METHODS

14       $entry = Dpkg::Changelog::Entry->new()
15           Creates a new object. It doesn't represent a real changelog entry
16           until one has been successfully parsed or built from scratch.
17
18       $str = $entry->output()
19       "$entry"
20           Get a string representation of the changelog entry.
21
22       $entry->output($fh)
23           Print the string representation of the changelog entry to a
24           filehandle.
25
26       $entry->get_part($part)
27           Return either a string (for a single line) or an array ref (for
28           multiple lines) corresponding to the requested part. $part can be
29           "header, "changes", "trailer", "blank_after_header",
30           "blank_after_changes", "blank_after_trailer".
31
32       $entry->set_part($part, $value)
33           Set the value of the corresponding part. $value can be a string or

35
36       $entry->extend_part($part, $value)
37           Concatenate $value at the end of the part. If the part is already a
38           multi-line value, $value is added as a new line otherwise it's
39           concatenated at the end of the current line.
40
41       $is_empty = $entry->is_empty()
42           Returns 1 if the changelog entry doesn't contain anything at all.
43           Returns 0 as soon as it contains something in any of its non-blank
44           parts.
45
46       $entry->normalize()
47           Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a
