__DATA__

=head1 NAME

Prima::Utils - miscellanneous routines

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The module contains several helper routines, implemented in both C and perl. 
Whereas the C-coded parts are accessible only if 'use Prima;' statement was issued
prior to the 'use Prima::Utils' invocation, the perl-coded are always available.
This makes the module valuable when used without the rest of toolkit code.

=head1 API

=over

=item alarm $TIMEOUT, $SUB, @PARAMS

Calls SUB with PARAMS after TIMEOUT milliseconds.

=item beep [ FLAGS = mb::Error ] 

Invokes the system-depended sound and/or visual bell, 
corresponding to one of following constants:

	mb::Error
	mb::Warning
	mb::Information
	mb::Question

=item get_gui

Returns one of C<gui::XXX> constants, reflecting the graphic
user interface used in the system:

	gui::Default
	gui::PM  
	gui::Windows
	gui::XLib 
	gui::GTK2

=item get_os

Returns one of C<apc::XXX> constants, reflecting the platfrom.
Currently, the list of the supported platforms is:

	apc::Os2    
	apc::Win32  
	apc::Unix

=item ceil DOUBLE

Obsolete function.

Returns stdlib's ceil() of DOUBLE

=item find_image PATH

Converts PATH from perl module notation into a file path, and
searches for the file in C<@INC> paths set. If a file is
found, its full filename is returned; otherwise C<undef> is
returned.

=item floor DOUBLE

Obsolete function.

Returns stdlib's floor() of DOUBLE

=item getdir PATH 

Reads content of PATH directory and 
returns array of string pairs, where the first item is a file
name, and the second is a file type.

The file type is a string, one of the following:

	"fifo" - named pipe
	"chr"  - character special file
	"dir"  - directory
	"blk"  - block special file
	"reg"  - regular file
	"lnk"  - symbolic link
	"sock" - socket
	"wht"  - whiteout

This function was implemented for faster directory reading, 
to avoid successive call of C<stat> for every file.

=item path [ FILE ]

If called with no parameters, returns path to a directory,
usually F<~/.prima>, that can be used to contain the user settings
of a toolkit module or a program. If FILE is specified, appends
it to the path and returns the full file name. In the latter case 
the path is automatically created by C<File::Path::mkpath> unless it
already exists.

=item post $SUB, @PARAMS

Postpones a call to SUB with PARAMS until the next event loop tick.

=item query_drives_map [ FIRST_DRIVE = "A:" ]

Returns anonymous array to drive letters, used by the system.
FIRST_DRIVE can be set to other value to start enumeration from.
Some OSes can probe eventual diskette drives inside the drive enumeration
routines, so there is a chance to increase responsiveness of the function
it might be reasonable to set FIRST_DRIVE to C<C:> string.

If the system supports no drive letters, empty array reference is returned ( unix ).

=item query_drive_type DRIVE

Returns one of C<dt::XXX> constants, describing the type of drive,
where DRIVE is a 1-character string. If there is no such drive, or
the system supports no drive letters ( unix ), C<dt::None> is returned.

	dt::None
	dt::Unknown
	dt::Floppy
	dt::HDD
	dt::Network
	dt::CDROM
	dt::Memory

=item sound [ FREQUENCY = 2000, DURATION = 100 ]

Issues a tone of FREQUENCY in Hz with DURATION in milliseconds.

=item username

Returns the login name of the user. 
Sometimes is preferred to the perl-provided C<getlogin> ( see L<perlfunc/getlogin> ) .

=item xcolor COLOR

Accepts COLOR string on one of the three formats:

	#rgb
	#rrggbb
	#rrrgggbbb

and returns 24-bit RGB integer value.
