NAME

6       Dpkg::BuildFlags - query build flags
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The Dpkg::BuildFlags object is used by dpkg-buildflags and can be used
10       to query the same information.
11

METHODS

13       $bf = Dpkg::BuildFlags->new()
14           Create a new Dpkg::BuildFlags object. It will be initialized based
15           on the value of several configuration files and environment
16           variables.
17
18       $bf->load_vendor_defaults()
19           Reset the flags stored to the default set provided by the vendor.
20
21       $bf->load_system_config()
22           Update flags from the system configuration.
23
24       $bf->load_user_config()
25           Update flags from the user configuration.
26
27       $bf->load_environment_config()
28           Update flags based on user directives stored in the environment.
29           See dpkg-buildflags(1) for details.
30
31       $bf->load_maintainer_config()
32           Update flags based on maintainer directives stored in the
33           environment. See dpkg-buildflags(1) for details.
34
35       $bf->load_config()
36           Call successively load_system_config(), load_user_config(),
37           load_environment_config() and load_maintainer_config() to update
38           the default build flags defined by the vendor.
39
40       $bf->set($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
41           Update the build flag $flag with value $value and record its origin
42           as $source (if defined). Record it as maintainer modified if $maint
43           is defined and true.
44
45       $bf->set_feature($area, $feature, $enabled)
46           Update the boolean state of whether a specific feature within a
47           known feature area has been enabled. The only currently known
48           feature areas are "qa", "sanitize", "hardening" and "reproducible".
49
50       $bf->strip($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
51           Update the build flag $flag by stripping the flags listed in $value
52           and record its origin as $source (if defined). Record it as
53           maintainer modified if $maint is defined and true.
54
55       $bf->append($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
56           Append the options listed in $value to the current value of the
57           flag $flag.  Record its origin as $source (if defined). Record it
58           as maintainer modified if $maint is defined and true.
59
60       $bf->prepend($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
61           Prepend the options listed in $value to the current value of the
62           flag $flag.  Record its origin as $source (if defined). Record it
63           as maintainer modified if $maint is defined and true.
64
65       $bf->update_from_conffile($file, $source)
66           Update the current build flags based on the configuration
67           directives contained in $file. See dpkg-buildflags(1) for the
68           format of the directives.
69
70           $source is the origin recorded for any build flag set or modified.
71
72       $bf->get($flag)
73           Return the value associated to the flag. It might be undef if the
74           flag doesn't exist.
75
76       $bf->get_feature_areas()
77           Return the feature areas (i.e. the area values has_features will
78           return true for).
79
80       $bf->get_features($area)
81           Return, for the given area, a hash with keys as feature names, and
82           values as booleans indicating whether the feature is enabled or
83           not.
84
85       $bf->get_origin($flag)
86           Return the origin associated to the flag. It might be undef if the
87           flag doesn't exist.
88
89       $bf->is_maintainer_modified($flag)
90           Return true if the flag is modified by the maintainer.
91
92       $bf->has_features($area)
93           Returns true if the given area of features is known, and false
94           otherwise.  The only currently recognized feature areas are "qa",
95           "sanitize", "hardening" and "reproducible".
96
97       $bf->has($option)
98           Returns a boolean indicating whether the flags exists in the
99           object.
100
101       @flags = $bf->list()
102           Returns the list of flags stored in the object.
