Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - phpMan

NAME
    Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs

DESCRIPTION
    This class represents a Debian changelog file as an array of changelog
    entries (Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian). It implements the generic
    interface Dpkg::Changelog. Only methods specific to this implementation
    are described below, the rest are inherited.

    Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in
    deb-changelog(5).

    The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments,
    RCS keywords, Vim modelines, Emacs local variables and stuff from older
    changelogs with other formats at the end of the file. NOTE: most of
    these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued
    for them. This should become configurable in the future.

METHODS
    $count = $c->parse($fh, $description)
        Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it, to store the
        entries as an array of Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian objects. Any
        previous entries in the object are reset before parsing new data.

        Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with
        success.

CHANGES
