NAME
       Dpkg::Control::HashCore - parse and manipulate a block of RFC822-like
       fields

DESCRIPTION
       The Dpkg::Control::Hash object is a hash-like representation of a set
       of RFC822-like fields. The fields names are case insensitive and are
       always capitalized the same when output (see field_capitalize function
       in Dpkg::Control::Fields).  The order in which fields have been set is
       remembered and is used to be able to dump back the same content. The
       output order can also be overridden if needed.

       You can store arbitrary values in the hash, they will always be
       properly escaped in the output to conform to the syntax of control
       files. This is relevant mainly for multilines values: while the first
       line is always output unchanged directly after the field name,
       supplementary lines are modified. Empty lines and lines containing only
       dots are prefixed with " ." (space + dot) while other lines are
       prefixed with a single space.

       During parsing, trailing spaces are stripped on all lines while leading
       spaces are stripped only on the first line of each field.

METHODS
       $c = Dpkg::Control::Hash->new(%opts)
	   Creates a new object with the indicated options. Supported options
	   are:

	   allow_pgp
		   Configures the parser to accept OpenPGP signatures around
		   the control information. Value can be 0 (default) or 1.

	   allow_duplicate
		   Configures the parser to allow duplicate fields in the
		   control information. Value can be 0 (default) or 1.

	   drop_empty
		   Defines if empty fields are dropped during the output.
		   Value can be 0 (default) or 1.

	   name	   The user friendly name of the information stored in the
		   object. It might be used in some error messages or
		   warnings. A default name might be set depending on the
		   type.

	   is_pgp_signed
		   Set by the parser (starting in dpkg 1.17.0) if it finds an
		   OpenPGP signature around the control information. Value can
		   be 0 (default) or 1, and undef when the option is not
		   supported by the code (in versions older than dpkg 1.17.0).

       $c->set_options($option, %opts)
	   Changes the value of one or more options.

       $value = $c->get_option($option)
	   Returns the value of the corresponding option.

       $c->load($file)
	   Parse the content of $file. Exits in case of errors. Returns true
	   if some fields have been parsed.

       $c->parse_error($file, $fmt, ...)
	   Prints an error message and dies on syntax parse errors.

       $c->parse($fh, $description)
	   Parse a control file from the given filehandle. Exits in case of
	   errors.  $description is used to describe the filehandle, ideally
	   it's a filename or a description of where the data comes from. It's
	   used in error messages. When called multiple times, the parsed
	   fields are accumulated.

	   Returns true if some fields have been parsed.

       $c->find_custom_field($name)
	   Scan the fields and look for a user specific field whose name
	   matches the following regex: /X[SBC]*-$name/i. Return the name of
	   the field found or undef if nothing has been found.

       $c->get_custom_field($name)
	   Identify a user field and retrieve its value.

       $c->save($filename)
	   Write the string representation of the control information to a
	   file.

       $str = $c->output()
       "$c"
	   Get a string representation of the control information. The fields
	   are sorted in the order in which they have been read or set except
	   if the order has been overridden with set_output_order().

       $c->output($fh)
	   Print the string representation of the control information to a
	   filehandle.

       $c->set_output_order(@fields)
	   Define the order in which fields will be displayed in the output()
	   method.

       $c->apply_substvars($substvars)
	   Update all fields by replacing the variables references with the
	   corresponding value stored in the Dpkg::Substvars object.

CHANGES
   Version 1.01 (dpkg 1.17.2)
       New method: $c->parse_error().

   Version 1.00 (dpkg 1.17.0)
       Mark the module as public.
