=head1 NAME

IO::InnerFile - define a file inside another file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use strict;
    use warnings;
    use IO::InnerFile;

# Read a subset of a file:
    my $fh = _some_file_handle;
    my $start = 10;
    my $length = 50;
    my $inner = IO::InnerFile->new($fh, $start, $length);
    while (my $line = <$inner>) {
        # ...
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

If you have a file handle that can C<seek> and C<tell>, then you
can open an L<IO::InnerFile> on a range of the underlying file.

=head1 CONSTRUCTORS

L<IO::InnerFile> implements the following constructors.

=head2 new

my $inner = IO::InnerFile->new($fh);
    $inner = IO::InnerFile->new($fh, 10);
    $inner = IO::InnerFile->new($fh, 10, 50);

Create a new L<IO::InnerFile> opened on the given file handle.
The file handle supplied B<MUST> be able to both C<seek> and C<tell>.

The second and third parameters are start and length. Both are defaulted
to zero (C<0>). Negative values are silently coerced to zero.

=head1 METHODS

L<IO::InnerFile> implements the following methods.

=head2 add_length

$inner->add_length(30);

Add to the virtual length of the inner file by the number given in bytes.

=head2 add_start

$inner->add_start(30);

Add to the virtual position of the inner file by the number given in bytes.

=head2 binmode

$inner->binmode();

This is a NOOP method just to satisfy the normal L<IO::File> interface.

=head2 close

=head2 fileno

$inner->fileno();

This is a NOOP method just to satisfy the normal L<IO::File> interface.

=head2 flush

$inner->flush();

This is a NOOP method just to satisfy the normal L<IO::File> interface.

=head2 get_end

my $num_bytes = $inner->get_end();

Get the virtual end position of the inner file in bytes.

=head2 get_length

my $num_bytes = $inner->get_length();

Get the virtual length of the inner file in bytes.

=head2 get_start

my $num_bytes = $inner->get_start();

Get the virtual position of the inner file in bytes.

=head2 getc

=head2 getline

=head2 print LIST

=head2 printf

=head2 read

=head2 readline

=head2 seek

=head2 set_end

$inner->set_end(30);

Set the virtual end of the inner file in bytes (this basically just alters the length).

=head2 set_length

$inner->set_length(30);

Set the virtual length of the inner file in bytes.

=head2 set_start

$inner->set_start(30);

Set the virtual start position of the inner file in bytes.

=head2 tell

=head2 write
