NAME

IO::Async::Buffer - backward-compatibility wrapper around IO::Async::Stream

SYNOPSIS

This class should not be used in new code, and is provided for backward compatibility for older applications that still use it. It has been renamed to IO::Async::Stream. Any application using this class should simply change

 use IO::Async::Buffer;

 my $buffer = IO::Async::Buffer->new( .... );

into

 use IO::Async::Stream;

 my $stream = IO::Async::Stream->new( .... );

The behaviour has not otherwise changed.

CONSTRUCTOR

$buffer = IO::Async::Buffer->new( %params )

This function wraps a call to IO::Async::Stream->new(). It will translate the following deprecated options as well:

on_incoming_data => CODE

This option is deprecated and should not be used in new code. It is maintained as a backward-compatibility synonym for on_read.

DEPRECATED METHODS

This class also provides wrappers for methods that have been renamed between IO::Async::Buffer and IO::Async::Stream.

$buffer->send( $data )

A synonym for write().
