NAME

HH::Unispool::Config::Entry::Numbered - Abstract class to group numbered UNISPOOL config entries

SYNOPSIS

None, this is an abstract class.

ABSTRACT

Abstract class for UNISPOOL numbered config file entries

DESCRIPTION

HH::Unispool::Config::Entry::Numbered is an abstract class to group numbered UNISPOOL config entries. Numbered entries are plain entries with a number which is not identifying in this API.

CONSTRUCTOR

new(OPT_HASH_REF)

Creates a new HH::Unispool::Config::Entry::Numbered object. OPT_HASH_REF is a hash reference used to pass initialization options. OPT_HASH_REF is mandatory. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF may include:

diff_number

Passed to set_diff_number(). Defaults to 0.

number

Passed to set_number().

Options for OPT_HASH_REF inherited through package HH::Unispool::Config::Entry may include:

name

Passed to set_name(). Mandatory option.

new_from_tokenizer(TOKENIZER)

This is an interface method. Constructs a new HH::Unispool::Config::Entry object using tokens. TOKENIZER is an HH::Unispool::Config::File::Tokenizer reference. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

METHODS

diff(TO [, DIFF_NUMBER])

This method is overloaded from package HH::Unispool::Config::Entry. Finds differences between two objects. In diff terms, the object is the from object and the specified TO parameter the to object. TO is a reference to an identical object class. Returns an empty string if no difference found and a difference descritpion string otherwise. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown. Paremeter DIFF_NUMBER if specified, overrules the value of get_diff_number.

get_name()

This method is inherited from package HH::Unispool::Config::Entry. Returns the entry name.

get_number()

Returns the entry number.

is_diff_number()

Returns whether diff() should consider the number attribtutes or not.

set_diff_number(VALUE)

State that diff() should consider the number attribtutes. VALUE is the value. Default value at initialization is 0. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

set_name(VALUE)

This method is inherited from package HH::Unispool::Config::Entry. Set the entry name. VALUE is the value. VALUE may not be undef. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

VALUE must match regular expression:
^.+$
set_number(VALUE)

Set the entry number. VALUE is the value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

VALUE must match regular expression:
^\d*$
write(FILE_HANDLE)

This is an interface method. Writes the entry to the specified file handle. FILE_HANDLE is an IO::Handle reference. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.
