NAME
Dpkg::Changelog::Parse - generic changelog parser for
dpkg-parsechangelog
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a set of functions which reproduce all the
features of dpkg-parsechangelog.
FUNCTIONS
$fields = changelog_parse(%opt)
This function will parse a changelog. In list context, it returns
as many Dpkg::Control objects as the parser did create. In scalar
context, it will return only the first one. If the parser did not
return any data, it will return an empty list in list context or
undef on scalar context. If the parser failed, it will die. Any
parse errors will be printed as warnings on standard error, but
this can be disabled by passing $opt{verbose} to 0.
The changelog file that is parsed is debian/changelog by default
but it can be overridden with $opt{file}. The changelog name used
in output messages can be specified with $opt{label}, otherwise it
will default to $opt{file}. The default output format is "dpkg"
but it can be overridden with $opt{format}.
The parsing itself is done by a parser module (searched in the
standard perl library directories. That module is named according
to the format that it is able to parse, with the name capitalized.
By default it is either Dpkg::Changelog::Debian (from the "debian"
format) or the format name looked up in the 40 last lines of the
changelog itself (extracted with this perl regular expression
"\schangelog-format:\s+([0-9a-z]+)\W"). But it can be overridden
with $opt{changelogformat}.
If $opt{compression} is false, the file will be loaded without
compression support, otherwise by default compression support is
disabled if the file is the default.
All the other keys in %opt are forwarded to the parser module
constructor.
