NAME
Dpkg::Control::FieldsCore - manage (list of official) control fields
DESCRIPTION
The modules contains a list of fieldnames with associated meta-data
explaining in which type of control information they are allowed. The
types are the CTRL_* constants exported by Dpkg::Control.
FUNCTIONS
$f = field_capitalize($field_name)
Returns the field name properly capitalized. All characters are
lowercase, except the first of each word (words are separated by a
hyphen in field names).
$bool = field_is_official($fname)
Returns true if the field is official and known.
$bool = field_is_allowed_in($fname, @types)
Returns true (1) if the field $fname is allowed in all the types
listed in the list. Note that you can use type sets instead of
individual types (ex: CTRL_FILE_CHANGES | CTRL_CHANGELOG).
field_allowed_in(A|B, C) returns true only if the field is allowed
in C and either A or B.
Undef is returned for non-official fields.
$new_field = field_transfer_single($from, $to, $field)
If appropriate, copy the value of the field named $field taken from
the $from Dpkg::Control object to the $to Dpkg::Control object.
Official fields are copied only if the field is allowed in both
types of objects. Custom fields are treated in a specific manner.
When the target is not among CTRL_PKG_SRC, CTRL_PKG_DEB or
CTRL_FILE_CHANGES, then they are always copied as is (the X- prefix
is kept). Otherwise they are not copied except if the target object
matches the target destination encoded in the field name. The
initial X denoting custom fields can be followed by one or more
letters among "S" (Source: corresponds to CTRL_PKG_SRC), "B"
(Binary: corresponds to CTRL_PKG_DEB) or "C" (Changes: corresponds
to CTRL_FILE_CHANGES).
Returns undef if nothing has been copied or the name of the new
field added to $to otherwise.
@field_list = field_transfer_all($from, $to)
Transfer all appropriate fields from $from to $to. Calls
field_transfer_single() on all fields available in $from.
Returns the list of fields that have been added to $to.
@field_list = field_ordered_list($type)
Returns an ordered list of fields for a given type of control
information. This list can be used to output the fields in a
predictable order. The list might be empty for types where the
order does not matter much.
($source, $version) = field_parse_binary_source($ctrl)
Parse the Source field in a binary package control stanza. The
field contains the source package name where it was built from, and
optionally a space and the source version enclosed in parenthesis
if it is different from the binary version.
Returns a list with the $source name, and the source $version, or
undef or an empty list when $ctrl does not contain a binary package
control stanza. Neither $source nor $version are validated, but
that can be done with Dpkg::Package::pkg_name_is_illegal() and
Dpkg::Version::version_check().
@field_list = field_list_src_dep()
List of fields that contains dependencies-like information in a
source Debian package.
@field_list = field_list_pkg_dep()
List of fields that contains dependencies-like information in a
binary Debian package. The fields that express real dependencies
are sorted from the stronger to the weaker.
$dep_type = field_get_dep_type($field)
Return the type of the dependency expressed by the given field. Can
either be "normal" for a real dependency field (Pre-Depends,
Depends, ...) or "union" for other relation fields sharing the
same syntax (Conflicts, Breaks, ...). Returns undef for fields
which are not dependencies.
$sep_type = field_get_sep_type($field)
Return the type of the field value separator. Can be one of
FIELD_SEP_UNKNOWN, FIELD_SEP_SPACE, FIELD_SEP_COMMA or
FIELD_SEP_LINE.
field_register($field, $allowed_types, %opts)
Register a new field as being allowed in control information of
specified types. %opts is optional.
$bool = field_insert_after($type, $ref, @fields)
Place field after another one ($ref) in output of control
information of type $type.
Return true if the field was inserted, otherwise false.
$bool = field_insert_before($type, $ref, @fields)
Place field before another one ($ref) in output of control
information of type $type.
Return true if the field was inserted, otherwise false.
