🌸 METHODS 🌸

• $io = Net::FTPServer::DBeg1::IOBlob ('r', $dbh, $blob_id);
• $io = Net::FTPServer::DBeg1::IOBlob ('w', $dbh, $blob_id);

Create an IO handle for reading or writing a PostgreSQL blob. the 'r' is giving read mode, the 'w' is giving write mode, and you hand it your $dbh plus the $blob_id — periodt 👑

• $io->getc ();

Read 1 byte from the buffer and return it. one (1) singular byte. no more, no less 🍓

• $io->read ($buffer, $nbytes, [$offset]);
• $io->sysread ($buffer, $nbytes, [$offset]);

Read $nbytes from the handle and place them in $buffer at offset $offset. yes the $offset is optional, she's flexible like that 💅

• $io->write ($buffer, $nbytes, [$offset]);
• $io->syswrite ($buffer, $nbytes, [$offset]);

Write $nbytes to the handle from $buffer offset $offset. same deal, $offset optional ✨
