Dpkg::Control::Info - phpMan

NAME
    Dpkg::Control::Info - parse files like debian/control

DESCRIPTION
    It provides a class to access data of files that follow the same syntax
    as debian/control.

METHODS
    $c = Dpkg::Control::Info->new(%opts)
        Create a new Dpkg::Control::Info object. Loads the file from the
        filename option, if no option is specified filename defaults to
        debian/control. If a scalar is passed instead, it will be used as
        the filename. If filename is "-", it parses the standard input. If
        filename is undef no loading will be performed.

    $c->reset()
        Resets what got read.

    $c->parse($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 is
        used in error messages. The data in the object is reset before
        parsing new control files.

    $c->load($file)
        Load the content of $file. Exits in case of errors. If file is "-",
        it loads from the standard input.

    $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.

    $str = $c->output([$fh])
        Return the content info into a string. If $fh is specified print it
        into the 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.
