=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls - Return value of flagged function ignored.

=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This performs identically to InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen/Close
except that this is configurable to apply to any function, whether
core or user-defined.

If your module uses L<Fatal|Fatal>,
L<Fatal::Exception|Fatal::Exception>, or L<autodie|autodie> then any functions
wrapped by those modules will not trigger this policy.  For example:

    use Fatal qw(open);
    open my $fh, $filename;  # no violation
    close $fh;               # yes violation

    use autodie;
    open $filehandle, $mode, $filename;   # no violation

Currently, L<autodie|autodie> is not properly treated as a pragma; its
lexical effects aren't taken into account.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This policy watches for a configurable list of function names.  By
default, it applies to C<open>, C<print>, C<say> and C<close>.  You can
override this to set it to a different list of functions with the
C<functions> and C<exclude_functions> settings.  To do this, put
entries in a F<.perlcriticrc> file like this:

    [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
    functions = open opendir read readline readdir close closedir

We have defined a few shortcuts for creating this list

    [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
    functions = :defaults opendir readdir closedir

    [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
    functions = :builtins

    [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
    functions = :all

The C<:builtins> shortcut above represents all of the builtin
functions that have error conditions (about 65 of them, many of them
rather obscure).

You can require checking all builtins except C<print> by combining
the C<functions> and C<exclude_functions>:

    [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
    functions = :builtins
    exclude_functions = print

This is a lot easier to read than the alternative.

The C<:all> is the insane case: you must check the return value of
EVERY function call, even C<return> and C<exit>.  Yes, this "feature"
is overkill and is wasting CPU cycles on your computer by just
existing.  Nyah nyah.  I shouldn't code after midnight.

If you create a module that exports C<autodie> you can tell this policy about
it with the C<autodie_modules> setting:

    [InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls]
    autodie_modules = My::Thing

=head1 CREDITS

Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the
Perl Foundation.

This policy module is based heavily on policies written by Andrew
Moore <[e-mail]>.
