Description
File::RsyncP is a perl implementation of an Rsync client. It is compatible with Rsync 2.5.5 - 2.6.3 (protocol versions 26-28). It can send or receive files, either by running rsync on the remote machine, or connecting to an rsyncd deamon on the remote machine. What use is File::RsyncP? The main purpose is that File::RsyncP separates all file system I/O into a separate module, which can be replaced by any module of your own design. This allows rsync interfaces to non-filesystem data types (eg: databases) to be developed with relative ease. File::RsyncP was initially written to provide an Rsync interface for BackupPC, http://backuppc.sourceforge.net. See BackupPC for programming examples. File::RsyncP does not yet provide a command-line interface that mimics native Rsync. Instead it provides an API that makes it possible to write simple scripts that talk to rsync or rsyncd. The File::RsyncP::FileIO module contains the default file system access functions. File::RsyncP::FileIO may be subclassed or replaced by a custom module to provide access to non-filesystem data types. |
