NAME

6       Dpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The files in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/ can provide information about
10       various vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those
11       files look like this:
12
13         Vendor: Debian
14         Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/
15         Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
16
17       If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the
18       relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:
19
20         Parent: Debian
21
22       The file should be named according to the vendor name. The usual
23       convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name in all
24       lowercase, but some variation is permitted. Namely, spaces are mapped
25       to dashes ('-'), and the file can have the same casing as the Vendor
26       field, or it can be capitalized.

FUNCTIONS

29       $dir = get_vendor_dir()
30           Returns the current dpkg origins directory name, where the vendor
31           files are stored.
32
33       $fields = get_vendor_info($name)
34           Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the
35           corresponding vendor file in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/. If $name is
36           omitted, it will use $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default which is
37           supposed to be a symlink to the vendor of the currently installed
38           operating system. Returns undef if there's no file for the given
39           vendor.
40
41       $name = get_vendor_file($name)
42           Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.
43
44       $name = get_current_vendor()
45           Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it
46           uses that first, otherwise it falls back to parsing
47           $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default.  If that file doesn't exist, it
48           returns undef.
49
50       $object = get_vendor_object($name)
51           Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor.  If
52           $name is omitted, return the object of the current vendor.  If no
53           vendor can be identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default
54           object.
55
56       run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
57           Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
