14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::Index::Abstract - Abstract interface for indexing a flat file
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 You should not be using this module directly
22 =head1 USING DB_FILE
24 To use DB_File and not SDBM for this index, pass the value:
26 -dbm_package => 'DB_File'
28 to new (see below).
30 =head1 DESCRIPTION
32 This object provides the basic mechanism to associate positions
33 in files with names. The position and filenames are stored in DBM
34 which can then be accessed later on. It is the equivalent of flat
35 file indexing (eg, SRS or efetch).
37 This object is the guts to the mechanism, which will be used by the
38 specific objects inheriting from it.
40 =head1 FEEDBACK
42 =head2 Mailing Lists
44 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
45 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
46 of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

51 =head2 Support
53 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
55 I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
57 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
58 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
59 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
60 with code and data examples if at all possible.

121 Function: Returns a new index object. If filename is
122 specified, then open_dbm() is immediately called.
123 Bio::Index::Abstract->new() will usually be called
124 directly only when opening an existing index.

126 Args : -filename The name of the dbm index file.
127 -write_flag TRUE if write access to the dbm file is
128 needed.

130 index.
131 -verbose Print debugging output to STDERR if
132 TRUE.

196 If the value is unset, then it returns the value of
197 the package variable $USE_DBM_TYPE or if that is
198 unset, then it chooses the best available dbm type,
199 choosing 'DB_File' in preference to 'SDBM_File'.

255 Usage : $stream = $index->get_stream( $id );
256 Function: Returns a file handle with the file pointer
257 at the approprite place
259 This provides for a way to get the actual
260 file contents and not an object
262 WARNING: you must parse the record deliminter
263 *yourself*. Abstract won't do this for you
264 So this code
266 $fh = $index->get_stream($myid);
267 while( <$fh> ) {

270 will parse the entire file if you don't put in
271 a last statement in, like

274 /^\/\// && last; # end of record
275 # do something
278 Returns : A filehandle object

351 =head2 open_dbm
353 Usage : $index->open_dbm()
354 Function: Opens the dbm file associated with the index
355 object. Write access is only given if explicitly
356 asked for by calling new(-write => 1) or having set
357 the write_flag(1) on the index object. The type of
358 dbm file opened is that returned by dbm_package().
359 The name of the file to be is opened is obtained by
360 calling the filename() method.
362 Example : $index->_open_dbm()
363 Returns : 1 on success

423 =head2 _version
425 Title : _version
426 Usage : $type = $index->_version()
427 Function: Returns a string which identifes the version of an
428 index module. Used to permanently identify an index
429 file as having been created by a particular version
430 of the index module. Must be provided by the sub class
431 Example :
432 Returns :
433 Args : none

465 return $code;
470 =head2 _type_and_version
472 Title : _type_and_version
473 Usage : Called by _initalize
474 Function: Checks that the index opened is made by the same index
475 module and version of that module that made it. If the
476 index is empty, then it adds the information to the
477 database.
478 Example :
479 Returns : 1 or exception
480 Args : none
482 =cut
484 sub _type_and_version {

505 =head2 _check_file_sizes
507 Title : _check_file_sizes
508 Usage : $index->_check_file_sizes()
509 Function: Verifies that the files listed in the database
510 are the same size as when the database was built,
511 or throws an exception. Called by the new()
512 function.

530 return 1;
534 =head2 make_index
536 Title : make_index
537 Usage : $index->make_index( FILE_LIST )
538 Function: Takes a list of file names, checks that they are
539 all fully qualified, and then calls _filename() on
540 each. It supplies _filename() with the name of the
541 file, and an integer which is stored with each record
542 created by _filename(). Can be called multiple times,
543 and can be used to add to an existing index file.
544 Example : $index->make_index( '/home/seqs1', '/home/seqs2', '/nfs/pub/big_db' );
545 Returns : Number of files indexed
546 Args : LIST OF FILES

630 Title : pathtype
631 Usage : $index->pathtype($pathtype)
632 Function: Set the type of the file path
633 Only two values are supported, 'relative' or 'absolute'.
634 If the user does not give any value, it is set to
635 absolute by default. Thus it mimics the default
636 behavior of Bio::Index::Abstract module.
637 Example : my $index = Bio::Index::Abstract->(-pathtype => 'relative',
638 -file => $file.inx,
641 $index->pathtype('relative');
642 Returns : Type of the path.

