.SH "NAME"
Dpkg::Vendor \- get access to some vendor specific information
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The files in \f(CW$Dpkg::CONFDIR\fR/origins/ can provide information about various
vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those files look like
this:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  Vendor: Debian
\&  Vendor\-URL: https://www.debian.org/
\&  Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
.Ve
.PP
If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document
the relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  Parent: Debian
.Ve
.PP
The file should be named according to the vendor name.

.ie n .IP "$dir = \fIDpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_dir()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$dir\fR = \fIDpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_dir()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$dir = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_dir()"
Returns the current dpkg origins directory name, where the vendor files
are stored.
.ie n .IP "$fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$fields\fR = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)" 4
.IX Item "$fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)"
Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the
corresponding vendor file in \f(CW$Dpkg::CONFDIR\fR/origins/. If \f(CW$name\fR is omitted,
it will use \f(CW$Dpkg::CONFDIR\fR/origins/default which is supposed to be a symlink
to the vendor of the currently installed operating system. Returns undef
if there's no file for the given vendor.
.ie n .IP "$name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$name\fR = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)" 4
.IX Item "$name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)"
Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its
name.
.ie n .IP "$name = \fIDpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$name\fR = \fIDpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()"
Returns the name of the current vendor. If \s-1DEB_VENDOR\s0 is set, it uses
that first, otherwise it falls back to parsing \f(CW$Dpkg::CONFDIR\fR/origins/default.
If that file doesn't exist, it returns undef.
.ie n .IP "$object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$object\fR = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)" 4
.IX Item "$object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)"
Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor.
If \f(CW$name\fR is omitted, return the object of the current vendor.
If no vendor can be identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default
object.
.ie n .IP "Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)" 4
.el .IP "Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, \f(CW@params\fR)" 4
.IX Item "Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)"
Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
