It reads and interprets the files (usually '~/.Xauthority') that hold authorization data used in connecting to X servers. Since it was written mainly for the use of X11::Protocol, its functionality is currently restricted to reading, not writing, of these files. =head1 METHODS =head2 new $auth = X11::Auth->new; $auth = X11::Auth->open($filename); Open an authority file, and create an object to handle it. The filename will be taken from the XAUTHORITY environment variable, if present, or '.Xauthority' in the user's home directory, or it may be overridden by an argument. 'open' may be used as a synonym. =head2 get_one ($family, $host_addr, $display_num, $auth_name, $auth_data) = $auth->get_one; Read one entry from the file. Returns a null list at end of file. $family is usually 'Internet' or 'Local', and $display_num can be any string. =head2 get_all @auth_data = $auth->get_all; Read all of the entries in the file. Each member of the array returned is an array ref similar to the list returned by get_one(). =head2 get_by_host ($auth_name, $auth_data) = $auth->get_by_host($host, $family, $display_num); Get authentication data for a connection of type $family to display $display_num on $host. If $family is 'Internet', the host will be translated into an appropriate address by gethostbyname(). =head1 COMPATIBILITY The following table shows the (rough) correspondence between libXau calls and X11::Auth methods: libXau X11::Auth ------ --------- XauFileName $ENV{XAUTHORITY} || "$ENV{HOME}/.Xauthority" fopen(XauFileName(), "rb") $auth = new X11::Auth XauReadAuth $auth->get_one XauWriteAuth XauGetAuthByAddr $auth->get_by_host XauGetBestAuthByAddr XauLockAuth XauUnlockAuth XauDisposeAuth =head1 AUTHOR Stephen McCamant =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, lib/Xau/README in the X11 source distribution. =cut
