NAME
Config::Model::Backend::Debian::DpkgSyntax - Role to read and write files with Dpkg syntax
VERSION
version 1.214
SYNOPSIS
# in Dpkg dedicated backend class
DESCRIPTION
This module is a Moose role to add capacity to read and write dpkg control files to Config::Model backend classes.
parse_dpkg_file ( file_handle )
Read a control file from the file_handle and returns a nested list (or a list ref) containing data from the file.
The returned list is of the form :
[
# section 1
[ keyword1 => value1, # for text or simple values
keyword2 => value2, # etc
],
# section 2
[ ... ]
# etc ...
]
write_dpkg_file ( io_handle, list_ref, list_sep )
Munge the passed list ref into a string compatible with control files and write it in the passed file handle.
The input is a list of list in a form similar to the one generated by parse_dpkg_file:
[ section [ keyword => value | value_list ] ]
Except that the value may be a SCALAR or a list ref. In case, of a list ref, the list items will be joined with the value list_sep
before being written.
For instance the following code :
my $ref = [ [ Foo => 'foo value' , Bar => [ qw/v1 v2/ ] ];
write_dpkg_file ( $ioh, $ref, ', ' )
will yield:
Foo: foo value
Bar: v1, v2
