Lintian::Processable::Control: access to collected control file data
NAME
Lintian::Processable::Control - access to collected control file data
SYNOPSIS
use Lintian::Processable;
my $processable = Lintian::Processable::Binary->new;
DESCRIPTION
Lintian::Processable::Control provides an interface to control file data.INSTANCE METHODS
- control
- Returns the index for a binary control file.
- control_index (FILE)
-
Returns a path object to FILE in the control.tar.gz.
FILE must be relative to the root of the control.tar.gz and must be
without leading slash (or ``./''). If FILE is not in the
control.tar.gz, it returns "undef".
To get a list of entries in the control.tar.gz, see ``sorted_control_index''. To actually access the underlying file (e.g. the contents), use ``control ([FILE])''.
Note that the ``root directory'' (denoted by the empty string) will always be present, even if the underlying tarball omits it.
Needs-Info requirements for using control_index: bin-pkg-control
- sorted_control_index
-
Returns a sorted array of file names listed in the control.tar.gz.
The names will not have a leading slash (or ``./'') and can be passed
to ``control ([FILE])'' or ``control_index (FILE)'' as is.
The array will not contain the entry for the ``root'' of the control.tar.gz.
Needs-Info requirements for using sorted_control_index: Same as control_index
- control_index_resolved_path(PATH)
-
Resolve PATH (relative to the root of the package) and return the
entry denoting the resolved path.
The resolution is done using resolve_path.
