SYNOPSIS
my $bin = Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary->new(\%data);
print $bin; # auto-stringification
print $bin->Depends; # Debian::Dependencies object
DESCRIPTION
Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary can be used for representation and manipulation of "Package:" stanza of Debian source package control files in an object-oriented way. Converts itself to a textual representation in string context.FIELDS
The supported fields for binary stanzas are listed below. For more information about each field's meaning, consult the section named "Source package control files -- debian/control" of the Debian Policy Manual at <https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/>Note that real control fields may contain dashes in their names. These are replaced with underscores.
- Package
- Architecture
- Section
- Priority
- Essential
- Depends
- Recommends
- Suggests
- Enhances
- Replaces
- Pre_Depends
- Conflicts
- Breaks
- Provides
- Description
"Depends", "Conflicts" "Breaks", "Recommends", "Suggests", "Enhances", "Replaces", and "Pre_Depends" fields are converted to objects of Debian::Dependencies class upon construction.
Two more accessor methods are provided for easier handling of package's short and long description.
- short_description
- long_description
Setting them transparently modifies Description. Note that the value of long_description is ``unmangled'', that is without leading spaces, and empty lines are empty. Description on the other hand is just as it looks in a regular debian/control file - the long part is indented with a single space and empty lines are replaced with dots.
CONSTRUCTOR
- new
- new( { field => value, ... } )
- Creates a new Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary object and optionally initializes it with the supplied data.
