NAME
Dpkg::Source::Format - manipulate debian/source/format files
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a class that can manipulate Debian source package
debian/source/format files.
METHODS
$f = Dpkg::Source::Format->new(%opts)
Creates a new object corresponding to a source package's
debian/source/format file. When the key filename is set, it will be
used to parse and set the format. Otherwise if the format key is
set it will be validated and used to set the format.
$f->set_from_parts($major[, $minor[, $variant]])
Sets the source format from its parts. The $major part is
mandatory. The $minor and $variant parts are optional.
Notice: This function performs no validation.
($major, $minor, $variant) = $f->set($format)
Sets (and validates) the source $format specified. Will return the
parsed format parts as a list, the optional $minor and $variant
parts might be undef.
($major, $minor, $variant) = $f->get()
$format = $f->get()
Gets the source format, either as properly formatted scalar, or as
a list of its parts, where the optional $minor and $variant parts
might be undef.
$count = $f->parse($fh, $desc)
Parse the source format string from $fh, with filehandle
description $desc.
$count = $f->load($filename)
Parse $filename contents for a source package format string.
$str = $f->output([$fh])
"$f"
Returns a string representing the source package format version.
If $fh is set, it prints the string to the filehandle.
$f->save($filename)
Save the source package format into the given $filename.
