When rsync is called, the B<srchost> value and the values in the B<source>
array will be joined with a colon resulting in the double-colon required for
server access.
The B<dest> key only takes a scalar since I<rsync> only accepts a single
destination path.

Version 2.6.0 of I<rsync(1)> provides a new B<files-from> option along with
a few other supporting options (B<from0>, B<no-relative>, and
B<no-implied-dirs>).
To support this wonderful new option at the level it deserves, this module
now has an additional parameter.
As of version 0.46 the value of B<files-from> may be an array reference.
The contents of the array are passed to B<files-from> the same as the
below method using B<infun> but implemented inside the module.

If B<files-from> is set to '-' (meaning read from stdin) you can define
B<infun> to be a reference to a function that prints your file list to the
default file handle.
The output from the function is attached to stdin of the rsync call during
exec.
If B<infun> is defined it will be called regardless of the value of
B<files-from>, so it can provide any data expected on stdin, but keep in mind
that stdin will not be attached to a tty so it is not very useful for sending
passwords (see the I<rsync(1)> and I<ssh(1)> man pages for ways to handle
authentication).
The I<rsync(1)> man page has a more complete description of B<files-from>.
Also see L<File::Find> for ideas to use with B<files-from> and B<infun>.

The B<infun> option may also be used with the B<include-from> or
B<exclude-from> options, but this is generally more clumsy than using the
B<include> or B<exclude> arrays.

Version 2.6.3 of I<rsync(1)> provides new options B<partial-dir>,
B<checksum-seed>, B<keep-dirlinks>, B<inplace>, B<ipv4>, and B<ipv6>.
Version 2.6.4 of I<rsync(1)> provides new options B<del>, B<delete-before>
B<delete-during>, B<delay-updates>, B<dirs>, B<filter>, B<fuzzy>,
B<itemize-changes>, B<list-only>, B<omit-dir-times>, B<remove-sent-files>,
B<max-size>, and B<protocol>.

Version 0.38 of this module also added support for the B<acls> option that
is not part of I<rsync(1)> unless the patch has been applied, but people do
use it.
It also includes a new B<literal> option that takes an array reference
similar to B<include>, B<exclude>, and B<filter>.
Any arguments in the array are passed as literal arguments to rsync, and are
passed first.
They should have the proper single or double hyphen prefixes and the elements
should be split up the way you want them passed to exec.
The purpose of this option is to allow the use of arbitrary options added by
patches, and/or to allow the use of new options in rsync without needing an
imediate update to the module in addtition to I<rsync(1)> itself.

=head2 File::Rsync::defopts

        or

    $obj->defopts(\@options);

Set default options for future exec calls for the object.
See I<rsync(1)> for a complete list of valid options.
This is really the internal method that I<new> calls but you can use it too.
The B<verbose> and B<quiet> options to rsync are actually counters.
When assigning the perl hash-style options you may specify the counter value
directly and the module will pass the proper number of options to rsync.

I<getcmd> returns a reference to an array containing the real rsync command

The function is exposed to allow a user-defined exec function to be used, or

=head2 File::Rsync::exec

    $obj->exec(@options) or warn "rsync failed\n";

        or

    $obj->exec(\@options) or warn "rsync failed\n";

This is the method that does the real work.
Any options passed to this routine are appended to any pre-set options and
are not saved.
They effect the current execution of I<rsync> only.
In the case of conflicts, the options passed directly to I<exec> take
precedence.
It returns B<1> if the return status was zero (or true), if the I<rsync>
return status was non-zero it returns B<0> and stores the return status.
You can examine the return status from I<rsync> and any output to stdout and
stderr with the methods listed below.

