Dpkg::Conf − parse dpkg configuration files
The Dpkg::Conf object can be used to read options from a configuration file. It can export an array that can then be parsed exactly like @ARGV.
$conf = Dpkg::Conf−>new(%opts)
Create a new Dpkg::Conf object. Some options can be set through %opts: if allow_short evaluates to true (it defaults to false), then short options are allowed in the configuration file, they should be prepended with a single hyphen.
@$conf
@options = $conf−>get_options()
Returns the list of options that can be parsed like @ARGV.
$conf−>load($file)
Read options from a file. Return the number of options parsed.
$conf−>load_system_config($file)
Read options from a system configuration file.
Return the number of options parsed.
$conf−>load_user_config($file)
Read options from a user configuration file. It will try to use the XDG directory, either $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dpkg/ or $HOME/.config/dpkg/.
Return the number of options parsed.
$conf−>load_config($file)
Read options from system and user configuration files.
Return the number of options parsed.
$conf−>parse($fh)
Parse options from a file handle. When called multiple times, the parsed options are accumulated.
Return the number of options parsed.
$conf−>filter(%opts)
Filter the list of options, either removing or keeping all those that return true when $opts{remove}−>($option) or $opts{keep}−>($option) is called.
$string = $conf−>output([$fh])
Write the options in the given filehandle (if defined) and return a string representation of the content (that would be) written.
"$conf"
Return a string representation of the content.
$conf−>save($file)
Save the options in a file.
