=head1 NAME

MIME::Body - the body of a MIME message


=head1 SYNOPSIS

Before reading further, you should see L to make sure that
you understand where this module fits into the grand scheme of things.
Go on, do it now.  I'll wait.

Ready?  Ok...


=head2 Obtaining bodies

   ### Get the bodyhandle of a MIME::Entity object:
   $body = $entity->bodyhandle;

   ### Create a body which stores data in a disk file:
   $body = new MIME::Body::File "/path/to/file";

   ### Create a body which stores data in an in-core array:
   $body = new MIME::Body::InCore \@strings;


=head2 Opening, closing, and using IO handles

   ### Write data to the body:
   $IO = $body->open("w")      || die "open body: $!";
   $IO->print($message);
   $IO->close                  || die "close I/O handle: $!";

   ### Read data from the body (in this case, line by line):
   $IO = $body->open("r")      || die "open body: $!";
   while (defined($_ = $IO->getline)) {
       ### do stuff
   }
   $IO->close                  || die "close I/O handle: $!";


=head2 Other I/O

   ### Dump the ENCODED body data to a filehandle:
   $body->print(\*STDOUT);

   ### Slurp all the UNENCODED data in, and put it in a scalar:
   $string = $body->as_string;

   ### Slurp all the UNENCODED data in, and put it in an array of lines:
   @lines = $body->as_lines;


=head2 Working directly with paths to underlying files

   ### Where's the data?
   if (defined($body->path)) {   ### data is on disk:
       print "data is stored externally, in ", $body->path;
   }
   else {                        ### data is in core:
       print "data is already in core, and is...\n", $body->as_string;
   }

   ### Get rid of anything on disk:
   $body->purge;


=head1 DESCRIPTION

MIME messages can be very long (e.g., tar files, MPEGs, etc.) or very
short (short textual notes, as in ordinary mail).  Long messages
are best stored in files, while short ones are perhaps best stored
in core.

This class is an attempt to define a common interface for objects
which contain message data, regardless of how the data is
physically stored.  The lifespan of a "body" object
usually looks like this:

=over 4

=item 1.

B
It's at this point that the actual MIME::Body subclass is chosen,
and new() is invoked.  (For example: if the body data is going to
a file, then it is at this point that the class MIME::Body::File,
and the filename, is chosen).

=item 2.

B (usually by the MIME parser) like this:
The body is opened for writing, via C.  This will trash any
previous contents, and return an "I/O handle" opened for writing.
Data is written to this I/O handle, via print().
Then the I/O handle is closed, via close().

=item 3.

B (usually by the user application) like this:
The body is opened for reading by a user application, via C.
This will return an "I/O handle" opened for reading.
Data is read from the I/O handle, via read(), getline(), or getlines().
Then the I/O handle is closed, via close().

=item 4.

=back

You can write your own subclasses, as long as they follow the
interface described below.  Implementers of subclasses should assume
that steps 2 and 3 may be repeated any number of times, and in
different orders (e.g., 1-2-2-3-2-3-3-3-3-3-2-4).

In any case, once a MIME::Body has been created, you ask to open it
for reading or writing, which gets you an "i/o handle": you then use
the same mechanisms for reading from or writing to that handle, no matter
what class it is.

Beware: unless you know for certain what kind of body you have, you
should I assume that the body has an underlying filehandle.

#------------------------------

=item new ARGS...

I
Create a new body.  Any ARGS are sent to init().

=cut

sub new {
    my $self = bless {}, shift;
    $self->init(@_);
    $self;
}

#------------------------------

=item init ARGS...

I
This is called automatically by C, with the arguments given
to C.  The arguments are optional, and entirely up to the
subclass.  The default method does nothing,

=cut

sub init { 1 }

#------------------------------

=item as_lines

I
Return the contents of the body as an array of lines (each terminated
by a newline, with the possible exception of the final one).
Returns empty on failure (NB: indistinguishable from an empty body!).

Note: the default method gets the data via
repeated getline() calls; your subclass might wish to override this.

=cut

sub as_lines {
    my $self = shift;
    my @lines;
    my $io = $self->open("r") || return ();
    local $_;
    push @lines, $_ while (defined($_ = $io->getline()));
    $io->close;
    @lines;
}

#------------------------------

=item as_string

I
Return the body data as a string (slurping it into core if necessary).
Best not to do this unless you're I that the body is reasonably small!
Returns empty string for an empty body, and undef on failure.

Note: the default method uses print(), which gets the data via
repeated read() calls; your subclass might wish to override this.

=cut

sub as_string {
    my $self = shift;
    my $str = '';
    my $fh = IO::File->new(\$str, '>:') or croak("Cannot open in-memory file: $!");
    $self->print($fh);
    close($fh);
    return $str;
}
*data = \&as_string;         ### silently invoke preferred usage


#------------------------------

=item binmode [ONOFF]

I
With argument, flags whether or not open() should return an I/O handle
which has binmode() activated.  With no argument, just returns the
current value.

