=head1 NAME
Dpkg::Interface::Storable - common methods related to object serialization
=head1 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().
=cut
package
Dpkg::Interface::Storable 1.01;
use
strict;
use
warnings;
use
Carp;
use
Dpkg::Gettext;
use
Dpkg::ErrorHandling;
use
overload
'""'
=> \
&_stringify
,
'fallback'
=> 1;
=head1 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.
=over 4
=item $obj->parse($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.
=item $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).
=back
=head1 PROVIDED METHODS
=over 4
=item $obj->load($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
L<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).
=cut

my
(
$self
,
$file
,
%opts
) =

$opts
{compression} //= 1;

$self
->can(
'parse'
)) {
croak
ref

$self
) .
' cannot be loaded, it lacks the parse method'
;
}
my

;
$desc

'<standard input>'
);
}

{compression}) {
$fh

}

'cannot read %s'

ne
'-'
) {
close
(
$fh
) or syserr(g_(
'cannot close %s'
),
$file
);
}
return
$res
;
}
=item $obj->save($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
L<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).

}
}

Return a string representation of the object.

compression option.
