NAME
Dpkg::Control::Info - parse files like debian/control
DESCRIPTION
It provides an object to access data of files that follow the same
syntax as
debian/control.
METHODS
- $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 debian/control.
If a scalar is passed instead, it will be used as the filename. If filename
is ``-'', it parses the standard input. If filename is undef no loading will
be performed.
- $c->reset()
-
Resets what got read.
- $c->load($file)
-
Load the content of $file. Exits in case of errors. If file is ``-'', it
loads from the standard input.
- $c->parse($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 is used in error messages.
The data in the object is reset before parsing new control files.