674 my $self = shift;
676 my $pkg = ref($self);
677 $self->throw("Error: '$pkg' does not provide the _index_file() method");
682 =head2 _file_handle
684 Title : _file_handle
685 Usage : $fh = $index->_file_handle( INT )
686 Function: Returns an open filehandle for the file
687 index INT. On opening a new filehandle it
688 caches it in the @{$index->_filehandle} array.
689 If the requested filehandle is already open,
690 it simply returns it from the array.
691 Example : $first_file_indexed = $index->_file_handle( 0 );
692 Returns : ref to a filehandle
693 Args : INT
695 =cut
697 sub _file_handle {

702 or $self->throw("Can't get filename for index : $i");
703 my $file = $rec[0];
704 open my $fh, '<', $file or $self->throw("Could not read file '$file': $!");
705 $self->{'_filehandle'}[$i] = $fh; # Cache filehandle
707 return $self->{'_filehandle'}[$i];
711 =head2 _file_count
713 Title : _file_count
714 Usage : $index->_file_count( INT )
715 Function: Used by the index building sub in a sub class to
716 track the number of files indexed. Sets or gets
717 the number of files indexed when called with or
718 without an argument.
719 Example :
720 Returns : INT
721 Args : INT
723 =cut
725 sub _file_count {
726 my $self = shift;
727 if (@_) {
728 $self->db->{'__FILE_COUNT'} = shift;
730 return $self->db->{'__FILE_COUNT'};
734 =head2 add_record
736 Title : add_record
737 Usage : $index->add_record( $id, @stuff );
738 Function: Calls pack_record on @stuff, and adds the result
739 of pack_record to the index database under key $id.
740 If $id is a reference to an array, then a new entry
741 is added under a key corresponding to each element
742 of the array.
743 Example : $index->add_record( $id, $fileNumber, $begin, $end )
744 Returns : TRUE on success or FALSE on failure
745 Args : ID LIST
747 =cut
749 sub add_record {

760 =head2 pack_record
762 Title : pack_record
763 Usage : $packed_string = $index->pack_record( LIST )
764 Function: Packs an array of scalars into a single string
765 joined by ASCII 034 (which is unlikely to be used
766 in any of the strings), and returns it.
767 Example : $packed_string = $index->pack_record( $fileNumber, $begin, $end )
768 Returns : STRING or undef
769 Args : LIST
771 =cut
773 sub pack_record {
774 my( $self, @args ) = @_;
775 # Silence undefined warnings
776 @args = map {
777 $_ = (defined $_) ? $_ : '';

779 } @args;
780 return join "\034", @args;
783 =head2 unpack_record
785 Title : unpack_record
786 Usage : $index->unpack_record( STRING )
787 Function: Splits the sting provided into an array,
788 splitting on ASCII 034.
789 Example : ( $fileNumber, $begin, $end ) = $index->unpack_record( $self->db->{$id} )
790 Returns : A 3 element ARRAY
791 Args : STRING containing ASCII 034
793 =cut
795 sub unpack_record {
796 my( $self, @args ) = @_;
797 return split /\034/, $args[0];
800 =head2 count_records
802 Title : count_records
803 Usage : $recs = $seqdb->count_records()
804 Function: return count of all recs in the index
805 Example :
806 Returns : a scalar
807 Args : none
810 =cut
812 sub count_records {
813 my ($self,@args) = @_;
814 my $db = $self->db;

827 =head2 DESTROY
829 Title : DESTROY
830 Usage : Called automatically when index goes out of scope
831 Function: Closes connection to database and handles to
832 sequence files
833 Returns : NEVER
834 Args : NONE
837 =cut
839 sub DESTROY {
840 my $self = shift;
