IO::Unc...s::Base(3)

📦 version 2.220.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

Okay bestie, this is the manual page for IO::Unc...s::Base(3) — manual-name vibe folded in near the top, no boring copied header line, periodt. It comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection and it's here to explain the base-class situation. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

IO::Uncompress::Base — Base Class for IO::Uncompress modules. That's the name, that's the assignment, slay. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Literally just this, bestie:

use IO::Uncompress::Base ;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Real talk: this module is not intended for direct use in application code. Its sole purpose is to be sub-classed by IO::Uncompress modules. It's giving backstage main-character energy, not front-of-house app code, and honestly? Iconic. 💜
