IO::Compress::Base(3)

📦 version 2.220.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to IO::Compress::Base(3) — yup, that's the page, and it lives under User Contributed Perl Documentation. Its whole name vibe is:

Base Class for IO::Compress modules ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

The entire synopsis is literally this, no cap:

use IO::Compress::Base ;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this module is not intended for direct use in application code. Its sole purpose is to be sub-classed by IO::Compress modules. That's it — it's the base-class bestie holding it down for the other modules, and it is not here for direct app-code drama. 💅
