=head1 NAME

IO::AtomicFile - write a file which is updated atomically

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use strict;
    use warnings;
    use feature 'say';
    use IO::AtomicFile;

# Write a temp file, and have it install itself when closed:
    my $fh = IO::AtomicFile->open("bar.dat", "w");
    $fh->say("Hello!");
    $fh->close || die "couldn't install atomic file: $!";

# Write a temp file, but delete it before it gets installed:
    my $fh = IO::AtomicFile->open("bar.dat", "w");
    $fh->say("Hello!");
    $fh->delete;

# Write a temp file, but neither install it nor delete it:
    my $fh = IO::AtomicFile->open("bar.dat", "w");
    $fh->say("Hello!");
    $fh->detach;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is intended for people who need to update files
reliably in the face of unexpected program termination.

For example, you generally don't want to be halfway in the middle of
writing I</etc/passwd> and have your program terminate!  Even
the act of writing a single scalar to a filehandle is I<not> atomic.

But this module gives you true atomic updates, via C<rename>.
When you open a file I</foo/bar.dat> via this module, you are I<actually>
opening a temporary file I</foo/bar.dat..TMP>, and writing your
output there. The act of closing this file (either explicitly
via C<close>, or implicitly via the destruction of the object)
will cause C<rename> to be called... therefore, from the point
of view of the outside world, the file's contents are updated
in a single time quantum.

To ensure that problems do not go undetected, the C<close> method
done by the destructor will raise a fatal exception if the C<rename>
fails.  The explicit C<close> just returns C<undef>.

You can also decide at any point to trash the file you've been
building.

=head1 METHODS

L<IO::AtomicFile> inherits all methods from L<IO::File> and
implements the following new ones.

=head2 close

$fh->close();

This method calls its parent L<IO::File/"close"> and then renames its temporary file
as the original file name.

=head2 delete

$fh->delete();

This method calls its parent L<IO::File/"close"> and then deletes the temporary file.

=head2 detach

$fh->detach();

This method calls its parent L<IO::File/"close">. Unlike L<IO::AtomicFile/"delete"> it
does not then delete the temporary file.
