=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<File::Binary> is a Binary file reading module, hence the name,
and was originally used to write a suite of modules for manipulating
Macromedia SWF files.

However it's grown beyond that and now actually, err, works.
And is generalised. And EVERYTHING! Yay!

It has methods for reading and writing signed and unsigned 8, 16 and
32 bit integers, at some point in the future I'll figure out a way of
putting in methods for >32bit integers nicely but until then, patches
welcome.

It hasn't retained backwards compatability with the old version of this
module for cleanliness sakes and also because the old interface was
pretty braindead.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Pass in either a file name or something which isa an IO::Handle.

=cut 

sub new {
    my ($class, $file) = @_;

    my $self = {};

    bless $self,  $class;

    $self->open($file);
    $self->set_endian($NATIVE_ENDIAN);


    return $self;
}

=head2 open

Pass in either a file name or something which isa an IO::Handle.

Will try and set binmode for the handle on if possible (i.e
if the object has a C<binmode> method) otherwise you should do
it yourself.

=cut 

sub open {
    my ($self, $file) = @_;

    my $fh;
    my $writeable = -1;

    if (ref($file) =~ /^IO::/ && $file->isa('IO::Handle')) {
        $fh = $file;
        $writeable = 2; # read and write mode
    } else {
        $fh = IO::File->new($file) || die "No such file $file\n";
        if ($file =~ /^>/) {
            $writeable = 1;
        } elsif ($file =~ /^\+>/) {
            $writeable=2;
        }
    }
    $fh->binmode if $fh->can('binmode');

    $self->{_bitbuf}      = '';
    $self->{_bitpos}      = 0;
    $self->{_fh}          = $fh;
    $self->{_fhpos}       = 0;
    $self->{_flush}       = 1;
    $self->{_writeable}   = $writeable;
    $self->{_is_seekable} = UNIVERSAL::isa($fh,'IO::Seekable')?1:0;


    return $self;
}

=head2 seek

Seek to a position.

Return our current position. If our file handle is not
B<ISA IO::Seekable> it will return 0 and, if
B<$File::Binary::DEBUG> is set to 1, there will be a warning.

You can optionally pass a whence option in the same way as
the builtin Perl seek() method. It defaults to C<SEEK_SET>.

Returns the current file position.


=cut

sub seek {
    my $self = shift;
    my $seek = shift;
    my $whence = shift || SEEK_SET;
    unless ($self->{_is_seekable}) {
        carp "FH is not seekable" if $DEBUG;
        return 0;
    }

    $self->{_fh}->seek($seek, $whence) if defined $seek;
    $self->_init_bits();
    return $self->{_fh}->tell();



}

=head2 tell

Return our current position. If our file handle is not
B<ISA IO::Seekable> then it will return 0 and, if
B<$File::Binary::DEBUG> is set to 1, there will be a
warning.

=cut

sub tell {
    my $self = shift;
    unless ($self->{_is_seekable}) {
        carp "FH is not seekable" if $DEBUG;
        return 0;
    }

    return $self->{_fh}->tell();
}



=head2 set_flush

To flush or not to flush. That is the question

=cut

sub set_flush {
     my ($self, $flush) = @_;

    $self->{_flush} = $flush;
}


=head2 set_endian

Set the how the module reads files. The options are

    $BIG_ENDIAN
    $LITTLE_ENDIAN
    $NATIVE_ENDIAN


I<NATIVE> will deduce  the endianess of the current system.

=cut

sub set_endian {
    my ($self, $endian) = @_;

    $endian ||= $NATIVE_ENDIAN;

    $endian = guess_endian() if ($endian == $NATIVE_ENDIAN);

        $self->{_ui16} = 'v';
        $self->{_ui32} = 'V';
    } else {
        $self->{_ui16} = 'n';
        $self->{_ui32} = 'N';
    }

    $self->{_endian} = $endian;

}


sub _init_bits {
    my $self = shift;

    if ($self->{_writeable}) {
        $self->_init_bits_write();
    } else {
        $self->_init_bits_read();
    }
}


sub _init_bits_write {
    my $self = shift;

    my $bits = $self->{'_bitbuf'};

    my $len  = length($bits);

    return if $len<=0;

    $self->{'_bitbuf'} = '';
    $self->{_fh}->write(pack('B8', $bits.('0'x(8-$len))));

}

sub _init_bits_read {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->{_pos}  = 0;
      $self->{_bits} = 0;

}


=head2 get_bytes

Get an arbitary number of bytes from the file.

=cut

    $bytes = int $bytes;

    carp("Must be positive number")                  if ($bytes <1);
    carp("This file has been opened in write mode.") if $self->{_writeable} == 1;

    $self->_init_bits() if $self->{_flush};

    $self->{_fh}->read(my $data, $bytes);

    $self->{_fhpos} += $bytes;

      return $data;
}


=head2 put_bytes

Write some bytes

=cut

sub put_bytes {
    my ($self, $bytes) = @_;

    ## TODO?
    #$self->_init_bits;
    $self->{_fh}->write($bytes);
}




# we could use POSIX::ceil here but I ph34r the POSIX lib
sub _round {
    my $num = shift || 0;

    return int ($num + 0.5 * ($num <=> 0 ) );
}





sub _get_num {
    my ($self, $bytes, $template)=@_;

    unpack $template, $self->get_bytes($bytes);

    $self->put_bytes(pack($template, _round($num)));
}

=head1 BUGS

Can't do numbers greater than 32 bits.

Can't extract Floating Point or Fixed Point numbers.

Can't extract null terminated strings.