=cut

sub exec {
   my $self = shift;

   my ($cmd, $infun, $outfun, $errfun, $debug) = $self->getcmd(@_);
   return unless $cmd;
   warn "exec: @$cmd\n" if $debug;
   run3($cmd, $infun, \my $stdout, \my $stderr);
   $self->{_lastcmd}    = $cmd;
   $self->{_realstatus} = $?;
   $self->{_status}     = $? & 127 ? $? & 127 : $? >> 8;
   $self->{_out}        = $stdout ? [ split /^/m, $stdout ] : '';
   $self->{_err}        = $stderr ? [ split /^/m, $stderr ] : '';
   if ($outfun and $self->{_out}) {
      for (@{$self->{_out}}) { $outfun->($_, 'out') }
   }
   if ($errfun and $self->{_err}) {
      for (@{$self->{_err}}) { $errfun->($_, 'err') }
   }
   return ($self->{_status} ? 0 : 1);
}

=head2 File::Rsync::list

    $out = $obj->list(@options);

        or

    $out = $obj->list(\@options);

        or

    @out = $obj->list(\@options);

This is a wrapper for I<exec> called without a destination to get a listing.
It returns the output of stdout like the I<out> function below.
When no destination is given rsync returns the equivalent of 'ls -l' or
'ls -lr' modified by any include/exclude/filter parameters you specify.
This is useful for manual comparison without actual changes to the
destination or for comparing against another listing taken at a different
point in time.

(As of rsync version 2.6.4-pre1 this can also be accomplished with the
'list-only' option regardless of whether a destination is given.)

=cut

sub list {
   my $self = shift;
   $self->{_list_mode}++;
   $self->exec(@_);
   if ($self->{_out}) {
      return (wantarray ? @{$self->{_out}} : $self->{_out});
   } else {
      return;
   }
}

=head2 File::Rsync::status

    $rval = $obj->status;

Returns the status from last I<exec> call right shifted 8 bits.

=cut

sub status {
   my $self = shift;
   return $self->{_status};
}

=head2 File::Rsync::realstatus

    $rval = $obj->realstatus;

Returns the real status from last I<exec> call (not right shifted).

=cut

sub realstatus {
   my $self = shift;
   return $self->{_realstatus};
}

=head2 File::Rsync::err

    $aref = $obj->err;

In scalar context this method will return a reference to an array containing
all output to stderr from the last I<exec> call, or zero (false) if there
was no output.
In an array context it will return an array of all output to stderr or an
empty list.
The scalar context can be used to efficiently test for the existance of output.
I<rsync> sends all messages from the remote I<rsync> process and any error
messages to stderr.
This method's purpose is to make it easier for you to parse that output for
appropriate information.

=cut

sub err {
   my $self = shift;
   if ($self->{_err}) {
      return (wantarray ? @{$self->{_err}} : $self->{_err});
   } else {
      return;
   }
}

=head2 File::Rsync::out

    $aref = $obj->out;

Similar to the I<err> method, in a scalar context it returns a reference to an
array containing all output to stdout from the last I<exec> call, or zero
(false) if there was no output.
In an array context it returns an array of all output to stdout or an empty
list.
I<rsync> sends all informational messages (B<verbose> option) from the local
I<rsync> process to stdout.

=cut

sub out {
   my $self = shift;
   if ($self->{_out}) {
      return (wantarray ? @{$self->{_out}} : $self->{_out});
   } else {
      return;
   }
}

=head2 File::Rsync::lastcmd

    $aref = $obj->lastcmd;

Returns the actual system command used by the last I<exec> call, or '' before
any calls to I<exec> for the object.
This can be useful in the case of an error condition to give a more
informative message or for debugging purposes.
In an array context it return an array of args as passed to the system, in
a scalar context it returns a space-seperated string.
See I<getcmd> for access to the command before execution.

=cut

sub lastcmd {
   my $self = shift;
   if ($self->{_lastcmd}) {
      return wantarray ? @{$self->{_lastcmd}} : join ' ',
         @{$self->{_lastcmd}};
   } else {
      return;
   }
}

I borrowed many clues on wrapping an external program from the PGP modules,
and I would not have had such a useful tool to wrap except for the great work
of the B<rsync> authors.  Thanks also to Graham Barr, the author of the libnet
modules and many others, for looking over this code.  Of course I must mention
the other half of my brain, John Steele, and his good friend Philip Kizer for
finding B<rsync> and bringing it to my attention.  And I would not have been
able to enjoy writing useful tools if not for the creator of the B<perl>
language.