=cut

sub binmode {
    my ($self, $onoff) = @_;
    $self->{MB_Binmode} = $onoff if (@_ > 1);
    $self->{MB_Binmode};
}

#------------------------------

=item is_encoded [ONOFF]

I
If set to yes, no decoding is applied on output. This flag is set
by MIME::Parser, if the parser runs in decode_bodies(0) mode, so the
content is handled unmodified.

=cut

sub is_encoded {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    $self->{MB_IsEncoded} = $yesno if (@_ > 1);
    $self->{MB_IsEncoded};
}

#------------------------------

=item dup

I
Duplicate the bodyhandle.

I external data in bodyhandles is I copied to new files!
Changing the data in one body's data file, or purging that body,
I affect its duplicate.  Bodies with in-core data probably need
not worry.

=cut

sub dup {
    my $self = shift;
    bless { %$self }, ref($self);   ### shallow copy ok for ::File and ::Scalar
}

#------------------------------

=item open READWRITE

I
This should do whatever is necessary to open the body for either
writing (if READWRITE is "w") or reading (if mode is "r").

This method is expected to return an "I/O handle" object on success,
and undef on error.  An I/O handle can be any object that supports a
small set of standard methods for reading/writing data.
See the IO::Handle class for an example.

=cut

sub open {
    undef;
}

#------------------------------

=item path [PATH]

I
If you're storing the body data externally (e.g., in a disk file), you'll
want to give applications the ability to get at that data, for cleanup.
This method should return the path to the data, or undef if there is none.

Where appropriate, the path I be a simple string, like a filename.
With argument, sets the PATH, which should be undef if there is none.

=cut

sub path {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->{MB_Path} = shift if @_;
    $self->{MB_Path};
}

#------------------------------

=item print FILEHANDLE

I
Output the body data to the given filehandle, or to the currently-selected
one if none is given.

=cut

sub print {
    my ($self, $fh) = @_;
    my $nread;

    ### Get output filehandle, and ensure that it's a printable object:
    $fh ||= select;

    ### Write it:
    my $buf = '';
    my $io = $self->open("r") || return undef;
    $fh->print($buf) while ($nread = $io->read($buf, 8192));
    $io->close;
    return defined($nread);    ### how'd we do?
}

#------------------------------

=item purge

I
Remove any data which resides external to the program (e.g., in disk files).
Immediately after a purge(), the path() should return undef to indicate
that the external data is no longer available.

=cut

sub purge {
    1;
}

=head1 SUBCLASSES

The following built-in classes are provided:

   Body                 Stores body     When open()ed,
   class:               data in:        returns:
   --------------------------------------------------------
   MIME::Body::File     disk file       IO::Handle
   MIME::Body::Scalar   scalar          IO::Handle
   MIME::Body::InCore   scalar array    IO::Handle

=cut


#------------------------------------------------------------
package MIME::Body::File;
#------------------------------------------------------------

=head2 MIME::Body::File

A body class that stores the data in a disk file.  Invoke the
constructor as:

    $body = new MIME::Body::File "/path/to/file";

In this case, the C method would return the given path,
so you I say:

    if (defined($body->path)) {
	open BODY, $body->path or die "open: $!";
	while () {
	    ### do stuff
        }
	close BODY;
    }

But you're best off not doing this.

#------------------------------------------------------------
package MIME::Body::Scalar;
#------------------------------------------------------------

=head2 MIME::Body::Scalar

A body class that stores the data in-core, in a simple scalar.
Invoke the constructor as:

    $body = new MIME::Body::Scalar \$string;

A single scalar argument sets the body to that value, exactly as though
you'd opened for the body for writing, written the value,
and closed the body again:

    $body = new MIME::Body::Scalar "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

A single array reference sets the body to the result of joining all the
elements of that array together:

    $body = new MIME::Body::Scalar ["Line 1\n",
                                    "Line 2\n",
                                    "Line 3"];

}





#------------------------------------------------------------
package MIME::Body::InCore;
#------------------------------------------------------------

=head2 MIME::Body::InCore

A body class that stores the data in-core.
Invoke the constructor as:

    $body = new MIME::Body::InCore \$string;
    $body = new MIME::Body::InCore  $string;
    $body = new MIME::Body::InCore \@stringarray

A simple scalar argument sets the body to that value, exactly as though
you'd opened for the body for writing, written the value,
and closed the body again:

    $body = new MIME::Body::InCore "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";

A single array reference sets the body to the concatenation of all
scalars that it holds:

    $body = new MIME::Body::InCore ["Line 1\n",
                                    "Line 2\n",
