NAME
Dpkg::Control::HashCore - parse and manipulate a block of RFC822-like fields
DESCRIPTION
The Dpkg::Control::Hash class is a hash-like representation of a set of RFC822-like
fields. The fields names are case insensitive and are always capitalized the same when
output (see field_capitalize function in Dpkg::Control::Fields). The order in which
fields have been set is remembered and is used to be able to dump back the same content.
The output order can also be overridden if needed.
You can store arbitrary values in the hash, they will always be properly escaped in the
output to conform to the syntax of control files. This is relevant mainly for multilines
values: while the first line is always output unchanged directly after the field name,
supplementary lines are modified. Empty lines and lines containing only dots are prefixed
with " ." (space + dot) while other lines are prefixed with a single space.
During parsing, trailing spaces are stripped on all lines while leading spaces are
stripped only on the first line of each field.
METHODS
$c = Dpkg::Control::Hash->new(%opts)
Creates a new object with the indicated options. Supported options are:
allow_pgp
Configures the parser to accept OpenPGP signatures around the control
information. Value can be 0 (default) or 1.
allow_duplicate
Configures the parser to allow duplicate fields in the control information.
The last value overrides any previous values. Value can be 0 (default) or 1.
keep_duplicate
Configure the parser to keep values for duplicate fields found in the control
information (when allow_duplicate is enabled), as array references. Value can
be 0 (default) or 1.
drop_empty
Defines if empty fields are dropped during the output. Value can be 0
(default) or 1.
name The user friendly name of the information stored in the object. It might be
used in some error messages or warnings. A default name might be set depending
on the type.
is_pgp_signed
Set by the parser (starting in dpkg 1.17.0) if it finds an OpenPGP signature
around the control information. Value can be 0 (default) or 1, and undef when
the option is not supported by the code (in versions older than dpkg 1.17.0).
$c->set_options($option, %opts)
Changes the value of one or more options.
$value = $c->get_option($option)
Returns the value of the corresponding option.
$c->parse_error($file, $fmt, ...)
Prints an error message and dies on syntax parse errors.
$c->parse($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's used in error messages. When called multiple times, the
parsed fields are accumulated.
Returns true if some fields have been parsed.
$c->load($file)
Parse the content of $file. Exits in case of errors. Returns true if some fields have
been parsed.
$c->find_custom_field($name)
Scan the fields and look for a user specific field whose name matches the following
regex: /X[SBC]*-$name/i. Return the name of the field found or undef if nothing has
been found.
$c->get_custom_field($name)
Identify a user field and retrieve its value.
$str = $c->output()
"$c"
Get a string representation of the control information. The fields are sorted in the
order in which they have been read or set except if the order has been overridden with
set_output_order().
$c->output($fh)
Print the string representation of the control information to a filehandle.
$c->save($filename)
Write the string representation of the control information to a file.
$c->set_output_order(@fields)
Define the order in which fields will be displayed in the output() method.
$c->apply_substvars($substvars)
Update all fields by replacing the variables references with the corresponding value
stored in the Dpkg::Substvars object.
