Dpkg::Control::Info - parse files like debian/control
It provides a class to access data of files that follow the same
syntax as debian/control.
- $c = Dpkg::Control::Info->new(%opts)
- Create a new Dpkg::Control::Info object. Loads the file from the filename
option, if no option is specified filename defaults to
debian/control. If a scalar is passed instead, it will be used as
the filename. If filename is "-", it parses the standard input.
If filename is undef no loading will be performed.
- $c->reset()
- Resets what got read.
- $c->parse($fh, $description)
- Parse a control file from the given filehandle. Exits in case of errors.
$description is used to describe the filehandle,
ideally it's a filename or a description of where the data comes from. It
is used in error messages. The data in the object is reset before parsing
new control files.
- $c->load($file)
- Load the content of $file. Exits in case of
errors. If file is "-", it loads from the standard input.
- $c->[0]
- $c->get_source()
- Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the source
package.
- $c->get_pkg_by_idx($idx)
- Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the binary
package numbered $idx (starting at 1).
- $c->get_pkg_by_name($name)
- Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the binary
package named $name.
- $c->get_packages()
- Returns a list containing the Dpkg::Control objects for all binary
packages.
- $str = $c->output([$fh])
- Return the content info into a string. If $fh is
specified print it into the filehandle.
- "$c"
- Return a string representation of the content.
- @{$c}
- Return a list of Dpkg::Control objects, the first one is corresponding to
