NAME

Filesys::Virtual::Async::Plain - A plain non-blocking virtual filesystem

SYNOPSIS

use Filesys::Virtual::Async::Plain;

my $fs = Filesys::Virtual::Async::Plain->new( root => '/home/foo', );

$fs->mkdir( '/bar', $mode, sub { if ( $_[0] ) { print "success\n"; } else { print "failure:$!\n"; } });

DESCRIPTION

Filesys::Virtual::Async::Plain provides non-blocking access to virtual filesystem rooted in a real filesystem. It's like a chrooted filesytem

WARNING

This module is still in flux to an extent. It will change. I released this module early due to demand. If you'd like to suggest changes, please drop in the irc channel #poe on irc.perl.org and speak with xantus[] or Apocalypse

OBJECT METHODS

new( root => $path );

root is optional, and defaults to /. root is prepended to all paths after resolution

cwd()

Returns the current working directory (virtual)

root() or root( $path )

Gets or sets the root path

CALLBACK METHODS

All of these work exactly like the IO::AIO methods of the same name. Use IO::AIO as a reference for these functions. This module is mostly a wrapper around IO::AIO. All paths passed to these functions are resolved for you, so pass virtual paths, not the full path on disk as you would pass to aio

dirlist( $path, $withstat, $callback )

Not an aio method, but a helper that will fetch a list of files in a path, and optionally stat each file. The callback is called with an array. The first element is the file name and the second param is an array ref of the return value of io_stat() if requested.
