=head1 NAME

open - perl pragma to set default disciplines for input and output

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use open IN  => ":crlf", OUT => ":raw";
    use open OUT => ':utf8';
    use open IO  => ":encoding(iso-8859-7)";

    use open IO  => ':locale';
  
    use open ':utf8';
    use open ':locale';
    use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Full-fledged support for I/O disciplines is now implemented provided
Perl is configured to use PerlIO as its IO system (which is now the
default).

The C<open> pragma serves as one of the interfaces to declare default
"layers" (aka disciplines) for all I/O.

The C<open> pragma is used to declare one or more default layers for
I/O operations.  Any open(), readpipe() (aka qx//) and similar
operators found within the lexical scope of this pragma will use the
declared defaults.

With the C<IN> subpragma you can declare the default layers
of input sterams, and with the C<OUT> subpragma you can declare
the default layers of output streams.  With the C<IO>  subpragma
you can control both input and output streams simultaneously.

If you have a legacy encoding, you can use the C<:encoding(...)> tag.

if you want to set your encoding disciplines based on your
locale environment variables, you can use the C<:locale> tag.
For example:

    $ENV{LANG} = 'ru_RU.KOI8-R';
    # the :locale will probe the locale environment variables like LANG
    use open OUT => ':locale';
    open(O, ">koi8");
    print O chr(0x430); # Unicode CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A = KOI8-R 0xc1
    close O;
    open(I, "<koi8");
    printf "%#x\n", ord(<I>), "\n"; # this should print 0xc1
    close I;

These are equivalent

    use open ':utf8';
    use open IO => ':utf8';

as are these

    use open ':locale';
    use open IO => ':locale';

and these

    use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';
    use open IO => ':encoding(iso-8859-7)';

When open() is given an explicit list of layers they are appended to
the list declared using this pragma.

Directory handles may also support disciplines in future.

=head1 NONPERLIO FUNCTIONALITY

If Perl is not built to use PerlIO as its IO system then only the two
pseudo-disciplines ":raw" and ":crlf" are available.

The ":raw" discipline corresponds to "binary mode" and the ":crlf"
discipline corresponds to "text mode" on platforms that distinguish
between the two modes when opening files (which is many DOS-like
platforms, including Windows).  These two disciplines are no-ops on
platforms where binmode() is a no-op, but perform their functions
everywhere if PerlIO is enabled.

=head1 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

There is a class method in C<PerlIO::Layer> C<find> which is
implemented as XS code.  It is called by C<import> to validate the
layers:

   PerlIO::Layer::->find("perlio")

The return value (if defined) is a Perl object, of class
C<PerlIO::Layer> which is created by the C code in F<perlio.c>.  As
yet there is nothing useful you can do with the object at the perl
level.
