NAME

6       Dpkg::Changelog::Parse - generic changelog parser for
7       dpkg-parsechangelog
8

DESCRIPTION

10       This module provides a set of functions which reproduce all the
11       features of dpkg-parsechangelog.
12

FUNCTIONS

14       $fields = changelog_parse(%opt)
15           This function will parse a changelog. In list context, it returns
16           as many Dpkg::Control objects as the parser did create. In scalar
17           context, it will return only the first one. If the parser did not
18           return any data, it will return an empty list in list context or
19           undef on scalar context. If the parser failed, it will die. Any
20           parse errors will be printed as warnings on standard error, but
21           this can be disabled by passing $opt{verbose} to 0.
22
23           The changelog file that is parsed is debian/changelog by default
24           but it can be overridden with $opt{file}. The changelog name used
25           in output messages can be specified with $opt{label}, otherwise it
26           will default to $opt{file}.  The default output format is "dpkg"
27           but it can be overridden with $opt{format}.
28
29           The parsing itself is done by a parser module (searched in the
30           standard perl library directories. That module is named according
31           to the format that it is able to parse, with the name capitalized.
32           By default it is either Dpkg::Changelog::Debian (from the "debian"
33           format) or the format name looked up in the 40 last lines of the
34           changelog itself (extracted with this perl regular expression
35           "\schangelog-format:\s+([0-9a-z]+)\W"). But it can be overridden
36           with $opt{changelogformat}.
37
38           If $opt{compression} is false, the file will be loaded without
39           compression support, otherwise by default compression support is
40           disabled if the file is the default.
41
42           All the other keys in %opt are forwarded to the parser module
43           constructor.
