HTTP::Soup::Buffer(3)

💖 NAME 💖

HTTP::Soup::Buffer — bestie, it's a little boxed buffer object from the HTTP::Soup world, and she's here to hold your bytes 💅

---

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

okay so the family tree is giving noble lineage, she inherits from Glib::Boxed:

  Glib::Boxed
  +----HTTP::Soup::Buffer

so yeah, she's a Glib::Boxed girlie first, and everything else trickles down from there 🎀

---

✨ METHODS ✨

🦋 buffer = HTTP::Soup::Buffer->new ($use, $sv_data)

bestie you're literally constructing a brand new buffer, main character energy fr fr. She takes two args:

• $use (integer) — an integer, that's the vibe 🌈
• $sv_data (scalar) — a scalar, no cap 💫

---

🎀 scalar = $buffer->data ($val=undef)

pull the data out of her, or hand her some new data, either way she's serving scalar ✨

• $val (string) — a string, optional, and the default is undef 🫶

---

👑 unsigned = $buffer->length ($val=0)

the length check!! she will tell you how long she is, and you can also set it — very unsigned of her 💜

• $val (unsigned) — an unsigned value, and if you don't pass one she just defaults to 0 😌

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

run, don't walk, to these two — they're the besties she rolls with:

• HTTP::Soup
• Glib::Boxed
