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.
METHODS
- $conf = Dpkg::Conf->new(%opts)
-
Create a new Dpkg::Conf object. Some options can be set through %opts:
if allow_short evaluates to true (it defaults to false), then short
options are allowed in the configuration file, they should be prepended
with a single hyphen.
- @$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)
-

- $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)
