.SH "NAME"
Dpkg::Control::Info \- parse files like debian/control
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
It provides an object to access data of files that follow the same
syntax as \fIdebian/control\fR.

.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR = Dpkg::Control::Info\->new(%opts)" 4
.IX Item "$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 \fIdebian/control\fR.
If a scalar is passed instead, it will be used as the filename. If filename
is \*(L"\-\*(R", it parses the standard input. If filename is undef no loading will
be performed.
.ie n .IP "$c\->\fIreset()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->\fIreset()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$c->reset()"
Resets what got read.
.ie n .IP "$c\->load($file)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->load($file)" 4
.IX Item "$c->load($file)"
Load the content of \f(CW$file\fR. Exits in case of errors. If file is \*(L"\-\*(R", it
loads from the standard input.
.ie n .IP "$c\->parse($fh, $description)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->parse($fh, \f(CW$description\fR)" 4
.IX Item "$c->parse($fh, $description)"
Parse a control file from the given filehandle. Exits in case of errors.
\&\f(CW$description\fR 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.

.PD
Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the
source package.

.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->get_pkg_by_idx($idx)" 4

Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the binary
package numbered \f(CW$idx\fR (starting at 1).
.ie n .IP "$c\->get_pkg_by_name($name)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->get_pkg_by_name($name)" 4

Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the binary
package named \f(CW$name\fR.
.ie n .IP "$c\->\fIget_packages()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->\fIget_packages()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$c->get_packages()"
Returns a list containing the Dpkg::Control objects for all binary packages.
.ie n .IP "$c\->output($filehandle)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$c\fR\->output($filehandle)" 4
.IX Item "$c->output($filehandle)"
Dump the content into a filehandle.
.ie n .IP """$c""" 4
.el .IP "``$c''" 4
.IX Item "$c"
Return a string representation of the content.
.IP "@{$c}" 4
.IX Item "@{$c}"
Return a list of Dpkg::Control objects, the first one is corresponding to
source information and the following ones are the binary packages
information.
