Dpkg::Interface::Storable - phpMan

NAME
    Dpkg::Interface::Storable - common methods related to object
    serialization

DESCRIPTION
    Dpkg::Interface::Storable is only meant to be used as parent class for
    other classes. It provides common methods that are all implemented on
    top of two basic methods parse() and output().

BASE METHODS
    Those methods must be provided by the class that wish to inherit from
    Dpkg::Interface::Storable so that the methods provided can work.

    $obj->parse($fh[, $desc])
        This methods initialize the object with the data stored in the
        filehandle. $desc is optional and is a textual description of the
        filehandle used in error messages.

    $string = $obj->output([$fh])
        This method returns a string representation of the object in $string
        and it writes the same string to $fh (if it's defined).

PROVIDED METHODS
    $obj->load($filename, %opts)
        Initialize the object with the data stored in the file. The file can
        be compressed, it will be decompressed on the fly by using a
        Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle object. If $opts{compression} is false
        the decompression support will be disabled. If $filename is "-",
        then the standard input is read (no compression is allowed in that
        case).

    $obj->save($filename, %opts)
        Store the object in the file. If the filename ends with a known
        compression extension, it will be compressed on the fly by using a
        Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle object. If $opts{compression} is false
        the compression support will be disabled. If $filename is "-", then
        the standard output is used (data are written uncompressed in that
        case).

    "$obj"
        Return a string representation of the object.

CHANGES
  Version 1.01 (dpkg 1.19.0)
    New options: The $obj->load() and $obj->save() methods support a new
    compression option.

  Version 1.00 (dpkg 1.15.6)
    Mark the module as public.
