=head1 NAME

Capture::Tiny - Capture STDOUT and STDERR from Perl, XS or external programs

=head1 VERSION

version 0.44

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Capture::Tiny ':all';

  # capture from external command

  ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = capture {
    system( $cmd, @args );
  };

  # capture from arbitrary code (Perl or external)

  ($stdout, $stderr, @result) = capture {
    # your code here
  };

  # capture partial or merged output

  $stdout = capture_stdout { ... };
  $stderr = capture_stderr { ... };
  $merged = capture_merged { ... };

  # tee output

  ($stdout, $stderr) = tee {
    # your code here
  };

  $stdout = tee_stdout { ... };
  $stderr = tee_stderr { ... };
  $merged = tee_merged { ... };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Capture::Tiny provides a simple, portable way to capture almost anything sent
to STDOUT or STDERR, regardless of whether it comes from Perl, from XS code or
from an external program.  Optionally, output can be teed so that it is
captured while being passed through to the original filehandles.  Yes, it even
works on Windows (usually).  Stop guessing which of a dozen capturing modules
to use in any particular situation and just use this one.

=head1 USAGE

The following functions are available.  None are exported by default.

=head2 capture

  ($stdout, $stderr, @result) = capture \&code;
  $stdout = capture \&code;

The C<capture> function takes a code reference and returns what is sent to
STDOUT and STDERR as well as any return values from the code reference.  In
scalar context, it returns only STDOUT.  If no output was received for a
filehandle, it returns an empty string for that filehandle.  Regardless of calling
context, all output is captured -- nothing is passed to the existing filehandles.

It is prototyped to take a subroutine reference as an argument. Thus, it
can be called in block form:

  ($stdout, $stderr) = capture {
    # your code here ...
  };

Note that the coderef is evaluated in list context.  If you wish to force
scalar context on the return value, you must use the C<scalar> keyword.

  ($stdout, $stderr, $count) = capture {
    my @list = qw/one two three/;
    return scalar @list; # $count will be 3
  };

Also note that within the coderef, the C<@_> variable will be empty.  So don't
use arguments from a surrounding subroutine without copying them to an array
first:

  sub wont_work {
    my ($stdout, $stderr) = capture { do_stuff( @_ ) };    # WRONG
    ...
  }

  sub will_work {
    my @args = @_;
    my ($stdout, $stderr) = capture { do_stuff( @args ) }; # RIGHT
    ...
  }

Captures are normally done to an anonymous temporary filehandle.  To
capture via a named file (e.g. to externally monitor a long-running capture),
provide custom filehandles as a trailing list of option pairs:

  my $out_fh = IO::File->new("out.txt", "w+");
  my $err_fh = IO::File->new("out.txt", "w+");
  capture { ... } stdout => $out_fh, stderr => $err_fh;

The filehandles must be read/write and seekable.  Modifying the files or
filehandles during a capture operation will give unpredictable results.
Existing IO layers on them may be changed by the capture.

When called in void context, C<capture> saves memory and time by
not reading back from the capture handles.

=head2 capture_stdout

  ($stdout, @result) = capture_stdout \&code;
  $stdout = capture_stdout \&code;

The C<capture_stdout> function works just like C<capture> except only
STDOUT is captured.  STDERR is not captured.

=head2 capture_stderr

  ($stderr, @result) = capture_stderr \&code;
  $stderr = capture_stderr \&code;

The C<capture_stderr> function works just like C<capture> except only
STDERR is captured.  STDOUT is not captured.

=head2 capture_merged

  ($merged, @result) = capture_merged \&code;
  $merged = capture_merged \&code;

The C<capture_merged> function works just like C<capture> except STDOUT and
STDERR are merged. (Technically, STDERR is redirected to the same capturing
handle as STDOUT before executing the function.)

Caution: STDOUT and STDERR output in the merged result are not guaranteed to be
properly ordered due to buffering.

=head2 tee

  ($stdout, $stderr, @result) = tee \&code;
  $stdout = tee \&code;

The C<tee> function works just like C<capture>, except that output is captured
as well as passed on to the original STDOUT and STDERR.

When called in void context, C<tee> saves memory and time by
not reading back from the capture handles, except when the
original STDOUT OR STDERR were tied or opened to a scalar
handle.

=head2 tee_stdout

  ($stdout, @result) = tee_stdout \&code;
  $stdout = tee_stdout \&code;

The C<tee_stdout> function works just like C<tee> except only
STDOUT is teed.  STDERR is not teed (output goes to STDERR as usual).

=head2 tee_stderr

  ($stderr, @result) = tee_stderr \&code;
  $stderr = tee_stderr \&code;

The C<tee_stderr> function works just like C<tee> except only
STDERR is teed.  STDOUT is not teed (output goes to STDOUT as usual).

=head2 tee_merged

  ($merged, @result) = tee_merged \&code;
  $merged = tee_merged \&code;

The C<tee_merged> function works just like C<capture_merged> except that output
is captured as well as passed on to STDOUT.

Caution: STDOUT and STDERR output in the merged result are not guaranteed to be
properly ordered due to buffering.

=head1 LIMITATIONS

=head2 Portability

Portability is a goal, not a guarantee.  C<tee> requires fork, except on
Windows where C<system(1, @cmd)> is used instead.  Not tested on any
particularly esoteric platforms yet.  See the
L<CPAN Testers Matrix|http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Capture-Tiny>
for test result by platform.

