NAME

       Arch::Log - class representing Arch patch-log

SYNOPSIS

	   use Arch::Log;
	   my $log = Arch::Log->new($rfc2822_message_string);
	   printf "Patch log date: %s
", $log->header('standard_date');
	   print $log->dump;
	   my $first_new_file = $log->get_headers->{new_files}->[0];

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents the patch-log concept in Arch and provides some useful methods.

METHODS

       The following class methods are available:

       get_message, get_headers, header, get_changes, split_version, get_version, get_revision, get_revision_kind, get_revision_desc, dump.

       get_message
	   Return the original message with that the object was constructed.

       get_headers
	   Return the hashref of all headers including body, see also "header" method.

       header name
       header name [new_value]
	   Get or set the named header. The special name 'body' represents the message body (the text following the headers).

       body [new_value]
       existing_header_name [new_value]
	   This is just a shortcut for "header"('method'). However unlike "header"('method'), method fails instead of returning undef if the log
	   does not have the given header name.

       get_changes
	   Return a list of changes in the corresponding changeset.

	   ATTENTION! Patch logs do not distinguish metadata (ie permission) changes from ordinary content changes. Permission changes will be
	   represented with a change type of 'M'. This is different from Arch::Changeset::get_changes and Arch::Tree::get_changes.

       split_version
	   Return a list of 2 strings: full version and patch-level.

       get_version
	   Return the full version name, not unlike split_version.

       get_revision
	   Return the full revision name.  This is currently a concatination of headers Archive and Revision with '/' separator.

       get_revision_kind
	   Return one of the strings 'tag', 'import' or 'cset' depending on the revision kind this log represents.

       get_revision_desc
	   Return revision description hashref with the keys: name, version, summary, creator, email, date, kind.

       dump
	   Returns the object dump using Data::Dumper.
