NAME¶
Dpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information
DESCRIPTION¶
The files in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/ can provide information about various
vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those files look like
this:
Vendor: Debian
Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/
Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the
relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:
Parent: Debian
The file should be named according to the vendor name.
FUNCTIONS¶
- $dir = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_dir()
- Returns the current dpkg origins directory name, where the vendor files
are stored.
- $fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)
- Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the
corresponding vendor file in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/. If $name is omitted,
it will use $Dpkg::CONFDIR/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.
- $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)
- Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.
- $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()
- Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it uses that
first, otherwise it falls back to parsing $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default.
If that file doesn't exist, it returns undef.
- $object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)
- Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor. If $name is
omitted, return the object of the current vendor. If no vendor can be
identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default object.
- Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
- Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