=head2 PerlIO layers

Capture::Tiny does its best to preserve PerlIO layers such as ':utf8' or
':crlf' when capturing (only for Perl 5.8.1+) .  Layers should be applied to
STDOUT or STDERR I<before> the call to C<capture> or C<tee>.  This may not work
for tied filehandles (see below).

=head2 Modifying filehandles before capturing

Generally speaking, you should do little or no manipulation of the standard IO
filehandles prior to using Capture::Tiny.  In particular, closing, reopening,
localizing or tying standard filehandles prior to capture may cause a variety of
unexpected, undesirable and/or unreliable behaviors, as described below.
Capture::Tiny does its best to compensate for these situations, but the
results may not be what you desire.

=head3 Closed filehandles

Capture::Tiny will work even if STDIN, STDOUT or STDERR have been previously
closed.  However, since they will be reopened to capture or tee output, any
code within the captured block that depends on finding them closed will, of
course, not find them to be closed.  If they started closed, Capture::Tiny will
close them again when the capture block finishes.

Note that this reopening will happen even for STDIN or a filehandle not being
captured to ensure that the filehandle used for capture is not opened to file
descriptor 0, as this causes problems on various platforms.

Prior to Perl 5.12, closed STDIN combined with PERL_UNICODE=D leaks filehandles
and also breaks tee() for undiagnosed reasons.  So don't do that.

=head3 Localized filehandles

If code localizes any of Perl's standard filehandles before capturing, the capture
will affect the localized filehandles and not the original ones.  External system
calls are not affected by localizing a filehandle in Perl and will continue
to send output to the original filehandles (which will thus not be captured).

=head3 Scalar filehandles

If STDOUT or STDERR are reopened to scalar filehandles prior to the call to
C<capture> or C<tee>, then Capture::Tiny will override the output filehandle for
the duration of the C<capture> or C<tee> call and then, for C<tee>, send captured
output to the output filehandle after the capture is complete.  (Requires Perl
5.8)

Capture::Tiny attempts to preserve the semantics of STDIN opened to a scalar
reference, but note that external processes will not be able to read from such
a handle.  Capture::Tiny tries to ensure that external processes will read from
the null device instead, but this is not guaranteed.

=head3 Tied output filehandles

If STDOUT or STDERR are tied prior to the call to C<capture> or C<tee>, then
Capture::Tiny will attempt to override the tie for the duration of the
C<capture> or C<tee> call and then send captured output to the tied filehandle after
the capture is complete.  (Requires Perl 5.8)

Capture::Tiny may not succeed resending UTF-8 encoded data to a tied
STDOUT or STDERR filehandle.  Characters may appear as bytes.  If the tied filehandle
is based on L<Tie::StdHandle>, then Capture::Tiny will attempt to determine
appropriate layers like C<:utf8> from the underlying filehandle and do the right
thing.

=head3 Tied input filehandle

Capture::Tiny attempts to preserve the semantics of tied STDIN, but this
requires Perl 5.8 and is not entirely predictable.  External processes
will not be able to read from such a handle.

Unless having STDIN tied is crucial, it may be safest to localize STDIN when
capturing:

  my ($out, $err) = do { local *STDIN; capture { ... } };

=head2 Modifying filehandles during a capture

Attempting to modify STDIN, STDOUT or STDERR I<during> C<capture> or C<tee> is
almost certainly going to cause problems.  Don't do that.

=head3 Forking inside a capture

Forks aren't portable.  The behavior of filehandles during a fork is even
less so.  If Capture::Tiny detects that a fork has occurred within a
capture, it will shortcut in the child process and return empty strings for
captures.  Other problems may occur in the child or parent, as well.
Forking in a capture block is not recommended.

=head3 Dropping privileges during a capture

If you drop privileges during a capture, temporary files created to
facilitate the capture may not be cleaned up afterwards.

=head2 No support for Perl 5.8.0

It's just too buggy when it comes to layers and UTF-8.  Perl 5.8.1 or later
is recommended.

=head2 Limited support for Perl 5.6

Perl 5.6 predates PerlIO.  UTF-8 data may not be captured correctly.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

=head2 PERL_CAPTURE_TINY_TIMEOUT

Capture::Tiny uses subprocesses internally for C<tee>.  By default,
Capture::Tiny will timeout with an error if such subprocesses are not ready to
receive data within 30 seconds (or whatever is the value of
C<$Capture::Tiny::TIMEOUT>).  An alternate timeout may be specified by setting
the C<PERL_CAPTURE_TINY_TIMEOUT> environment variable.  Setting it to zero will
disable timeouts.  B<NOTE>, this does not timeout the code reference being
captured -- this only prevents Capture::Tiny itself from hanging your process
waiting for its child processes to be ready to proceed.

=head1 SEE ALSO

This module was inspired by L<IO::CaptureOutput>, which provides
similar functionality without the ability to tee output and with more
complicated code and API.  L<IO::CaptureOutput> does not handle layers
or most of the unusual cases described in the L</Limitations> section and
I no longer recommend it.

There are many other CPAN modules that provide some sort of output capture,
albeit with various limitations that make them appropriate only in particular
circumstances.  I'm probably missing some.  The long list is provided to show
why I felt Capture::Tiny was necessary.
