Exacct::Object::Group(3PERL)Perl Library FunctionsExacct::Object::Group(3PERL)NAMEExacct::Object::Group - exacct group manipulation
SYNOPSIS
use Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object;
my $ea_grp = Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Group->new(
& EXT_GROUP | &EXC_DEFAULT | &EXD_GROUP_PROC);
DESCRIPTION
This module is used for manipulating libexacct(3LIB) Group objects. A
libexacct Group object is represented as an opaque reference blessed
into the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Group class, which is a subclass
of the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object class. The Items within a Group are
stored inside a Perl array. A reference to the array can be accessed
with the inherited value() method. The individual Items within a Group
can be manipulated with the normal Perl array syntax and operators. All
data elements of the array must be derived from the
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object class. Group objects can also be nested
inside each other simply by adding an existing Group as a data Item.
Constants
None.
Functions
None.
Class methods
Class methods include those inherited from the
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object base class, plus the following:
new($catalog, @objects) This method creates and returns a new
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Group. The
catalog tag can be either an integer or a
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog. The catalog
tag should be a valid catalog tag for a Perl
exacct Group object. The @objects parameter
is a list of Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object to
be stored inside the Group. A copy of all
the passed Items is taken and any Group
objects are recursively copied. The contents
of the returned Group object can be accessed
with the array returned by the value method.
Object methods
as_hash() This method returns the contents of the group as a
hash reference. It uses the string value of each
item's catalog ID as the hash entry key and the scalar
value returned by value() as the hash entry value.
This form should be used if there are no duplicate
catalog tags in the group.
This method and its companion as_hashlist() are the
fastest ways to access the contents of a Group.
as_hashlist() This method returns the contents of the group as a
hash reference. It uses the string value of each
item's catalog id as the hash entry key and an array
of the scalar values returned by value() as the hash
entry value for all the items that share a common key.
This form should be used if there might be duplicate
catalog tags in the group.
This method and its companion as_hash() are the
fastest ways to access the contents of a Group.
Exports
None.
