package P4::Map;

=head1 NAME
P4::Map
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use P4;
$map = new P4::Map;
$map->Insert( "//depot/...", "//workspace/depot/..." );
$map->Insert( "//gizmo/...", "//workspace/gizmo/..." );
...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The P4::Map class allows you to construct and manipulate Perforce
mappings in the same way that the Perforce Server does. It requires
no connection to the server in order to work with mappings.
=head1 CLASS METHODS
=over
=item new( [ $arrayref ] )
Constructs a new P4::Map object. If passed an array reference,
the mappings in the array (one mapping per entry) are loaded
into the Map object.
=item Join( $map1, $map2 )
Join two maps together returning a new map containing the
left-hand-side of $map1 joined to the right-hand-side of
$map2.
=back
=head1 INSTANCE METHODS
=over
=item Insert( $string [, $string ] )
Inserts a mapping into the Map. If passed a single argument,
it is assumed to contain both the left-hand, and right-hand
sides of the mapping. If passed two arguments, the first is
the left-hand-side, the second the right-hand-side.
Note that, in the one-argument form, mappings with embedded
spaces must be quoted; in the two-argument form, quotes
are optional.
=item Count()
Returns the number of entries in the Map. Note that there
may be more entries than you inserted due to the way that
ambiguous mappings are resolved internally.
=item Clear()
Empties the Map object of all mappings.
=item IsEmpty()
Returns non-zero if the Map object contains no mappings.
=item Includes( $string )
Returns non-zero if the specified string is visible through
either side of the mapping.
=item Reverse()
Reverses the mapping: swapping the left-hand-side with
the right-hand-side and vice-versa.
=item Translate( $string [, $fwd=1 ] )
Translates the supplied string through the mappings and
returns the result. The optional second parameter specifies
the direction of translation: forward=1, reverse=0; the
default is to translate in the forward direction.
=item Lhs()
Return an array containing the left-hand-side of the mapping
only.
=item Rhs()
Return an array containing the right-hand-side of the mapping
only.
=item AsArray()
Return the mapping as an array of strings: one mapping per
entry in the array.
