25 =head1 NAME
27 Automake::XFile - supply object methods for filehandles with error handling
29 =head1 SYNOPSIS

33 $fh = new Automake::XFile;
34 $fh->open ("file", "<");
35 # No need to check $FH: we died if open failed.
36 print <$fh>;

38 # No need to check the return value of close: we died if it failed.
40 $fh = new Automake::XFile "file", ">";
41 # No need to check $FH: we died if new failed.
42 print $fh "bar\n";
43 $fh->close;
45 $fh = new Automake::XFile "file", "r";
46 # No need to check $FH: we died if new failed.
47 defined $fh
48 print <$fh>;
49 undef $fh; # automatically closes the file and checks for errors.
51 $fh = new Automake::XFile "file", O_WRONLY | O_APPEND;
52 # No need to check $FH: we died if new failed.
53 print $fh "corge\n";

62 =head1 DESCRIPTION
64 C<Automake::XFile> inherits from C<IO::File>. It provides the method
65 C<name> returning the file name. It provides dying versions of the
66 methods C<close>, C<lock> (corresponding to C<flock>), C<new>,
67 C<open>, C<seek>, and C<truncate>. It also overrides the C<getline>
68 and C<getlines> methods to translate C<\r\n> to C<\n>.
