Net::GPSD3(3) Interface to the gpsd server daemon protocol versions 3 (JSON).

SYNOPSIS

Watch Interface

  use Net::GPSD3;
  my $gpsd=Net::GPSD3->new;
  $gpsd->watch;

One Liner 

  perl -MNet::GPSD3 -e 'Net::GPSD3->new->watch'

Poll Interface

  use Net::GPSD3;
  use Data::Dumper qw{Dumper};
  my $gpsd=Net::GPSD3->new;
  my $poll=$gpsd->poll;
  print Dumper($poll);

One Liner 

  perl -MNet::GPSD3 -e 'printf "Protocol: %s\n", Net::GPSD3->new->poll->parent->cache->VERSION->protocol;'
  Protocol: 3.4

POE Interface

See Net::GPSD3::POE

DESCRIPTION

Net::GPSD3 provides an object client interface to the gpsd server daemon utilizing the version 3 protocol. gpsd is an open source GPS daemon from http://www.catb.org/gpsd/ Support for Version 3 of the protocol (JSON) was added to the daemon in version 2.90. If your daemon is before 2.90 (protocol 2.X), please use the Net::GPSD package.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Returns a new Net::GPSD3 object. 

  my $gpsd=Net::GPSD3->new;
  my $gpsd=Net::GPSD3->new(host=>"127.0.0.1", port=>2947); #defaults

METHODS

host

Sets or returns the current gpsd host. 

 my $host=$obj->host;

port

Sets or returns the current gpsd TCP port. 

 my $port=$obj->port;

poll

Sends a Poll request to the gpsd server and returns a Net::GPSD3::Return::POLL object. The method also populates the cache object with the Net::GPSD3::Return::VERISON and Net::GPSD3::Return::DEVICES objects. 

  my $poll=$gpsd->poll; #isa Net::GPSD3::Return::POLL object

Note: In order to use the poll method consistently you should run the GPSD daemon as a service. You may also need to run the daemon with the ``-n'' option.

watch

Calls all handlers that are registered in the handler method. 

  $gpsd->watch;  #will not return unless something goes wrong.

addHandler

Adds handlers to the handler list. 

  $gpsd->addHandler(\&myHandler);
  $gpsd->addHandler(\&myHandler1, \&myHandler2);

A handler is a sub reference where the first argument is a Net::GPSD3::Return::* object.

handlers

List of handlers that are called in order to process objects from the gpsd wathcer stream. 

  my @handler=$gpsd->handlers; #()
  my $handler=$gpsd->handlers; #[]

cache

Returns the Net::GPSD3::Cache caching object.

METHODS Internal

default_handler

socket

Returns the cached IO::Socket::INET6 object 

  my $socket=$gpsd->socket;  #try to reconnect on failure

json

Returns the cached JSON::XS object

decode

Returns a perl data structure given a JSON formated string. 

  my %data=$gpsd->decode($string); #()
  my $data=$gpsd->decode($string); #{}

encode

Returns a JSON string from a perl data structure

constructor

Constructs a class object by lazy loading the classes. 

  my $obj=$gpsd->constructor(%$data);
  my $obj=$gpsd->constructor(class=>"DEVICE",
                             string=>'{...}',
                             ...);

Returns and object in the Net::GPSD3::Return::* namespace.

BUGS

Log on RT and Send to gpsd-dev email list

There are no two GPS devices that are alike. Each GPS device has a different GPSD signature as well. If your GPS device does not work out of the box with this package, please send me a log of your devices JSON sentences. 

  echo '?POLL;' | nc 127.0.0.1 2947
  echo '?WATCH={"enable":true,"json":true};' | socat -t10 stdin stdout | nc 127.0.0.1 2947
