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.

FUNCTIONS

       $c = Dpkg::Control::Info->new($file)
	   Create a new Dpkg::Control::Info object for $file. If $file is omitted, it loads debian/control. If file is "-", it parses the standard
	   input.

       $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's used in error messages.

       $c->[0]
       $c->get_source()
	   Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the source package.

       $c->get_pkg_by_idx($idx)
	   Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the binary package numbered $idx (starting at 1).

       $c->get_pkg_by_name($name)
	   Returns a Dpkg::Control object containing the fields concerning the binary package named $name.

       $c->get_packages()
	   Returns a list containing the Dpkg::Control objects for all binary packages.

       $c->output($filehandle)
	   Dump the content into a filehandle.

       "$c"
	   Return a string representation of the content.

       @{$c}
	   Return a list of Dpkg::Control objects, the first one is corresponding to source information and the following ones are the binary
	   packages information.

NAME

       Dpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information

DESCRIPTION

       The files in /etc/dpkg/origins/ can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those files look
       like this:

	 Vendor: Debian
	 Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/
	 Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org

       If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:

	 Parent: Debian

       The file should be named according to the vendor name.

FUNCTIONS

       $fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)
	   Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the corresponding vendor file in /etc/dpkg/origins/. If $name is
	   omitted, it will use /etc/dpkg/origins/default which is supposed to be a symlink to the vendor of the currently installed operating
	   system. Returns undef if there's no file for the given vendor.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)
	   Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()
	   Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it uses that first, otherwise it falls back to parsing
	   /etc/dpkg/origins/default.  If that file doesn't exist, it returns undef.

       $object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)
	   Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor.  If $name is omitted, return the object of the current vendor.  If no
	   vendor can be identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default object.

       Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
	   Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
