xmltv::validategrabber

ValidateGrabber(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      ValidateGrabber(3pm)

NAME

       XMLTV::ValidateGrabber - Validates an XMLTV grabber

DESCRIPTION

       Utility library that validates that a grabber properly implements the capabilities described at

       http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities

       The ValidateGrabber call first asks the grabber which capabilities it claims to support and then validates that it actually does support
       these capabilities.

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

       All these functions are exported on demand.

       ConfigureGrabber
	       ConfigureGrabber( "./tv_grab_new", "./tv_grab_new.conf" )

       ValidateGrabber
	   Run the validation for a grabber.

	       ValidateGrabber( "tv_grab_new", "./tv_grab_new", "./tv_grab_new.conf",
				"/tmp/new_", "./blib/share", 0 )

	   ValidateGrabber takes the following parameters:

	   o   a short name for the grabber. This is only used when printing error messages.

	   o   the command to run the grabber.

	   o   the name of a configuration-file for the grabber.

	   o   a file-prefix that is added to all output-files.

	   o   a path to a directory with metadata for the grabber. This path is passed to the grabber via the --share option if the grabber
	       supports the capability 'share'. undef if no --share parameter shall be used.

	   o   a boolean specifying if the --cache parameter shall be used for grabbers that support the 'cache' capability.

	   ValidateGrabber returns a list of errors that it found with the grabber. Each error takes the form of a keyword:

	   noparamcheck
	       The grabber accepts any parameter without returning an error-code.

	   noversion
	       The grabber returns an error when run with --version.

	   nodescription
	       The grabber returns an error when run with --description.

	   nocapabilities
	       The grabber returns an error when run with --capabilities.

	   nobaseline
	       The grabber does not list 'baseline' as one of its supported capabilities.

	   nomanualconfig
	       The grabber does not list 'manualconfig' as one of its supported capabilities.

	   noconfigurationfile
	       The specified configuration-file does not exist.

	   graberror
	       The grabber returned with an error-code when asked to grab data.

	   notquiet
	       The grabber printed something to STDERR even though the --quiet option was used.

	   outputdiffers
	       The grabber produced different output when called with different combinations of --output and --quiet.

	   caterror
	       tv_cat returned an error-code when we asked it to process the output from the grabber.

	   sorterror
	       tv_sort found errors in the data generated by the grabber. Probably overlapping programmes.

	   notadditive
	       grabbing data for tomorrow first and then for the day after tomorrow and concatenating them does not yield the same result as
	       grabbing the data for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at once.

	   Additionally, the list of errors will contain error keywords from XMLTV::ValidateFile if the xmltv-file generated by the grabber was
	   not valid.

	   If no errors are found, an empty list is returned.
