FileHandle - supply object methods for filehandles
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use FileHandle;
$fh = FileHandle->new;
if ($fh->open("< file")) {
print <$fh>;
$fh->close;
}
$fh = FileHandle->new("> FOO");
if (defined $fh) {

$fh->close;
}
$fh = FileHandle->new("file", "r");
if (defined $fh) {
print <$fh>;
undef $fh; # automatically closes the file
}
$fh = FileHandle->new("file", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
if (defined $fh) {
print $fh "corge\n";
undef $fh; # automatically closes the file
}
$pos = $fh->getpos;
$fh->setpos($pos);
$fh->setvbuf($buffer_var, _IOLBF, 1024);

=head1 DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This class is now a front-end to the IO::* classes.
C
creates a C, which is a reference to a
newly created symbol (see the C package). If it receives any
parameters, they are passed to C; if the open fails,
the C object is destroyed. Otherwise, it is returned to
the caller.
C creates a C like C does.
It requires two parameters, which are passed to C;
if the fdopen fails, the C object is destroyed.
Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
C accepts one parameter or two. With one parameter,
it is just a front end for the built-in C function. With two
parameters, the first parameter is a filename that may include
whitespace or other special characters, and the second parameter is
the open mode, optionally followed by a file permission value.
If C receives a Perl mode string (">", "+<", etc.)
or a POSIX fopen() mode string ("w", "r+", etc.), it uses the basic
Perl C operator.
If C is given a numeric mode, it passes that mode
and the optional permissions value to the Perl C operator.
For convenience, C tries to import the O_XXX
constants from the Fcntl module. If dynamic loading is not available,
this may fail, but the rest of FileHandle will still work.
C is like C except that its first parameter
is not a filename but rather a file handle name, a FileHandle object,
or a file descriptor number.
If the C functions fgetpos() and fsetpos() are available, then
C returns an opaque value that represents the
current position of the FileHandle, and C uses
that value to return to a previously visited position.
If the C function setvbuf() is available, then C
sets the buffering policy for the FileHandle. The calling sequence
for the Perl function is the same as its C counterpart, including the
macros C<_IOFBF>, C<_IOLBF>, and C<_IONBF>, except that the buffer
parameter specifies a scalar variable to use as a buffer. WARNING: A
variable used as a buffer by C must not be
modified in any way until the FileHandle is closed or until
C is called again, or memory corruption may
result!
See L for complete descriptions of each of the following
supported C methods, which are just front ends for the
corresponding built-in functions:
close
fileno
getc
gets
eof
clearerr
seek
tell
See L for complete descriptions of each of the following
supported C methods:
autoflush
output_field_separator
output_record_separator
input_record_separator
input_line_number
format_page_number
format_lines_per_page
format_lines_left
format_name
format_top_name
format_line_break_characters
format_formfeed
Furthermore, for doing normal I/O you might need these:
=over 4
=item $fh->print
See L.
=item $fh->printf
See L.
=item $fh->getline
This works like <$fh> described in L
except that it's more readable and can be safely called in a
list context but still returns just one line.
=item $fh->getlines
This works like <$fh> when called in a list context to
read all the remaining lines in a file, except that it's more readable.
It will also croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context.

There are many other functions available since FileHandle is descended
from IO::File, IO::Seekable, and IO::Handle. Please see those
respective pages for documentation on more functions.
