-- Light Unix I/O for Lua
-- Copyright 2012 Rob Kendrick <rjek+luxio@rjek.com>
--
-- Distributed under the same terms as Lua itself (MIT).
--
-- A wrapper around the rather raw interface luxio normally provides to
-- make things simpler.

--- High-level bindings to POSIX functionality.
--- @module luxio.simple

--
-- sio = require "luxio.simple"
--
-- sio.stdin, .stdout, .stderr
--         descriptor objects for standard IO end points
--
-- myfile = assert(sio.open("filename", "flags"[, "mode"]))
--          flags is a string, each flag is a single character:
--             r = open for reading (O_RDONLY)
--             w = open for writing (O_WRONLY)
--             + = open in append mode (O_APPEND)
--             c = create file if it does not already exist (O_CREAT)
--             e = ensure this call creates the file (O_EXCL)
--             n = do not update the access time (O_NOATIME)
--             d = where possible, open non-blocking (O_NONBLOCK)
--             t = truncate file if it already exists (O_TRUNC)
--
--             returns file object, or nil, error string, errno.
--
-- myfile.fd
--         file descriptor number of the object
--
-- myfile.name
--         descriptive name of file (such as file name, sockaddr, etc)
--
-- myfile.closed
--         bool indicating if this descriptor has been closed
--
-- myfile:close()
--         close the file.
--         returns true, or nil, errorstring, errno.
--
-- myfile:nonblocking([bool])
--         bool: true to set non-blocking, false to set blocking, nil to
--               make no change
--         returns bool indicating current state, or nil, error string and
--         errno.
--
-- myfile:write(string[, offset])
--         writes string to the file, optionally starting at offset bytes in
--         returns number of bytes written, or nil, error string, errno
--
-- myfile:writev(...)
--         writes ALL the strings!
--         return number of bytes written, or nil, error string, errno
--
-- myfile:seek([whence][, offset])
--         seek within the file.  whence can be one of cur, set and end.
--         values default to cur and 0.
--         returns new offset, or nil, error string, errno
--
-- myfile:read(pattern[, pattern...])
--         reads data from the file.  pattern can be:
--         a number: read this number of bytes.
--         "*a": read all data until EOF
--         "*l": read a line (warning: inefficient, reads a byte at a time!)
--         returns the results, or nil, error string, errno
--
-- myfile:chmod(mode)
--         Change permissions of an open descriptor's backing file.
--
-- myfile:nogc()
--         do not close the descriptor on garbage collect
--
-- myfile:lock(mode, whence, start, len, wait)
--         Manipulates advisory locks on file regions.
--         mode is one of "r", "w", or "", for read lock, write lock, or
--         unset lock.  whence, like seek, one of "cur", "set", "end".
--         start and len describe the region.  If wait is set, it will
--         wait until the lock is available before claiming it and
--         returning.
--
-- myfile:unlock(whence, start, len)
--         Same as above, except implicitly passes "" on your behave in mode
--
-- myfile:locktest(mode, whence, start, len)
--         As above, but it does not claim the lock, just checks if it
--         is available.  Returns true if the lock would work, or false
--         and a pid of the holder if the lock is already taken.
--
-- myfile = sio.wrap_fd(fd[, nogc][, name])
--         wrap an fd aquired elsewhere with functions here
--         fd: number of file descriptor
--         nogc: do not close file when object is collected (default false)
--         name: symbolic name of descriptor (default "<unknown>")
--
-- read_pipe, write_pipe = sio.pipe()
--         create an anonymous pipe, returning both halves, the read end and
--         the write end, or nil, error message, errno.
--
-- sock1, sock2 = sio.socketpair()
--         creates a pair of stream UNIX domain sockets, returning both.
--         Optionally pass luxio.SOCK_DGRAM if you want a datagram socket.
--
-- mysock = sio.inet([socktype])
--         create an IPv4 socket of socktype, either "tcp" (default) or "udp".
--         returns socket object or nil, error string, errno
--
-- mysock = sio.inet6([socktype])
--         create an IPv6 socket of socktype, either "tcp" (default) or "udp".
--         returns socket object or nil, error string, errno
--
-- mysock = sio.connect(host, service)
--         connects to a remote host via tcp, using getaddrinfo() to find
--         possibilities.  Does resolving, and can connect to both IPv4 and
--         IPv6 hosts.  returns socket object, or nil, error string, errno.
--
-- mysock = sio.bind(host, service[, backlog])
--         creates a TCP socket and binds it to the specified host and service.
--         returns socket object or nil, error string, errno
--
-- mysock:connect(address, port)
--         connects to an address and port.  No host name lookup is done.
--         returns true, or nil, error string, errno.
--
-- mysock:bind(address, port)
--         binds to an address and port.  No host name lookup is done.
--         returns true, or nil, error string, errno

--         enables listening for connections.
--         returns true, or nil, error string, errno
--
-- mysock:accept()
--         returns the next connection in the queue as a socket object, or
--         nil, error string, errno
--
-- mysock:setsockopt(level, option, value)
--         sets a socket option, such as SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR.
--         returns true, or nil, error message, errno
--
-- mysock:getsockopt(level, option)
--         gets a socket option
--         returns the value, or nil, error message, errno

--
-- opendir(path)
--         Returns an object for directory enumeration,
--         or nil, error message, errno
-- mydir:iterate()

--         returns two values, a file name and a table containing
--         d_ino, d_name and possibly d_type.
-- mydir:next()
--         Returns a table containing d_ino, d_name and possibly d_type,
--         or nil at end of directory.

--         Returns 0, or nil, errmsg, errno
--

--         Forks the process.  Returns 0 to the child, pid of child to
--         parent, or nil, errmsg, errno
-- exec(path, ...)
--         Replaces this proces with another.  Either never returns, or
--         returns nil, errmsg, errno
-- waitpid([pid[, options]])
--         Waits for a child to exit, and returns its exit status.  pid
--         defaults to -1.

--
-- flags()
--         Parses a list of comma-seperated flag strings, looks them up
--         as UNIX constants, and ORs them together.
--         Common suffixes are optional, and the system is case-insensitive.
--         For example, flags("rdrw,creat,excl") would be the same as ORing
--         together O_RDWR, O_CREAT, and O_EXCL.
