NAME

6       Biber::Output::base - base class for Biber output modules.
7
8   new
9           Initialize a Biber::Output::base object
10
11   set_output_target_file
12           Set the output target file of a Biber::Output::base object
13           A convenience around set_output_target so we can keep track of the
14           filename. Returns an IO::File object for the target
15
16   get_output_target_file
17         Get the output target file name
18
19   set_output_target
20           Set the output target of a Biber::Output::base object
21
22   set_output_head
23           Set the output head of a Biber::Output::base object
24           $data could be anything - the caller is expected to know.
25
26   set_output_tail
27           Set the output tail of a Biber::Output::base object
28           $data could be anything - the caller is expected to know.
29
30   get_output_head
31           Get the output head of a Biber::Output object
32           $data could be anything - the caller is expected to know.
33           Mainly used in debugging
34
35   get_output_tail
36           Get the output tail of a Biber::Output object
37           $data could be anything - the caller is expected to know.
38           Mainly used in debugging
39
40   add_output_head
41           Add to the head output data of a Biber::Output::base object
42           The base class method just does a string append
43
44   add_output_tail
45           Add to the tail output data of a Biber::Output::base object
46           The base class method just does a string append
47
48   set_output_section
49         Records the section object in the output object
50         We need some information from this when writing the output
51
52   get_output_section
53         Retrieve the output section object
54
55   get_output_entries
56           Get the sorted order output data for all entries in a list as array ref
57           Used really only in tests as it instantiates list dynamic information so
58           we can see it in tests. As a result, we have to NFC() the result to mimic
59           real output since UTF-8 output is assumed in most tests.
60
61   get_output_comments
62           Get the output comments for tool mode tests
63
64   get_output_entry
65           Get the output data for a specific entry.
66           Used really only in tests as it instantiates list dynamic information so
67           we can see it in tests. As a result, we have to NFC() the result to mimic
68           real output since UTF-8 output is assumed in most tests.
69
70   set_output_entry
71           Add an entry output to a Biber::Output::base object
72           The base class method just does a dump
73
74   create_output_misc
75           Create the output for misc bits and pieces like preamble and closing
76           macro call and add to output object.
77
78   create_output_section
79           Create the output from the sections data and push it into the
80           output object.
81
82   set_output_keyalias
83         Set the output for a key which is an alias to another key
84
85   set_output_undefkey
86         Set the output for an undefined key
87
88   output
89           Generic base output method
