+ =head1 OVERVIEW
- This module provides subroutines which interact with the
+ lonnet provides subroutines which interact with the
- lonc/lond (TCP) network layer of LON-CAPA. And Can be used to ask about
+ lonc/lond (TCP) network layer of LON-CAPA. They can be used to ask
- - classes
+ about classes, users, and resources.
- - users
- - resources
  For many of these objects you can also use this to store data about
  them or modify them in various ways.
- This is part of the LearningOnline Network with CAPA project
+ =head2 Symbs
- described at http://www.lon-capa.org.
- =head1 RETURN MESSAGES
+ To identify a specific instance of a resource, LON-CAPA uses symbols
+ or "symbs"X<symb>. These identifiers are built from the URL of the
+ map, the resource number of the resource in the map, and the URL of
+ the resource itself. The latter is somewhat redundant, but might help
+ if maps change.
- =over 4
+ An example is
- =item *
+  msu/korte/parts/part1.sequence___19___msu/korte/tests/part12.problem
- con_lost : unable to contact remote host
+ The respective map entry is
- =item *
+  <resource id="19" src="/res/msu/korte/tests/part12.problem"
+   title="Problem 2">
+  </resource>
- con_delayed : unable to contact remote host, message will be delivered
+ Symbs are used by the random number generator, as well as to store and
- when the connection is brought back up
+ restore data specific to a certain instance of for example a problem.
- =item *
+ =head2 Storing And Retrieving Data
- con_failed : unable to contact remote host and unable to save message
+ X<store()>X<cstore()>X<restore()>Three of the most important functions
- for later delivery
+ in C<lonnet.pm> are C<&Apache::lonnet::cstore()>,
+ C<&Apache::lonnet:restore()>, and C<&Apache::lonnet::store()>, which
+ is is the non-critical message twin of cstore. These functions are for
+ handlers to store a perl hash to a user's permanent data space in an
+ easy manner, and to retrieve it again on another call. It is expected
+ that a handler would use this once at the beginning to retrieve data,
+ and then again once at the end to send only the new data back.
- =item *
+ The data is stored in the user's data directory on the user's
+ homeserver under the ID of the course.
- error: : an error a occured, a description of the error follows the :
+ The hash that is returned by restore will have all of the previous
+ value for all of the elements of the hash.
- =item *
+ Example:
+  #creating a hash
+  my %hash;
+  $hash{'foo'}='bar';
+  #storing it
+  &Apache::lonnet::cstore(\%hash);
+  #changing a value
+  $hash{'foo'}='notbar';
+  #adding a new value
+  $hash{'bar'}='foo';
+  &Apache::lonnet::cstore(\%hash);
+  #retrieving the hash
+  my %history=&Apache::lonnet::restore();
+  #print the hash
+  foreach my $key (sort(keys(%history))) {
+    print("\%history{$key} = $history{$key}");
+  }
+ Will print out:
+  %history{1:foo} = bar
+  %history{1:keys} = foo:timestamp
+  %history{1:timestamp} = 990455579
+  %history{2:bar} = foo
+  %history{2:foo} = notbar
+  %history{2:keys} = foo:bar:timestamp
+  %history{2:timestamp} = 990455580
+  %history{bar} = foo
+  %history{foo} = notbar
+  %history{timestamp} = 990455580
+  %history{version} = 2
+ Note that the special hash entries C<keys>, C<version> and
+ C<timestamp> were added to the hash. C<version> will be equal to the
+ total number of versions of the data that have been stored. The
+ C<timestamp> attribute will be the UNIX time the hash was
+ stored. C<keys> is available in every historical section to list which
+ keys were added or changed at a specific historical revision of a
+ hash.
- no_such_host : unable to fund a host associated with the user/domain
+ B<Warning>: do not store the hash that restore returns directly. This
+ will cause a mess since it will restore the historical keys as if the
+ were new keys. I.E. 1:foo will become 1:1:foo etc.
+ Calling convention:
+  my %record=&Apache::lonnet::restore($symb,$courseid,$domain,$uname,$home);
+  &Apache::lonnet::cstore(\%newrecord,$symb,$courseid,$domain,$uname,$home);
+ For more detailed information, see lonnet specific documentation.
