Dpkg::Vendor - phpMan

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

DESCRIPTION
    The files in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/ can provide information about
    various vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those files
    look like this:

      Vendor: Debian
      Vendor-URL: https://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. The usual
    convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name in all
    lowercase, but some variation is permitted. Namely, spaces are mapped to
    dashes ('-'), and the file can have the same casing as the Vendor field,
    or it can be capitalized.

FUNCTIONS
    $dir = get_vendor_dir()
        Returns the current dpkg origins directory name, where the vendor
        files are stored.

    $fields = get_vendor_info($name)
        Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the
        corresponding vendor file in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/. If $name is
        omitted, it will use $Dpkg::CONFDIR/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.

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

    $name = 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
        $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default. If that file doesn't exist, it
        returns undef.

    $object = get_vendor_object($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.

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