NAME¶
Dpkg::Conf - parse dpkg configuration files
DESCRIPTION¶
The Dpkg::Conf object can be used to read options from a configuration file. It
can exports an array that can then be parsed exactly like @ARGV.
FUNCTIONS¶
- my $conf = Dpkg::Conf->new(%opts)
- Create a new Dpkg::Conf object. Some options can be set
through %opts: if allow_short evaluates to true (it defaults to false),
then short options are allowed in the configuration file, they should be
prepended with a single dash.
- @$conf
- @options = $conf->get_options()
- Returns the list of options that can be parsed like
@ARGV.
- $conf->load($file)
- Read options from a file. Return the number of options
parsed.
- $conf->parse($fh)
- Parse options from a file handle. Return the number of
options parsed.
- $conf->filter(remove => $rmfunc)
- $conf->filter(keep => $keepfunc)
- Filter the list of options, either removing or keeping all
those that return true when &$rmfunc($option) or
&keepfunc($option) is called.
- $string = $conf->output($fh)
- Write the options in the given filehandle (if defined) and
return a string representation of the content (that would be)
written.
- "$conf"
- Return a string representation of the content.
- $conf->save($file)
- Save the options in a file.
