UPDATE-PERL-SAX-PARSERS(8)                     Debian                     UPDATE-PERL-SAX-PARSERS(8)

NAME
       update-perl-sax-parsers - (de)register Perl SAX parser modules

SYNOPSIS
       update-perl-sax-parsers [options] --add parser_module

       update-perl-sax-parsers [options] --remove parser_module

       update-perl-sax-parsers [options] --update

DESCRIPTION
       update-perl-sax-parsers  inserts,  updates and removes individual Perl SAX parser module info
       files in the directory /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDetails.d  and  the  overall  Perl  SAX
       parser modules info file /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini.

OPTIONS
       --add  Adds  the  per-module info file for the indicated Perl SAX parser module to the direc‐
              tory /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDetails.d.

       --remove
              Removes the per-module info file  for  Perl  SAX  parser  module  from  the  directory
              /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDetails.d.

       --update
              updates  the  overall  Perl  SAX  parser modules info file /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDe‐
              tails.ini.  The modules will be listed in an order  of  ascending  priority.  See  the
              PARSER PRIORITIES section below.

              The  file will be managed with ucf(1) , unless the --file option is used. See also the
              --ucf option below.

       --directory
              When used with --add or with --remove indicates the ParserDetails.d directory  to  use
              for  storing  the  per-module Perl SAX parser module info file.  When used one or more
              times with --update indicates the ParserDetails.d directories to be used as source for
              generating the ParserDetails.ini file.  Default is  /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDe‐
              tails.d.

       --file Indicates    the    ParserDetails.ini    file    up    be    updated.     Default   is
              /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini.

       --priority XX
              Specifies the priority of the SAX parser module to be  added  removed.   The  priority
              will  be  encoded to the filename of the ParserDetails.d entry. See the PARSER PRIORI‐
              TIES section below.

              This option was added in version 0.3 of update-perl-sax-parsers .  Use the  value  "0"
              to disable the encoding and match the behaviour of earlier versions of the script.

              The  default priority value is 50, unless --directory was specified, in which case the
              default is 0 (disabled.)

       --ucf X
              Forcibly enable (X != 0) or disable (X = 0) of ucf(1) .  By default,  ucf(1)  will  be
              used to manage the ParserDetails.ini file when --file is not specified.

       --quiet
              Prevents any diagnostic output.

       --test Prevents the modification of any files and enables debugging mode.

       --version
              Displays the version information and exits.

       --help Display the usage information and exits.

PARSER PRIORITIES
       Starting  with  version  0.3 of update-perl-sax-parsers , the parsers are assigned a priority
       value that is encoded into the names of the files in the ParserDetails.d directory.  Specifi‐
       cally,  the file name will be "XX-Some::Module", where XX denotes the priority and Some::Mod‐
       ule is the name of the parser module.

       When --update is called, the parsers are listed in an order of ascending  priority  into  the
       ParserDetails.ini  file.  The last parser in the file, ie. the one with the highest priority,
       is the default XML::SAX parser.

       Parsers with the same priority are sorted alphabetically by their name.  This is contrary  to
       the behaviour of earlier versions, where the sort order was undefined and depended on the un‐
       derlying file system.

NOTE
       Installing  the  original  package from CPAN into /usr/local breaks the Debian package, since
       the former is in Perl's @INC before the latter.  So, please don't do this.

       If there's a new version of XML::SAX simply file a wishlist against the  Debian  package  and
       wait for the update.
