=head1 NAME

Hash::Util - A selection of general-utility hash subroutines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Hash::Util qw(lock_keys   unlock_keys 
                    lock_value  unlock_value
                    lock_hash   unlock_hash);

  %hash = (foo => 42, bar => 23);
  lock_keys(%hash);
  lock_keys(%hash, @keyset);
  unlock_keys(%hash);

  lock_value  (%hash, 'foo');
  unlock_value(%hash, 'foo');

  lock_hash  (%hash);
  unlock_hash(%hash);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Hash::Util> contains special functions for manipulating hashes that
don't really warrant a keyword.

By default C<Hash::Util> does not export anything.

=head2 Restricted hashes

5.8.0 introduces the ability to restrict a hash to a certain set of
keys.  No keys outside of this set can be added.  It also introduces
the ability to lock an individual key so it cannot be deleted and the
value cannot be changed.

This is intended to largely replace the deprecated pseudo-hashes.

=item lock_keys

=item unlock_keys

  lock_keys(%hash);
  lock_keys(%hash, @keys);

Restricts the given %hash's set of keys to @keys.  If @keys is not
given it restricts it to its current keyset.  No more keys can be
added.  delete() and exists() will still work, but it does not effect
the set of allowed keys.

  unlock_keys(%hash;)

Removes the restriction on the %hash's keyset.

=item lock_value

=item unlock_value

  lock_key  (%hash, $key);
  unlock_key(%hash, $key);

Locks and unlocks an individual key of a hash.  The value of a locked
key cannot be changed.

%hash must have already been locked for this to have useful effect.

=cut

sub lock_value (\%$) {
    my($hash, $key) = @_;
    carp "Cannot usefully lock values in an unlocked hash" 
      unless Internals::SvREADONLY %$hash;
    Internals::SvREADONLY $hash->{$key}, 1;

    Internals::SvREADONLY $hash->{$key}, 0;
}


=item B<lock_hash>

=item B<unlock_hash>

    lock_hash(%hash);

lock_hash() locks an entire hash, making all keys and values readonly.
No value can be changed, no keys can be added or deleted.

    unlock_hash(%hash);

unlock_hash() does the opposite of lock_hash().  All keys and values
are made read/write.  All values can be changed and keys can be added
and deleted.

=cut

sub lock_hash (\%) {
    my($hash) = shift;

    lock_keys(%$hash);

    foreach my $key (keys %$hash) {
        lock_value(%$hash, $key);
    }

    return 1;
}

sub unlock_hash (\%) {
    my($hash) = shift;

    foreach my $key (keys %$hash) {
        unlock_value(%$hash, $key);
    }

    unlock_keys(%$hash);

    return 1;
}
