Mac::AETE::Parser - parses Macintosh AETE and AEUT resources.
SYNOPSIS
use Mac::AETE::Parser;
use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;
$aete = Parser->new($aete_handle, $name);
$formatter = Dictionary->new;
$aete->set_format($formatter);
$aete->read;
$aete->write;
DESCRIPTION
The Parser module serves as a base class for the Mac::AETE::App and Mac::AETE::Dialect modules.
Methods
new Example: ($aete_handle is a handle containing a valid AETE resource. $name is the name of the application.)
use Mac::AETE::Parser;
use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;
$aete = Parser->new($aete_handle, $name);
read Reads the data contained in the AETE resource or handle. Example:
$aete->read;
set_format
Sets the output formatter used during by the 'write' subroutine. Example:
$formatter = Dictionary->new;
$aete->set_format($formatter);
copy Copies all suites from one Parser object into another. Example:
$aete2 = Parser->new($aete_handle2, $another_name);
$aete->copy($aete2);
copies the suites from $aete2 into $aete.
merge Merges suites from one Parser object into another. Only the suites that exist in both objects will be replaced. Example:
$aete3 = Parser->new($aete_handle2, $another_name);
$aete->merge($aete3);
write Prints the contents of the AETE or AEUT resource using the current formatter.
$aete->write;
INHERITANCE
Parser does not inherit from any other modules.
