Dpkg::Vendor(3perl) libdpkg-perl Dpkg::Vendor(3perl)NAMEDpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information
DESCRIPTION
The files in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/ can provide information about
various vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those
files look like this:
Vendor: Debian
Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/
Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the
relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:
Parent: Debian
The file should be named according to the vendor name. The usual
convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name in all
lowercase, but some variation is permitted. Namely, spaces are mapped
to dashes ('-'), and the file can have the same casing as the Vendor
field, or it can be capitalized.
FUNCTIONS
$dir = get_vendor_dir()
Returns the current dpkg origins directory name, where the vendor
files are stored.
$fields = get_vendor_info($name)
Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the
corresponding vendor file in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/. If $name is
omitted, it will use $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default which is
supposed to be a symlink to the vendor of the currently installed
operating system. Returns undef if there's no file for the given
vendor.
$name = get_vendor_file($name)
Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.
$name = get_current_vendor()
Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it
uses that first, otherwise it falls back to parsing
$Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default. If that file doesn't exist, it
returns undef.
$object = get_vendor_object($name)
Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor. If
$name is omitted, return the object of the current vendor. If no
vendor can be identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default
object.
run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
