NAME
Dpkg::Changelog::Entry - represents a changelog entry
DESCRIPTION
This object represents a changelog entry. It is composed of a set of
lines with specific purpose: an header line, changes lines, a trailer
line. Blank lines can be between those kind of lines.
FUNCTIONS
- my $entry = Dpkg::Changelog::Entry->new()
- Creates a new object. It doesn't represent a real changelog entry
until one has been successfully parsed or built from scratch. - my $str = $entry->output()
"$entry" - Get a string representation of the changelog entry.
- $entry->output($fh)
- Print the string representation of the changelog entry to a
filehandle. - $entry->get_part($part)
- Return either a string (for a single line) or an array ref (for
multiple lines) corresponding to the requested part. $part can be
"header, "changes", "trailer", "blank_after_header",
"blank_after_changes", "blank_after_trailer". - $entry->set_part($part, $value)
- Set the value of the corresponding part. $value can be a string or an array ref.
- $entry->extend_part($part, $value)
- Concatenate $value at the end of the part. If the part is already a
multi-line value, $value is added as a new line otherwise it's
concatenated at the end of the current line. - $is_empty = $entry->is_empty()
- Returns 1 if the changelog entry doesn't contain anything at all.
Returns 0 as soon as it contains something in any of its non-blank parts. - $entry->normalize()
