DESCRIPTION

       Lintian::SlidingWindow provides a way of matching some pattern, including multi line pattern, without
       needing to fully load the file in memory.

CLASS METHODS

       new(HANDLE[, BLOCKSUB[, BLOCKSIZE]])
           Create  a  new  sliding  window  by  reading  from  a  given  HANDLE, which must be open for reading.
           Optionally run BLOCKSUB against each block. Note that BLOCKSUB should apply transform  byte  by  byte
           and does not depend of context.

           Each window consists of up to two blocks of BLOCKSIZE characters.

INSTANCE METHODS

       readwindow
           Return a new block of sliding window. Return undef at end of file.

       "blocksize"
       blocknumber
